"Continuation" is what's important.
It's through continuously 

and steadily practicing our faith
for the sake of the happiness 

of our friends and 

for achieving kosen-rufu
that we elevate 

our own life condition and

unfold a greater life state.
Patiently and unceasingly, 

let's continue to move forwards!

"Even though the Soka Gakkai's founder and first president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi was unjustly arrested and imprisoned, his faith remained unshaken. During his 16 month incarceration, he wrote to his family: "The hardships we are undergoing now are small and inconsequential compared to those encountered by the Daishonin."* and in his personal copy of the Daishonin's writings he had marked the passage from "The Opening of the Eyes," "Here I will make a great vow" (WND-1, 280), with double underlining and written "Great Vow" in large red characters in the margin.

"Our founding spirit lies in making a vow.

"No matter what the circumstances, Mr Makiguchi never abandon the vow he made on founding our organisation – a vow to bring happiness and peace to all humankind. However fiercely the storms of adversity assailed him, he continued to advance bravely and vigourously, driven by the firm conviction that they were "no more than dust before the wind" (cf. WND – 1, 280)."

Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Keeping Our Founding Spirit Alive Forever, from the November 16th issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2021.

* Translated from Japanese. Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, Makiguchi Tsunesaburo Zenshu (Collected Writings of Tsunesaburo Makiguchi), vol.10 (Tokyo: Daisanbunmei-sha, 1987), p.278.

"In a letter of encouragement to his disciple Nichimyo, whose seeking spirit in faith continued to burn bright even amid great hardship, Nichiren Daishonin writes: 

'Strengthen your resolve [in faith] more than ever… Blue dye comes from indigo, but when something is repeatedly dyed in it, the colour is better than that of the indigo plant. The Lotus Sutra remains the same, but if you repeatedly strengthen your resolve, your colour, [the brilliance you radiate] will be better than that of others, and you will receive more blessings than they do.' (WND – 1, 615)

"Our Buddhist faith and practice enable us to open the way to happiness no matter what our circumstances. If we strengthen our faith more than ever, particularly when times are difficult, we can bring forth endless courage and wisdom."

-- TO MY FRIENDS --

Please be careful

of snow and ice on the ground

due to lower temperatures

in the early morning!

Because temperatures will rise

as the day goes by,

be prepared for 

large fluctuations in temperature

and make sure to 

take care of your health!

Buddhism primarily concerns itself with victory or defeat, while secular authority is based on the principle of reward and punishment. For this reason, a Buddha is looked up to as the Hero of the World, while a king is called the one who rules at his will.

"In a 1970 interview published by the Mainichi Newspaper (one of Japan's leading daily newspapers), British historian Arnold J. Toynbee (1889-1975) replied to questions from Japanese readers. It was a few years before my dialogue with him (which took place in 1972-73). In that interview, a reader asked what the world's suffering children could turn to for spiritual support and sustenance. Dr. Toynbee replied that all human beings, whether rich or poor, faced the same sufferings — mental and physical pain, the inevitability of death, the loss of loved ones and so on. These sufferings are part of the essence of human existence, he said, asserting his belief that it was religion that could relieve them. He then added that by religion, he didn't mean doctrines or rights, but rather love and consideration for the well-being of fellow human beings. Without following and believing in some form of religion that enables people to liberate themselves from the fetters of the ego, he concluded, life becomes difficult to endure for everyone.*

"In our dialogue, Dr. Toynbee also stressed the importance of establishing respect for human dignity, which he said can only come about when compassion and love govern people's actions."**

"The Daishonin also writes: 'Were it not for them [all living beings], one would find it impossible to make the vow to save innumerable living beings' (WND – 1, 43). He goes so far as to say that we owe a profound debt to the people of the world who are suffering, for they are the reason we make a vow to lead others to enlightenment and give our whole to realising it.

"The principle of 'leaving no one behind' underlies the United Nations Sustainable Development goals (SDGs) that global society is working together to achieve. It resonates with the spirit of compassion exemplified by the bodhisattva vow to free all people from suffering."

"The commitment to relieving the suffering of all, to dedicating oneself to the happiness of humanity – establishing this compassionate spirit in one's heart is the first step on the path to attaining Buddhahood.

"Sharing Nichiren Buddhism is a challenge to defeat the ignorance inherent in both our own and others' lives and together elevate our life state to reveal our innate enlightened nature. The term shakubuku, often used to refer to propagation in Nichiren Buddhism, originally has the meaning of 'strict refutation.' In essence, however, it represents the intense spiritual struggle involved in vanquishing fundamental ignorance that is the ultimate source of all misery. Shakabuku is another name for dialogue based on compassion and friendship."

definitely turns into a 

glorious "spring."
With great conviction 

in the Mystic Law in our hearts,
by encouraging one another 

as fellow members,
let's confront any trial 

or hardship that we might face 

head on!

*"Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winter always turns to spring. Never, from ancient times on, has anyone seen or heard of winter turning back to autumn. Nor have we ever heard of a believer in the Lotus Sutra who turned into an ordinary person. The sutra reads, 'If there are those who hear the Law, then not a one will fail to attain Buddhahood.'"

