Currently, there are about 800 believers here including me. I can say the number is really small, but i think faith is not based on number or how many believe on a particular religion, it is the qualities in life, the attitude we gain, how deep is one's faith really counts here... Our head temple is at Taisekeji... i hope i can get there via Tozan in the year 2009 for the biggest occasion oncoming.. ^_^ peace out!

It sounds interesting. I just encountered this word here with you. Faith is the most important thing. No matter what religion you belong to, as long as long you have faith in it, you will be saved.

this is new to me. indeed, religion is a way of life, so they say. i think God, having given us freedom, wants us to use it wisely. if your religion does you great things and positive effects, then i can say that you use your freedom wisely. God must be smiling somewhere and He is happy for you.

Faith is not based on number really. This is my first time to hear such group. Nichiren Shoshu believers - I don't know if you also believe in God; but if ever you believe in God, it is the Holy Bible which should be the basis of your religion, the doctrines and teachings therein, and not the doctrines and teachings of man such as Nicheren Shoshu if ever he is a man.

I do respect your opinion, but do respect mine. You've never been into our religion so you don't understand this. We have our own plans in life.. do yours, i'll do mine.^_^ peace out!

It sounds foreign to me. What does your religion preach? It sounds like a buddhist or something like a Japanese Religion. I do believe that when it comes to religion it should not be the numbers that should be considered but the way people live their lives. If they are a cult or something then I wouldn't recommend it but if it preaches peace love and hope I don't question it whatever your source of your faith is for as long as it preaches those three values.

Yup! Theres actually no big differnce between all of these religions, what matters is if it can change your values in life positively, and deepen your faith. Thanks!

What made you join this religion? There must be something that it offers that you deemed lacking in other religions. Can you provide us a link of a good source of information about it?

It's the first time I hear about such a religion.
Can you enlighten about your religious concept and beliefs system.

It is a kind of Buddhism. it has three (3) essential elements, 'faith', 'practice', and 'study'. It is a good community of belief. As long as it is for good of the humanity then it is an ideal religion.
