"Our aim is to actualise an ideal society where personal happiness and social prosperity go hand in hand, which of course includes harmonious families. The key to building a sound and healthy family life is for each person, based on the Mystic Law, to make efforts to establish a strong and secure life for themselves while also contributing to the prosperity of society and world peace.
"Not all who take faith in Nichiren Buddhism have their whole families start practising with them. Sometimes, people encounter intense opposition from family members. But such opposition is just a test of faith, and is certain to be resolved once one has carried out one's human revolution and developed into a truly fine member of society and of one's family."
SGI Newsletter No. 9327, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, Chapter 15: "Faith for a Harmonious Family," 15.1 Our Own Human Revolution Is the Key to Achieving Family Harmony, from the November 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 17th Dec., 2015
