Myoho-Ji will offer services and Dharma Talks in Second Life. This will allow those who live far from a Nichiren Shu Temple the ability to come to Temple for services and also study. Ministers from Nichiren Order of North America will be performing these services in different timezones of North America. The calendar reflects service times and times that minister have committed to be in SL for questions and guidence. The standard time zone for SL is Pacific Standard Time. Please check the calendar carefully as some of our ministers are on Pacific time, Central time and Eastern time.

* If you do not have a service book in RL you can download one in SL. The Daily Service or Shodaigyo are on the back wall of the Temple. Simply touch the Liturgy Book or Shodaigyo Card and you will recieve a notecard with the services on them. Services will be followed by a short Dharma Talk.

Events for Myoho-ji are also posted on the Kannonji Retreat website.
