“KAI” – Society or organization
Rissho Kosei-Kai was established in 1938 in Japan by Founder Nikkyo Niwano and Co-founder Myoko Naganuma. They aspired to liberate all people from suffering.
Life can be demanding in the modern world. The Threefold Lotus Sutra teachings provide tools to navigate life's challenges. At the same time, we can share the joy of the Dharma with compassion to create a brighter future.
OUR PRACTICE
An Approach to Finding Happiness in Modern Life
Revering Buddha Nature
We are all invaluable beings. We need to treat each other well. The core of Rissho Kosei-kai members' practice is to be mindful of revering buddha nature, that is, paying homage to and revering all living beings. Through this repeated experience, we nurture harmony. This is one practice of compassion that anyone can do anywhere, anytime.
Turning Everyday Life Into Buddhist Practice
We are a non-monastic community. We lead ordinary lives--we may go to school, have jobs, be single, or be parents and grandparents. Our daily life is a place of Buddhist practice by recognizing the opportunites for spiritual growth in our everyday life and cherishing every encounter.
MEMBERS' VOW
We members of Rissho Kosei-kai
Take refuge in the Eternal Buddha Shakyamuni

Under the guidance of our revered founder, Nikkyo Niwano.
In the spirit of lay Buddhists, We vow to perfect ourselves
Through personal discipline and leading others
And by improving our knowledge and practice of the faith,
And we pledge ourselves to follow the bodhisattva way
To bring peace to our families, communities, and countries, and to the world.
