![]() ![]() Nichiren Daishonin had previously stated in his will, "When the lord of Mount Minobu goes against the Law, I (Nichiren) will no longer reside there." Furthermore, in one of his final directives, the Daishonin stated, "When the sovereign embraces this Law, establish the High Sanctuary of Hommonji Temple at Mount Fuji." Thus, Nikko Shonin decided to leave Mount Minobu in the spring of 1289, carrying with him the foundation of true Buddhism, the Dai-Gohonzon of the High Sanctuary of the Essential Teaching, together with the ashes of Nichiren Daishonin. Sanenaga, however, ignored his master and refused to correct it. Nikko Shonin frequently gave Sanenaga strict admonitions to put a halt to his slanderous behavior. Within a few years, however, at the instigation of Mimbu Ajari Niko, Hakiri Sanenaga, the lord of the area, began to repeatedly commit slanderous act against the Daishonin's teachings. After the Daishonin's passing, he became the Chief Priest ( betto) of Minobu-san Kuonji Temple. In 1282, Nikko Shonin received the transmission of the entirety of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism. The founding lord, Nanjo Shichiro Jiro Taira-no Tokimitsu (commonly "Nanjo Tokimitsu"), was the lord of Fuji Ueno Country. The name Taisekiji (Great Rock Temple) is derived from the name of the area, O-ishi-ga-hara (Big Stone Field). Taho Fuji Dainichirenge-san Taisekiji was founded in October 1290 by the Second High Priest, Byakuren Ajari Nikko Shonin, the legitimate successor to our Founder Nichiren Daishonin. ![]()
