Published monthly in nineteen languages, Living the Lotus—Buddhism in Everyday Life is a newsletter that aims to help people around the world apply Buddhism more easily in their daily lives. The title of this newsletter conveys our aspiration to practice the teachings of the Lotus Sutra in daily life in an imperfect world, enriching our lives by making them even more meaningful, so that we can live life like the unblemished lotus flowers blooming in a muddy pond. The contents of the newsletter vary according to language, but generally include an essay by Rissho Kosei-kai founder Nikkyo Niwano, a monthly message from President Nichiko Niwano, a member’s Dharma Journey talk, a summary and key points of a chapter of the Threefold Lotus Sutra, and a column by the Director of Rissho Kosei-kai International.
