Re: Lotus Buddhism, addiction & the 12 Steps
I am in AA myself and I have found that the practice of Nichiren Buddhism fits squarely into my 12 step based recovery. The basis of 12 step recovery is that the addict/alcoholic is spiritually sick and needs to become spiritually fit through prayer/meditation. Chanting daimoku and gongyo to the Goh...

Re: Links and references
I know it is run by an SGI member but the American Gongyo website is really helpful in learning pronunciation and recitation of both Gongyo and Daimoku.

Re: Omamori Gohonzon
Thank you guys for your replies. I appreciate the feedback. I missed having any Gohonzon to chant to as it’s been some time since I broke up with my ex. I’m glad he has a Gohonzon to chant to and practice with. I’m confident I’ll eventually get another normal/regular sized Gohonzon soon and all the ...

Omamori Gohonzon
I am currently an independent practitioner and I have recently acquired an Omamori Gohonzon privately from another practitioner. It is on it's way in the mail and I wanted to ask a few questions about it. First some background about me: I left SGI back in 2011 and have been practicing on my own ever...
