Rissho Kosei-Kai Buddhist Center of San Francisco

Rissho Kosei-Kai Buddhist Church of San Francisco in Pacifica, CA, opened its doors in September 1979, establishing one of the earliest institutionalized Buddhist presences in the then 20-year-old Pacifica. As a branch of Tokyo-based Rissho Kosei-kai Buddhism, the church follows the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, emphasizing human respect, spiritual growth, and peace for all. With a congregation of around 150 Pacifica residents, the church, led by Minister Kazuhiko Nagamoto, focuses on individual transformation to influence community change. While not heavily involved in outreach or evangelism, the church participates in local events like the annual Fogfest and hosts an annual rummage sale in August.
