“Buddhist study,” SGI President Ikeda says, “provides us with a great philosophy that serves as a compass to traverse the stormy and perilous seas of life. The more solid our foundation in Buddhist study, the stronger our faith will grow” (Dec. 9, 2005, World Tribune, p. 2).
On Sept. 29, members and guests throughout the country can further solidify their understanding of the basics of Nichiren Buddhism by taking part in the SGI-USA online Introductory Exam.
