About us
The Nichiren Shu Buddhist Sangha of Chicago started under the guidance of Ven. Kenjo Igarashi of the Nichiren Shu tradition. We are a growing community that seeks to reflect with one another the ways in which the practice and study of Buddhism can promote a positive impact in ourselves, our community, and our journey.
We hold free and open-to-the-public Buddhist Services on the 3rd Sundays of every month.
We hold free and open-to-the-public monthly meditation sessions on the last Tuesday of every month.
