"'It [the Lotus Sutra] leads one person in the realm of hell, one person in the realm of hungry spirits, and thus one person in each of the nine realms of existence to Buddhahood, and thereby the way is opened for all living beings to attain Buddhahood. The situation is like the joints in a piece of bamboo: if one joint is ruptured, then all the joints will split.'
- From "Letter to Horen" (WND-1, 512).

"One person's all-out efforts can break through existing limits. One person's success in changing their karma is a source of hope for all. One person's victory over great odds can give courage to future generations. 

"I hope you will create a fresh groundswell of development through leading by example and inspiring others to follow suit. Please value each person you meet, win their hearts, and help them form a connection with Buddhism.

"One person's breakthrough can open the way for others. One resolute step forwards can positively transform the entire situation. Always remember that the unwavering prayers and efforts of one self-reliant individual can set in motion an unstoppable momentum for victory."

Fresh from Firenze, Italy!...

A translation of President Ikeda's 
"Words of the Week" 
published in the Seikyo Shimbun 
and more.

July 25th - 31st, 2016
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
It's through taking on the challenges 
in our immediate vicinity that
our human revolution begins.
By doing a truly vibrant gongyo 
and chanting as much 
powerful daimoku as we can,
let's again today advance one more step.
Let's achieve a new record for ourselves 
with a fresh approach 
to the challenges we now face.

"Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

"The most distinguishing characteristic of Nichiren Buddhism is its emphasis on kosen-rufu—the widespread propagation of the Mystic Law. 
"It is a teaching that urges us to dedicate ourselves to spreading the Mystic Law, the universal law of life, throughout the world and realising happiness and peace for all humanity, because this is the mission for which we were born into this world and the path to our own happiness as well. 
"In Nichiren Buddhism, therefore, we practice for both ourselves and others. We strive in our Buddhist practice not just to gain the benefits of the Law ourselves, but to share the teachings with others and introduce them to the practice so that they, too, can gain the same benefits.  
"The Daishonin states: 'You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. . . . Teach others to the best of your ability, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase' (WND-1, 386). Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and sharing the teachings of Nichiren Buddhism with others are the two wheels of our Buddhist practice."
