I have been living in Las Vegas for 9 years now, & have built many meaningful & deep connections w some of the most amazing people of SGI-​Las Vegas. Nichiren Buddhism is a philosophy that has changed my perspective on life forever. being connected to a network of people who genuinely & actively root for the happiness of others, & are bold enough to take responsibility of the fact that the actions we take has an effect on our lives & humanity as a whole (good & bad!) makes this adventure called life that much more exciting & amazing!

I found the SGI in 2 years ago and since then my life has changed dramatically for the better.
The practice is simple and for anyone who is looking to find the fundamental joy in their life.
To be surrounded by such positive, encouraging, happy people will help you find your inner peace and open the endless possibilities that this life has to offer.

I was in search of peace of mind and to settle some underlying issues with my life and found it all here! I was welcomed with open arms and met some of the most incredible people! I would suggest to anyone to stop by and see what Buddhism is all about.

When I first came to this Buddhist Center a little over a year ago, I did not know what to expect. I already knew about Buddhism since I studied it for a few weeks in college, so some of the terminology I learned while going here was already ingrained in my brain. The weekly introduction meetings are great meetings to attend and there are many other meetings, both at this center and in local neighborhoods, that are all great to attend.
The people are very nice and welcoming. I feel like I can be myself when I’m at SGI. The Nichiren Buddhist philosophy that they follow was very similar to my belief system before I because a member, so I had no problem creating a connection to this organization. There is no judging here, everyone is welcome to come. If you’re the kind of person who is looking for a life philosophy that can be applied to every day life, this is the place to go!

A beautiful new building and great people. The SGI-​USA is a wonderful organization that promotes peace, justice, and understanding. The SGI USA is a place you can differently visit and spend some time relaxing and learn about buddhism.

My second home filled with my second family. I became a member September ’13 and have completely changed my life for the better.
This is the place to be on Wednesday and Saturdays for Buddhism 101.
It is a very clean facility. I wish the bookstore was bigger. The people inside are the realist and kindest people you will ever come across.

Being out here from Denver for a bit i Decided to check out the Vegas Chapter. Well first the doors were locked :(I walk around and run into Larry. Hes in the back pulling weeds. AWESOME. We introduce ourselves and he opens the doors for me. I tell him im from the Denver chapter and he welcomes me with open arms. Immediately i felt like ive been attending this one forever. Its been open about a Year and a half. It was built with the environment in mind and is very green. The Bookstore was closed but i peered in and although this one is smaller it still has a lot of space. They used it well.
They have a office for your use, and a Main Room to chant, and a over flow room. Then 2 other rooms that double as conference rooms and have smaller gohonzon’s in them as well. We talked for a while and gave me some names of the people whos district ill be in. And he wondered back outside to finish landscaping while i chanted for a bit. I said my Goodbyes and went about my way until Sunday.
I even found out the history about how this Buddhist center was built and will be the basis for new SGI centers.

Nice place. Ultimately, probably not for me, but everyone I met was super friendly and helpful. They all took a lot of time to help me out. Thanks Marco!

This is the most welcoming and diverse religious group I’ve found in Las Vegas. I use the term «religious» loosely because many, including myself would argue that Buddhism is more of a philosophy for life and well being. Much of Buddhism does not fall under the general «religion» rules. No prosthelytizing, no supernatural beliefs or dogma and no belief in a «heaven and hell» or all-​knowing higher power.
The SGI-​USA Buddhist Center focuses on a particular brand of Buddhism known as Soka-​Gakkai, which is the most established and followed form of Buddhism in the United States. I was told that the President of the global organization donated some of his personal money to cover much of the costs of construction because he felt the Las Vegas area was a crucial place to have a presence.
I went to the community center a few months back to check it all out. Luckily I got to see one of the monthly valley-​wide meetings that everyone attends. You’re likely to hear a lot of chanting, perhaps a video from an SGI presidential address in Japan, and lots of people talking about how Buddhism has improved their lives. What struck me most is the diversity. You’ll find people from all ages, races, and walks of life. No formal dress code. Just come as you are.
There are plenty of volunteers who are there to explain SGI Buddhism to newcomers. Much of the day-​to-​day and weekly experiences involve attending smaller meetings with people in your neighborhood, often hosted at a member’s home. I haven’t been back much since I’m still exploring other forms of Buddhism. But those who are interested will find this as an excellent starting point.

SGI-​USA Buddhist Center has moved from Jones with a brand new location! SGI is a Buddhist network that actively promotes Peace, Culture and Education through personal change and social contribution. It’s worth checking out!

If you have a interest in Buddhism and don’t know anyone who is Buddhist or just want to experience this first hand. This is the most welcoming group of people you will ever meet. They are willing to explain the Buddhist practice to you one on one or within a group. There are meetings that take place throughout the valley so if this is to far to go to call them they will help you get teamed up with someone in your neighborhood which is nice. They also have a website that explains the practice as well but I must say you have to experience this first hand. Hearing the discussion and interacting with someone first hand is the best way to truly understand this practice.
