"Members are studying the Daishonin's writing 'Winter Always Turns to Spring.' It contains the passage from the Expedient Means (2nd) chapter of the Lotus Sutra: 'If there are those who hear the Law, then not a one will fail to attain Buddahood' [LSOC2,75] (WND-1, 536).
"These words express the spirit to help every single person become happy. Here we find the teaching of hope that the world so earnestly yearns for and that enables all people to reveal their inherent dignity and potential.
"Studying the basics of Nichiren Buddhism develops our spiritual awareness as global citizens and contributes to expanding the resilience of all humankind."
The Eternal Citadel of Soka, Pursuing the Great Way of Practice and Study, from 10th June 2018 issue of the Seikyo Shinbun, translation released Aug. 2018
