Welcome to the SGI-USA Jefferson City, Missouri Group homepage. The SGI-USA is a part of the Soka Gakkai International, an international lay organization practicing the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin.

Nichiren Buddhism is based upon the Lotus Sutra, the teachings of the first historically recognized Buddha, (known as Siddhartha Gautama or Shakyamuni Buddha).  The Lotus Sutra, unlike provisional Buddhist teachings, declares that all living beings have the potential to attain enlightenment (or Buddhahood).  Nichiren Buddhism is a humanistic philosophy which recognizes the value of the individual and encourages us towards peace and happiness in this lifetime.

The SGI-USA Jefferson City Group informally meets monthly to study, talk, and practice together.  If you would like more information about SGI-USA , please use the links provided below.
