Nicheren Buddhism Temple chant of “Nam-myoho-renge-kyo,” roughly = the Mormon Hosanna shout?

Temples Temples in Mormonism are the places where the Resurrected Christ appears and reveals His will to the Prophets and Apostles. Within these Temples, members pray, meditate, and participate in sacred ordinances including proxy baptisms and marriages take place. LDS believers are encouraged to complete such temple work for their ancestors, as to allow them the opportunity to progress in the spirit world, should they (the ancestors) decide to accept the gospel in that world. Only LDS people who keep certain commandments are allowed to use the temples. Buddhist temples are used mainly for worship activities including: bowing, chanting, lighting incense, altar offerings, and meditation. In Nicheren Buddhism, the chant of “Nam-myoho-renge-kyo,” appears roughly equivalent with the Mormon Hosanna shout, used both when a temple is dedicated and by the Nephite people of ancient America, after they heard the Resurrected Christ preach his gospel. Your thoughts?
