PL Kyodan

PL Kyodan is an international religion that developed from the Zen Buddhist culture of Japan early in the 20th century. PL teaches that "Life is art." We have been born to express our own unique individuality in everything we do - to create "art". To assist them in improving their lives and overcoming hardships such as sickness, misfortune, pain, etc., believers are taught why they have these problems and are guided in solving them.
