About FNCC
The
Florida Nature
and Culture Center was built as a facility for SGI-USA members
to refresh their spirit and determination to practice Nichiren Daishonin's
Buddhism. As SGI President Daisaku Ikeda commented: "There should be
time for sleeping and time for chanting. People should leave energized and
filled
with hope."
The FNCC is located on 125 acres of restored wetlands surrounding a lake. Here
amid the Live Oak trees and Sabal Palms native to the Florida landscape, discussions
on philosophy and everyday life experience take place in a relaxing atmosphere.
