"Everything in life has meaning. If our lives were perfect, we couldn't demonstrate the greatness of Buddhism or life's underlying power. The Bodhisattvas of the Earth exemplify the principle of 'voluntarily assuming the appropriate karma.'"*
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! A Life Dedicated to the People, June 2020 issue of the Daibyakurenge - Monthly Soka Gakkai study journal, translation released April 2021.
* Voluntarily assuming the appropriate karma: This refers to bodhisattvas who, though qualified to receive the pure rewards of Buddhist practice, relinquish them and make a vow to be reborn in an impure world in order to save living beings.
