Description

I hope that we can help to better understand and teach the principles of the Eternal Buddha and Nichiren Shonin's teachings, we welcome all people to come and participate in our discusions or to answer your questions.

Group Policy: This is a pro-Nichiren Shu, pro-Lotus Sutra, pro-Buddha Dharma, and pro-Nichiren Shonin group. This group is not for promoting or attacking any other school or group of Buddhism. Different perspectives are welcome provided it is in a spirit of sharing or respectful dialogue and not sectarian sparring. Flames, spam, and links to agendas that are not in keeping with the spirit of this list will be deleted and after two warnings their authors will be banned. While differences of opinion and even controversy are welcome, provided it is done in a civil manner, it is the hope of this moderator to keep things focused on the positive, the practical, and above all on the application of Buddha Dharma to daily life.
