MEMBERS' VOW
We members of Rissho Kosei-kai
Take refuge in the Eternal Buddha Shakyamuni
And recognize in Buddhism a true way of liberation,
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.
