Reidan 霊断
Nichiren Shu Reidan
Reidan practice began when the first compilation of the Showa Teihon (Collection of Nichiren Shonin’s Writings) was being compiled by Nichiren Shu. During this process Nichiko Takasa found secret passages in Nichiren Shonin’s letters that taught a way in which humans could communicate with the spiritual realm (Buddhist deities) and gain their direction and wisdom to restore harmony and help create a peaceful life for practitioners.
我此土安穏 天人常充満
Ga shi do annon, ten nin jō jūman
“In reality this world of mine is peaceful it is filled with gods and men”
Reidan is called “Cross Buddhism,” which is symbolized by the crest of this practice, see on the right of this page. this crest symbolizing the place where the physical and spiritual worlds meet and communicate through ones Buddha nature consciousness.

Do you know about your Gushoreijin?
The basic belief of Reidan is that each person at birth is born with two deities called Gushoreijin. You could call the Gushoreijin, your personal divinity. Each person has Buddha-nature and through our faith and practice we strengthen our Gushoreijin and can realize the signs that they give us increasing our mindfulness.
The two Reijin (Spiritual Beings) are Doshōten 同生天, who has the same Birthday as us and Domyōten 同名天, who has the same name as us. Both sit on our Right and left shoulders recording our Karmic deeds and the many events in our lives. You could say that these deities know us best and we realize their presence and we can listen to their guidance and teachings.
