Our Mission
Our goal is to create true unity among people of all religious backgrounds, including the six major world religions and the orally transmitted mythologies of the indigenous peoples of the world. Buddhism originated in orally transmitted mythology.
Our Vision
To secure the peaceful and harmonious unity of all living beings and our shared environment.
Action Plan
To you I offer a precious gift:
A tiny seed, safely hidden,
secret tendrils rooted to the soul...
When your time is right, it will bloom for you:
A newborn star, brilliant, everlasting in its glory!
Born of pure heart, freely given,
the fruit of its flower is named Truth Eternal:
A tiny seed, safely hidden,
secret tendrils rooted to the soul…
We are organizing as a 501c3 nonprofit educational foundation dedicated to the peace, security, and prosperity of all living beings and our environments, firmly based in the Lotus Sutra, Nichiren’s concept of The Three Great Secret Dharmas, the actual laws established by the Buddhas among humanity.
Our Approach
Our Story
Code of Conduct
The heart of the Buddha’s lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the “Never Disparaging” chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging’s profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behavior as a human being.
The wise may be called human, but the thoughtless are no more than animals.
Respectfully,
Nichiren
