"Rissho Kosei Kai was founded on March 5, 1938 by Nikkyo Niwano and Myoko Naganuma, both former members of the Buddhist sect Reiyukai. Rev. Niwano met Ms. Naganuma while he was engaged in missionary work with Reiyukai and the two became close friends. In 1938, they attended a Reiyukai meeting in which its president made remarks that lectures and study of the Lotus Sutra were out of date. After hearing that and consulting with each other, they determined that they could not support such ideas and left Reiyukai. It was then that they decided to form a new organization. The first meeting was held at Mr. Niwano's house and some 30 people joined at that time. " (from Wikipedia) #44518 $35
