"In considering the order of the five seasonal festivals, we find that they correspond respectively to the five characters of Myoho-Renge-Kyo. New Year’s Day celebrates the character Myo."
(written by Nichiren Daishonin in 13th century Japan)

In the Gosho, “The Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra,” Nichiren Daishonin states, “‘Myo’ means to revive, that is, to return to life. The Chinese character “Myo” of Myoho-Renge-Kyo contains many profound meanings and this profundity characterizes Myoho-Renge-Kyo. When we believe in and carry out the practice of chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, our lives, which have been poisoned by provisional teachings and negative karma will transform into lives of enlightenment. In Buddhism, the word “revive” means to transform our evil nature into a higher life-condition and to attain Buddhahood.
