Nichiren Beikoku Sangha Association

The NICHIREN SHU BEIKOKU BETSUIN SANGHA ASSOCIATION is a loose affiliation for the support and spreading of Nichiren's Buddhism in the Greater Los Angeles area as well as throughout the world via the World Wide Web.

Proceeds generated by our publications are marked for Information Technology hardware and software for the Los Angeles Nichiren Buddhist Temple, as well as fees incurred in bringing our Temple to the World Wide Web. Your support is greatly appreciated.

 
The Logo for our association is based on our faith as a whole as promoted by Nichiren Shonin.
