Nichiren and the Great Mongol Invasion | Short Film
Journey back to 13th-century Kamakura, Japan, a nation on the brink of disaster. Experience "The Lion's Roar," a stunning, 10-minute short film that brings the powerful writings of Nichiren Daishonin to life through groundbreaking AI production.
Follow the unwavering path of Nichiren, a revolutionary Buddhist monk who prophesied foreign invasion and natural disasters as a consequence of the nation's straying from the true law of the Lotus Sutra. Witness his courageous stand against the powerful Kamakura shogunate, his unjust persecutions, and the miraculous events that defined his legacy.
From the dramatic Tatsunokuchi Persecution to the fated Mongol invasion, this film visualizes the core tenets of his teachings: that the true protection of a nation lies not in swords and armies, but in the united faith of its people chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. This is a story of how a single voice, rooted in profound conviction, can become a great wave of change, turning fear into unshakeable faith.
