for the sanctity of life
and at the same time share it with others
is indeed humanity's great hope.
Starting with our local community,

"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever."

"In 'The Selection of the Time,' the Daishonin states: 'It [the Latter Day of the Law] is a time when the whole land of Jambudvipa [the entire world] will without doubt be embroiled in quarrels and disputes' (WND-1, 550). In other words, ours is a time when conflict and violence fill the world. But that is also precisely the time, the Daishonin asserts, to widely spread the great, life-affirming teachings of Buddhism throughout the entire globe."
