"Faith in Nichiren Buddhism does not teach passive reliance on some external power. Rather, through earnest prayer and serious effort, we can bring forth our true inner strength, our unique inherent potential. In so doing, we can improve and develop ourselves.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Faith in Nichiren Buddhism does not teach passive reliance on some external power. Rather, through earnest prayer and serious effort, we can bring forth our true inner strength, our unique inherent potential. In so doing, we can improve and develop ourselves.
"Of course, in reality, things often don't go as you might wish, and your prayers are not always immediately answered.
"You can liken this to digging tirelessly to unearth a precious treasure buried deep underground and hitting a boulder that prevents you from reaching it. If you give up at that point. You will never gain the treasure.
"To reach the infinitely precious treasure deep within the earth of your own life, you need to dig in the correct way – that is, to persevere patiently in correct Buddhist practice. As long as you continue digging, you will acquire strength and wisdom, dynamically forward your life force and lead a positive, productive life."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, "The True Aspect of All Phenomena"—Take the Lead in Spreading the Philosophy of Respect for the Dignity of Life! June 2020 issue of the Daibyakurenge - Monthly Soka Gakkai study journal, translation released April 2021.
