A note from Michael: I’m so excited to share the practice of Nichiren Buddhism with you all! Though I was born into Buddhism, I have been seriously practicing since I was 18 years old, and continue to learn so many powerful things about my own life. I can’t wait to share! I’ll cover the basics of the origins of the practice, and how the practice works, and the mantra we chant "Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo” (I know tongue twister!) I’ll share a little bit about how I applied this in my own life to overcome various challenges. I’ll leave some time at the end so that you can ask any questions you want and I’ll do my very best to answer them. There are no silly questions, so please feel free to ask anything you’d like! Looking forward to seeing you all!
