About the World Peace Buddhist Group

The purpose of this organization is to promote the study and practice of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, especially as the Buddhist philosophy interrelates with various academic fields.

Buddhism aims to awaken people to the limitless potential and value of their own lives. Buddhist philosophy and practice bring about a positive transformation in the depths of life, transforming fear into courage, deluded impulses into wisdom, and egotism to compassion. Buddhism begins with individuals deciding to take responsibility for their own individual lives, reforming first themselves and their immediate surroundings and relations, and then gradually extending their wisdom, courage and compassion into a wider sphere.
