"Let us once again keep these words deeply in mind: 'A person of wisdom is not one who practices Buddhism apart from worldly affairs' (WND–1, 1121).
"This troubled saha world* in which we dwell is indeed a realm mired in suffering. But it is by summoning the courage to reach out to those who are suffering, bringing forth the compassion and wisdom of Buddhism and actually contributing to others happiness that we become genuine people of wisdom. That is the proud way of life of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth. The living Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin aims to send a steady stream of such individuals into society."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World. [69] Advancing Our Movement by Demonstrating the Principles of "Faith Equals Daily Life" and "Buddhism Is Manifested in Society," A Teaching of Active Engagement in Society, January 2021 issue of Daibyaku Renge Study Journal, translation released October 2021.
* Saha world: This world, which is full of suffering. Often translated as the world of endurance. In Sanskrit, saha means the Earth; it derives from a root meaning "to bear" or "to endure." For this reason, in the Chinese versions of Buddhist Scriptures, saha is rendered as endurance. In this context, the saha world indicates a world in which people must endure suffering.
