I'm a member of Soka Gakkai International, a movement founded upon the philosophy and practice of the Nichiren School of Mahayana Buddhism.

Based upon the Lotus Sutra, Nichiren taught that all life inherently contains the potential of the buddha state which exists eternally and manifests as compassion, courage, wisdom and life-force.

As we chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, the buddha state emerges from within, enabling us to draw on limitless inner resources and thereby actively contribute to a creative and peaceful society. From Japanese, Soka Gakkai means school of value creation, this is activated through natural laws, just like the laws of physics.
