--- DAILY GOSHO ---

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin States that 'there should be no discrimination… be they men or women' (WND–1, 385). This declaration of gender equality in 13th century Japan shines as a beacon in the annals of human history. In other words, every single person who embraces the Gohonzon and chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo regardless of gender identity or expression, can absolutely become happy.

"That's why it is important not only to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ourselves, but to also teach others to do the same. That is what is meant by practice for oneself and others. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is a practice open to all people, no matter who they are, what their background is, or where they're from."
 
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! Building a Happy, Peaceful World, June 2020 issue of the Daibyakurenge - Monthly Soka Gakkai study journal, translation released April 2021.
