Buddhism

Presently the youth at our church are studying Buddhism. Part of the class curriculum involves visiting a place of worship so we helped transport several of the students to the Buddha Community Center for their World Peace Prayer Service. Listening to the congregation chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo in unison was intriguing although I perceived the actual service to be cultish, focussed primarily on the the admonishments of their president Daisaku Ikeda. Nevertheless, the worshipers were more than welcoming and the experience led to some lively discussions.
