Our Mission is perfectly defined through our “Members’ Vow”, which was originally created by Japanese Youth members many years ago. Today, every member of Rissho Kosei-kai joyfully upholds this Vow:
Members’ Vow:
We members of Rissho Kosei-kai
Take refuge in the Eternal Buddha Shakyamuni
And recognize in Buddhism a true way of liberation,
Under the guidance of our revered founder, Nikkyo Niwano.
In the spirit of lay Buddhists,
We vow to perfect ourselves
Through personal discipline and leading others
And by improving our knowledge and practice of the faith,
And we pledge ourselves to follow the bodhisattva way
To bring peace to our families, communities, and countries and to the world.
