It is written in Buddhist lore that the udumbara flower blooms only once every three thousand years.
WHO WE ARE
WHO WE ARE

In 1844 Henry David Thoreau translated a passage from the French
translation of the Lotus Sutra (Saddharmapundarikasutra) for Dial
magazine. With Thoreau's translation and commentary America
commenced its dialog on Buddhism.

UDUMBARA FOUNDATION is a non-profit, Buddhist foundation
following the tradition of  Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism, believing in
Namu-myoho-renge-kyo as the true Law and  Nichiren Daishonin as
the True Buddha.  The foundation publishes  The Middle Way, a
newsletter which transmits the teachings of Shoshin-kai (True Faith
Awakening) priests of Nichiren Daishonin's true Buddhism.

This site is dedicated to presenting a discourse on True Buddhism. We
respect all people for their inherent Buddha nature and hope this site
will open the eyes of all who visit it, and aid in leading you to your
enlightenment.
Located in the U.S., Udumbara Foundation is an affiliate of Shoshin-kai temple Sanbo-in of Fukuyama City, Japan.

This site was launched September 11, 2002.
I respect everyone deeply. I do not despise anyone, not even a little, or look down on anyone
with contempt, because everyone has the capacity to become a Buddha of
Namu-myoho-renge-kyo, if they believe in  Namu-myoho-renge-kyo and practice.
