Buddhism In Action for Peace

How can we muster the courage to fulfill our potential? How can we foster hope in troubled times? How can we become empowered to take action for world peace?

These are some of the core questions at the hearth of Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism, a Mahayana tradition of Buddhism based on the Lotus Sutra and the writings of Nichiren Daishonin.
