ABOUT

IBC started in 2001 based on the teachings of the Lotus Sutra.
The purposes of the organization is;

1) To share the Buddha's teachings in English with people of any nationality, especially non-Japanese people living in Japan.

2) To offer a warm Buddhist community in which we can learn and practice the Buddha's wisdom in our daily lives.

3) To enrich our spirituality toward perfecting ourselves through participating in IBC Sunday Service and activities.


This blog grew out of talks between Nori Takahashi and Nick Ozuna.
We thought about ways to get people interested and communicate, and have an international online sangha. We talked in Jan 2008, and Takahashi started work on it in Feb.

This has grown into a rearrangement of the IBC homepage to make it more interactive.
We hope to create a better understanding of the Dharma through this site.
