Nichiren: The Buddhist Prophet is a book written by Masaharu Anesaki, first published in 1916.

The book provides a detailed account of Nichiren's life, teachings, and impact on Japanese society. Anesaki explores Nichiren's struggles with the established Buddhist schools of his time, his political activism, and his exiles. The book also examines Nichiren's unique teachings, including his emphasis on the Lotus Sutra as the ultimate Buddhist text, and his belief that all people can attain enlightenment in this lifetime.
