The basic activity of the disciple is to chant 'Namu Myohorenge-kyo' to the principle image and to read and learn Hoke-kyo (Nichiren chants for self awareness), as well as practicing Shakubuku (to correct another's false views and awaken that person to the truth of Buddhism) to teach these learnings to other people (chant of Keta (for other people)).
信徒の修行としては、本尊に向かって「南無妙法蓮華経」の題目を唱え、法華経を読誦すること（自行の題目）と並び、それを他の人に伝える折伏の修行（化他の題目）が基本となる。
