"Bodhisattvas are known for making vows and taking personal action to fulfil them. Nichiren Daishonin states that 'the most important of the four universal vows[1] of bodhisattvas is the vow to save innumerable living beings' (cf. GZ, 846).[2]

"This means dedicating our lives to freeing people from the sufferings of birth and death and leading them to enlightenment. In accord with this lofty vow, we engage with people's sufferings head-on and strive to create value in society.
"There is no greater meaning or fulfilment in life than this. For helping others become happy is also the path to our own happiness.
