The Three Treasures and Our Way of Practice
We follow the Buddha’s wisdom, live by the Dharma of the Lotus Sutra, and grow together in the Sangha through compassionate dialogue.
The Buddha — Shakyamuni Buddha
We venerate Shakyamuni Buddha, whose enlightened wisdom illuminates the true nature of all beings.
The Buddha, or more accurately the Eternal Buddha, is Life as the source of all things, that is, the great Life through which all living beings come into existence and live. As we progress through a variety of experiences in our life, both joyful and sorrowful, the Buddha guides us to improve ourselves and leads us to true liberation (enlightenment).
The Buddha's boundless compassion is within everything that happens. When you take sincere refuge in the Buddha, you start to see the true value inherent in all phenomena.
Then you can gather courage and find the power to overcome any difficulty.
The Dharma — The Lotus Sutra
We study and uphold the Lotus Sutra, revealing that all people possess the Buddha-nature and can attain enlightenment.
