It's when we have challenged great difficulties
that our true capabilities and talents

"It goes without saying that the aim of kosen-rufu is not expanding the influence of a particular Buddhist school. Ours is a grassroots movement, based on the Lotus Sutra's philosophy of the dignity of life and respect for all people, that aims to achieve world peace and the happiness of humanity. It is a spiritual struggle, grounded in dialogue, to bring people together, build networks of hope and good among global citizens, and thereby actualise the ideal of a peaceful global human family."
