Twenty-six Admonitions of Nikkō, The ［日興遺誡置文］ ( Nikkō-yuikai-okibumi): Also known as The Twenty-six Warning Articles. A document that Nikkō, Nichiren’s designated successor, wrote on the thirteenth day of the first month, 1333, less than a month before his death. This document, written at Omosu Seminary in Fuji District of Suruga Province, Japan, exhorts both priests and laity of future generations to maintain the purity of Nichiren’s teachings, and outlines the fundamental spirit of faith, practice, and study. The articles warn against the violation of Nichiren’s teachings and the failure to admonish it, prohibit worship at the shrines and temples of erroneous schools, and clarify the difference between the Fuji (Nikkō’s) school and the teachings and actions of the five senior priests who were Nichiren’s disciples. The Twenty-six Admonitions of Nikkō also touches on the correct way of study, the proper conduct of priests, the correct attitude of practitioners in general, and respect for those who propagate the teaching. Article Thirteen, for example, states: “Until kōsen-rufu (wide dissemination of the Law) is achieved, propagate the Law to the full extent of your ability without begrudging your life.”
