Buddhist Study Exams Held

On October 26, SGI-Cambodia held an introductory level Buddhist study exam at six locations across the country. The exam covered the basics of Nichiren Buddhism, and Nichiren’s writings “The Three Kinds of Treasure” and “Great Evil and Great Good.” One participant, who prepared for the exam together with her family, said that one key takeaway from the experience was the value of respecting others’ thoughts and feelings.

In October and November, the Eighth All-Africa Buddhist Exam was held in 32 countries across Africa. The exam consisted of 37 multiple-choice questions and a free-response question, allowing participants to share their reflections and resolutions. Buddhist study exams were also held in other countries and territories including Austria, Hong Kong, Macau, New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan.