"At the same time, our prayers directed towards sharing Nichiren Buddhism with others are prayers that set in motion an inner transformation. They conquer the fundamental ignorance* that is the root cause of all suffering and reveal our fundamental nature of enlightenment or Dharma nature.**

"As the Daishonin states: 'The element ku [meaning "merit"] in the word kudoku [benefit]…refers to the merit achieved by wiping out evil, while the element toku or doku [meaning "virtue"] refers to the virtue one acquires by bringing about good" (0TT, 148)."

* Fundamental ignorance: the most deeply rooted illusion inherent in life, said to give rise to all other illusions. The inability to see or recognise the ultimate truth of the Mystic Law, as well as the negative acts that arise from such ignorance.

** Fundamental nature of enlightenment, or Dharma nature: the unchanging nature inherent in all things and phenomena. It is identified with the fundamental Law itself, the essence of the Buddha is enlightenment, or ultimate truth and the Buddha nature inherent in life.

"When we broaden the focus of our prayers and chant for the lofty cause of kosen-rufu, this will also encompass all of our personal worries. Through the beneficial power of the Mystic Law, we can expand our state of life, transform our karma, and change our problems into invaluable treasures.

"Our prayers infused with a vow for kosen-rufu are what enable us to break through the shell of our lesser self that is dominated by suffering and lead a life based on our greater self. They are prayers of compassion that let us develop into people who can help others become happy, people who can contribute to world peace. They are prayers of courage that summon fourth the heart of the lion king within us. And they are prayers of joy that enable us always to forge ahead positively on the path of our human revolution."

"While facing great persecution, the Daishonin continued to pray for the happiness of all people. As he states, 'The Buddha mind is a mind of great pity and compassion' (0TT, 164).

"The heart of the daimoku of the Latter Day of the Law is 'great pity and compassion' that seeks to relieve the suffering of humankind.

"When we encounter problems and hardships, it's all too easy to become wrapped up in praying only for ourselves. But our state of life reflects what we pray for."

"The only way to fundamentally free people from suffering in this evil age is to activate their inherent Buddha nature by teaching them about Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and directly planting the seed for enlightenment in their lives. In other words, the teaching to be spread in the Latter Day is the Law of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, and the way to practice it is to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo oneself and teach others to do the same."

They are

 "like the sun and the moon."*
Brightly and powerfully,
 calmly and with confidence,
let's create value indomitably.

*Gosho: "The benefits of the former are like one drop of water, while the benefits of the daimoku are like the vast ocean. ... The benefits of the former are like the light of a firefly, while those of the daimoku are like the sun and the moon." - WND, Vol.2, page 1074

"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."

"'The term "daimoku" has two meanings: one indicates the daimoku of the Former and Middle Days of the Law, and the other indicates that of the Latter Day of the Law.*

"'During the Former Day of the Law, [the Indian Buddhist scholars] Bodhisattva Vasubandhu and Bodhisattva Nagarjuna chanted the daimoku, but they did this solely as a practice for themselves and went no further than that. In the Middle Day of the Law [the Chinese Buddhist teachers] Nan-yueh** and T'ien-t'ai likewise chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo; they did so as a practice for their own benefit, but they did not expound it widely for others. These examples may be called the daimoku and meditative practice.

"'Now, however, we have entered the Latter Day of the Law, and the daimoku that I, Nichiren, chant is different from that of earlier ages. This Nam-myoho-renge-kyo encompasses both practice for oneself and the teaching of others. It's five characters are the five major principles of name, essence, quality, function and teaching.'*** 

- (WND –2, 986: "On the Receiving of the Three Great Secret Laws")****

"This passage from the Daishonin's writing 'On the Receiving of the Great Secret Laws teaches the nature of the practice of daimoku, or chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, in the Latter Day of the Law.

"The Buddhist teachers who advocated the Lotus Sutra in the Former and Middle Days of the Law chanted daimoku for their own benefit, but did not teach it to others, the Daishonin says. In contrast, the daimoku he established involves not only practice for oneself. It is the practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo both for oneself and for others, the way to relieve the suffering of all humankind in the Latter Day of the Law."

* The time after Shakyamuni's death is divided into three periods known as the Former, Middle and Latter Days of the Law.

** Nan-yueh: The teacher of T'ien-t'ai.

*** Five major principles of name, essence, quality, function and teaching: the five viewpoints from which T'ien-t'ai interprets the Lotus Sutra in his treatise, The Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra. "Name" signifies the meaning of the title of a sutra. "Essence" signifies the ultimate principle of a sutra. "Quality" indicates the principal doctrines of a sutra. "Function" indicates the benefit and power of the sutra. And "Teaching" refers to the position and influence of a sutra with respect to other sutras.

**** Addressed to Ota Jomyo (1222-83), "On the Receiving of the Three Great Secret Laws" explains the Three Great Secret Laws, which are the core principles of Nichiren Daishonin's teaching. They are: the object of devotion of the essential teaching, the daimoku of the essential teaching and the sanctuary of the essential teaching.
