Kōsen-rufu (広宣流布), a phrase found in the Japanese translation of the Buddhist scripture Lotus Sutra, is informally defined to as "world peace through individual happiness.
[5][7] According to the Soka Gakkai and Nipponzan-Myōhōji, Nichiren stressed the ideal of achieving kōsen-rufu in Buddhist practice because he felt that the quests for personal enlightenment and the peace and well-being of the entire society were inseparable.
The Soka Gakkai labels this as "human revolution" (ningen kakumei) and Risso Koseikai calls it "reformation of the mind" (kokoro no kaizō).
From their perspective of "Buddhism is daily life," activities at home, school or the workplace become part of the Buddhist practice, opportunities for growth and are means to demonstrate the validity of the Lotus Sutra.
In addition to its global footprint its members meet locally in "Dharma circles" (hōza) for problem-solving counseling based on the group's teachings.
Whereas the Soka Gakkai and Risshō Kōsei Kai attempt to create change by working within the system, Nipponzan-Myohoji engages in non-violent civil protest on behalf of disarmament, human rights, social justice, and environmental protection.
