"All who are born must one day die. To what use, then, should we put the precious, limited time we have in this world?
"In 'Letter from Sado,' the Daishonin writes: '[Human beings] give their lives for shallow, worldly matters but rarely for the Buddha's precious teachings. Small wonder they do not attain Buddhahood' (WND-1, 301).
"Because our lives are so infinitely precious, how we live them is extremely important.
