SGI Buddhist Chanting
American University
SGI-USA is part of a global community-based network that practices the humanistic philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism centered on respect for the dignity of life. We are the most diverse Buddhist community in the United States.As members of the SGI, we are committed to dialogue and nonviolence based on the conviction that individual happiness and the realization of peace are inextricably linked. What is the way to genuine and lasting happiness? Buddhism teaches that we develop true happiness by bringing forth our inherent goodness, or Buddhahood, not only for our own well-being but also for the greater good of humanity. Our daily practice is centered around chanting Nam myoho renge kyo. Nichiren Buddhism offers a way for all of us to reveal our innate Buddhahood and actualize our limitless potential in this lifetime. Our weekly meetings provide a space for dialogue, chanting, sharing experiences and learning. Please join us Monday evenings at 7 PM in the Kay Spiritual Life Center Lounge.
