I'm New - Start Here

If you're visiting for the first time, this page gives you a simple path: learn the basics, attend an intro meeting, and connect with local support.


Five steps to get started

  1. Watch or attend an introductory meeting (slow Gongyo for beginners).
  2. Learn the rhythm of Gongyo and how to chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo.
  3. Chant daily and keep a simple record of your prayers and results.
  4. Connect with support (local group or regional Zoom Gongyo).
  5. When ready, ask about Gojukai (conferral of the precepts).
