The Honmon Butsuryū-shū ( Japanese 本 門 佛 立 宗 ) is a Buddhist school that can be assigned to Nichiren Buddhism .

It was first founded as a lay organization in 1857 by Nagamatsu Nissen ( 長 松 日 扇 ; 1817–1890) in Japan. In its origins still affiliated to the Honmon Hokke Shū as "Honmon Butsuryū Ko" , it became an independent organization from 1947 as Honmon Butsuryū-shū. Although this group is generally considered to be the first Buddhist lay organization in Japan to devote itself to the Lotus Sutra and the teachings of Nichiren , it reintroduced the priesthood in the later course of its history and is thus sometimes counted among the traditional schools of Nichiren Buddhism. The main temple of the Honmon Butsuryū-shū is Yūsei-ji in Kyoto . The majority of the following is in Japan, with churches in North America and Brazil as well.
