Bloom And Bosworth Build Buddhist Retreat

Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth are so devoted to the teachings of Nichiren Buddhism they are planning to built a retreat in Malibu, California.

The couple claim they keep their relationship "solid" by chanting together and they have already built a Buddhist altar at Bloom's home in London.

The outdoor sanctuary includes a treasured scroll, plants, candles and books by the leader of Soka Gakkai International.

The couple follows the teachings of the group which promotes world peace and happiness through Nichiren Buddhism.
