"Wholeheartedly treasure
each person."
This is the very spirit of Soka.
Keeping our composure

let's continue to support our friends.
All without slacking our deep chanting!

"The dragon king's daughter declares to Bodhisattva Wisdom Accumulated and others in the assembly: 'Watch me attain Buddhahood!' (LSOC 12, 227).
"The scene in which she attains Buddhahood, just as she is, after making this bold declaration calls to mind Soka Gakkai members who have battled and overcome illness and other hardships. They are proudly and confidently demonstrating the dignity of their own lives through their personal struggles with their karma or destiny. This drama of transforming karma into mission is proof of the greatness of Nichiren Buddhism.
"The sutra states that the dragon king's daughter then 'expounded the wonderful law for all living beings everywhere in the ten directions' (LSOC 12, 228). And when those present witnessed her acting on her vow, 'their hearts were filled with great joy and all from a distance paid reverent obeisance "(LSOC 12, 228).
"The key is to have 'hearts filled with great joy.' The brilliance of one person's life brings joy to those around them. One light in the dark can at once spark hope that brightens everything."
