Description

Specialties

Rissho Kosei-​kai is a Buddhist organization originally founded in Japan in 1938. We started sharing the teachings of Buddhism in the United States with our first church inHawaii 50 years ago and we now have dharma centers in many U.S. locations, and an online sangha for those who do not live close to one of our centers. Rissho Kosei-​kai was established for sharing the Buddha Dharma with a special focus on the Lotus Sutra (Ekayana Buddhism) for all practitioners living in the United States and Canada. Through the study and practice of these teachings, we are able to recognize the Buddha-​nature in ourselves and others.
