Part of the “Rissho Ankoku Ron” (Treatise on establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land) presented to the imperial court on July 16, 1260.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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published as a collection of study materials for the newly-instituted Study programme in 2003.\u00a0 These have been superceded by study information available from the SGI-UK website’s Introductory Study Materials<\/a> section, which also has other useful resources; and from the Soka Gakkai International’s Resource Center – Introductory Materials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
