Shakyamuni Buddha sure is grand
Nichiren too is a good ole’ man
And the Lotus Sutra ain’t no sham
Chanting Daimoku every day
What other mentors do you need?
We embrace the one true creed
Believing them in word and deed
Chanting Daimoku every day
No matter what the others say
The Lotus Sutra is the only Way
To keep us out of Mappo’s fray
Chanting Daimoku every day
The Taisekaji teachings kill the truth
Destroys the old and corrupts the youth
Get out of your coccoon-like booth
Chanting Daimoku every day.
Following Daisaku and Nichinyo
Is the wrong and worst way to go
Let us notch our arrow in our bow
Chanting Daimoku every day
Shakabuku is break and subdue
The evil passions and delusions too
Poor general members have no clue
Despite chanting all the day
The Lotus Sutra is the only One
Even brighter than the sun
Nichiren's disciples never outdone
Chanting Daimoku every day.
Succession through the scrolls we say
Sure to bring a bright new way
Never bound and often gay
Chanting Daimoku every day
With Guatama and Saint Nichiren
We could never fail to win
Striving to remove the slanderers grin
Chanting Daimoku every day.
Shakyamuni Buddha sure is grand
Nichiren too is a good ole’ man
And the Lotus Sutra ain’t no sham
Chanting Daimoku every day
What other mentors do you need?
We embrace the one true creed
Believing them in word and deed
Chanting Daimoku every day
that will do.
