The essays on basic elements of Nichiren Buddhism were originally published as a collection of study materials for the newly-instituted Study programme in 2003. These have been superceded by study information available from the SGI-UK website’s Introductory Study Materials section, which also has other useful resources; and from the Soka Gakkai International’s Resource Center – Introductory Materials.
The 2003/2004 introductory materials are listed in the table below. Also available are audio files for the Rhythm and Pronunciation of Gongyo, in a recitation led by first UK General Director Richard Causton.
