Are you hitting some blocks in life, engaging in difficult situations, or simply feel happiness is far away ?

 

Or, have you ever wondered about the mysterious nature of "lives", want to understand more and to empower yourself in the spiritual level ?

 

In this workshop, we will introduce a useful spiritual practice that everyone can master and is very beneficial.

 

We will start with a short introduction to Nichiren Buddhism, a sect of Buddhism that is directly related to our daily lives. Then we will learn about chanting, a spiritual practice that invokes our deepest sense of consciousness, through which we can elevate our life conditions, be more empowered to face any problems, achieve our dreams and to attain absolute happiness.

 

Welcome everyone of all backgrounds to come to this workshop.

Quotes

 

"We practice this Buddhism to make our prayers and dreams come true and to achieve the greatest possible happiness. The purpose of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism is to enable us to realize victory. The fact that our prayers are answered proves the correctness of this teaching."
