Nichiren Buddhism in North Texas
A Buddhist practice for everyday life, and for peace.
We are a community of the Soka Gakkai International, a lay Buddhist network in 192 countries and territories. Everyone is welcome to learn, chant and attend a meeting.
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
The central practice of Nichiren Buddhism is chanting this phrase, the title of the Lotus Sutra. It expresses the teaching that every person has the Buddha nature and can bring out wisdom, courage and compassion to transform their circumstances.
Three foundations of practice
Faith
Confidence in your own potential and in the potential of others, developed through daily practice and experience.
Practice
Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and reciting portions of the Lotus Sutra morning and evening, and sharing Buddhism with others.
Study
Reading the writings of Nichiren and the guidance of SGI presidents to deepen understanding and apply it in daily life.
Discussion meetings
Meet your neighbors in practice
Each month, members across Dallas–Fort Worth gather at the center and in members’ homes to chant, study and share experiences. Guests are always welcome, in English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin/Chinese, Thai, Lao, and other languages.
