Discover Nichiren Shu Buddhism. We offer a form of Buddhist practice based on the Lotus Sutra and the teachings of 13th century monk Nichiren Shonin. While there are nearly 40 Nichiren based schools, we are the orthodox school practicing Mahayana Buddhism based on the Lotus Sutra, with an unbroken lineage extending back to the 13th century. We have rich traditions and rituals and offer services in both shindoku (faith language) and English. We also offer study of the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren Shonin's writings, shakyo (sutra copying) and sutra chanting practices.

We are known as the noisy Buddhists because of our use of drums and bells when we chant. EVERYONE is welcome, no experience necessary. Just bring an open mind, a willingness to ask questions and check out what we have to offer.

We use several ways to get the word out for our Sangha, because of this the "Who's coming?" RSVP may not reflect the actual number of people who attend our services.
