-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's not our circumstances
that determine
our happiness or unhappiness.
It depends on our life state
It depends on our life state
and inner resolve.
Let's develop the type of life state
Let's develop the type of life state
that cannot be defeated
or destroyed by
any kind of difficulty,
any kind of difficulty,
no matter what,
and subsequently savour
"absolute happiness"* in our lives!
*"Absolute happiness is something that doesn't change with time; it's eternal and unaffected by external factors, welling forth from the depths of one's life. It is not a transitory thing like worldly status and fortune or some other fleeting satisfaction."

"In terms of our Buddhist practice, to 'cast off the transient and reveal the true' means to awaken the awareness that we are heirs to the Buddha's eternal vow and begin our own dauntless efforts for people's happiness. It starts with one person confidently setting forth on the same great path the Buddha vowed to walk. When such deeply committed individuals unite and launch a movement to 'establish the correct teaching for the peace of the land,' they will build a Buddha realm, a realm of security and happiness for all. This is the true meaning of 'casting off the transient and revealing the true' in Nichiren Buddhism."
