About
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Rissho Kosei-kai Digital Archive.
This digital archive encapsulates the very essence of Rissho Kosei-kai. It is an online service that allows you to search and explore the organization's past and present through a rich collection of videos, audio recordings, and images. Featured prominently are the teachings of our founder, Nikkyo Niwano, who shared the wisdom of Buddhism (the Lotus Sutra) in a gentle, accessible, and practical manner for everyday life.
Following in Founder Niwano's footsteps, we aim to create a digital archive that helps foster generous and meaningful connections among people.
