For years, the Sacramento Nichiren Buddhist Church has shared a collection of 21 brochures and pamphlets from Nichiren Shu. To help people dive deeper into these teachings, I am working on a new Interactive Flashcard Study Tool.
Developed using Google’s NotebookLM, these flashcards offer a way to engage with the Nichiren Shu brochures and pamphlets. Unlike standard AI, NotebookLM works strictly within the 21 specific brochures provided to it. This ensures that every answer is accurate, faithful to the source material, and free from outside interference.
- Deep Insights: Each card includes a question, a concise answer, and a detailed explanation.
- Direct Sourcing: Every card provides a link back to the original brochure for further reading.
- Global Reach: The tool is available in Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, French, German, and Italian.

Since this tool is still in its prototype phase, I would love feedback. I’m particularly interested in the accuracy of the foreign language versions. The translations were created by Google’s Gemini Pro.
Eventually this will be embedded into the Sacramento Nichiren Buddhist Church website. I have an example of how it might look on this page.
