At the heart of Nichiren Shu Buddhism is a simple but profound conviction: that every person — regardless of background, ability, or circumstance — can awaken to their inherent Buddhahood in this very lifetime. Our practices are the path to that awakening, handed down to us from Shakyamuni Buddha through the Lotus Sutra and our founder, Nichiren Shōnin.

This page offers an introduction to the core practices of Nichiren Shu. Whether you are curious about what happens at a temple service or looking to establish a daily practice at home, you will find guidance here.
