Risshō Kōsei Kai (立正佼成会); until June 1960, 大日本立正交成会 (Dai-Nippon Risshō Kōsei Kai) is a Japanese Buddhist religious movement founded in 1938 by Nikkyō Niwano and Myōkō Naganuma. Risshō Kōsei Kai is organized as a lay Buddhist movement, which branched off from the older Reiyūkai, and is primarily focused around the Lotus Sutra and veneration of ancestors.
The name of the organization can be translated as "Association for Establishing the Correct [Dharma] and Harmonious Achievement" or "Society for the Realization of Righteousness and Harmony."
