Teaching
As you browse through the selections please ask your minister for help understanding the Dharma.
It is through Practice and Study that we can find enlightenment.
"Have faith in the Great Mandala Gohonzon, the most superlative in the world. Endeavor! Endeavor to strenghten your faith, so that you may be blessed with the protective powers of all the Buddhas. Lean and practice to strengthen your faith. Without learning and practicing, there is no Buddhism. Follow this yourself and influence others to do the same. To learn and to practice are a part of faith. Even if it is only a word or a phrase, spread it to others".

Nichiren (April 6, 1222 – October 13, 1282) was a Buddhist monk who lived during the Kamakura period (1185–1333) in Japan. Nichiren taught devotion to the Lotus Sutra (entitled Myōhō-Renge-Kyō in Japanese)— which contained Gautama Buddha's teachings towards the end of his life — as the exclusive means to attain enlightenment.
