Nichiren is a rebel. Shijo Kingo is quick-tempered and, like most of us, has an inherent sense of what's right and what's wrong. He becomes Nichiren's pupil and learns to chant a powerful invocation that can bring peace to the world. Because Nichiren refutes the main religions of his day and teaches the chant, he is almost killed and is exiled. However, the key to his victory lies in that very same chant. This is a true story of amazing events that saved Nichiren's life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are now more than 12 million practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism worldwide as a world peace movement.
