According to here: http://members.freezone.co.uk/sunspark/nmhrk/whatis.htm The phrase NAM-MYOHO-RENGE-KYO is taken from the title of the greatest teaching of the first historically recorded Buddha, known as Siddhartha Gautama or Shakyamuni Buddha, who lived in India around 500 years before Christ was born. This teaching, called the Lotus Sutra, declares that all living beings, regardless of gender or intelligence (that means everyone - including you and me!), have the potential to attain Buddhahood. There's also a fair amount of information here: http://www.sgi-uk.org/index.php/buddhism/nam-myoho-renge-kyo
