Hi Libby

I saw your post and wanted to let you know that I practice a particular form of Buddhism known as Nichiren Buddhism. It originates from Japan and is based upon the enlightenment gained by the original Buddha. There is a massive grass roots organisation attached to it called SGI which you can join (if you wish, of course) and it runs many different events, groups and meetings in over 192 different countries and territories. I’m not sure where you’re based in the world but I’m part of SGI-UK and we have local community groups that we participate in including study meetings, discussion groups and chanting. The practice is about being happy by developing our courage, compassion and wisdom by chanting, studying and attending meetings and activities. If this interests you in any way, please do let me know and I can provide more information and point you in the right direction to find a local group in your area. Best wishes! Laura 🙂
