"The German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) once said:

"'It is a great folly to hope that other men will harmonise with us…. For it is in conflict with natures opposed to his own that a man must collect his strength to fight his way through; and thus all our different sides are brought out and developed, so that we soon feel ourselves a match for every foe.*

"Those who make the effort to engage in dialogue with as many people as possible are victors in life. Our victory is determined by how much energy we put into caring for and supporting others. The more we form solid connections with diverse individuals and inspire them to work for kosen-rufu, the greater our own victory."

"When you take action for kosen-rufu, you shoulder a whole new set of challenges beside the ones you already face in daily life. You may at times find it hard or even painful.

"Nichiren Buddhism teaches that this saha world is a world of endurance. We must endure and live with strength. The source of such life force is chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. When you're sad, and when you're suffering, when you're happy and when you're enjoying yourself – keep chanting. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo enables us to transform our lives, turning earthly desires into enlightenment and suffering into joy."

"There is definitely 

something extraordinary in the way
in which winter and spring 

give way to each other."*
Steadfast, unwavering determination   

is what opens the door to victory.

Cheerfully and extensively, 

let's try to help 

as many people as possible
to form a connection with Buddhism 

and become eternally happy.
Remember, just as the Daishonin states,
"The wise will rejoice!"*

*"There is definitely something extraordinary in the ebb and flow of the tide, the rising and setting of the moon, and the way in which summer, autumn, winter, and spring give way to each other. Something uncommon also occurs when an ordinary person attains Buddhahood. At such a time, the three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat." -

and Four Devils"

"Just before his death, the Russian author, Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) called for his beloved youngest daughter, Alexandra, and dictated some notes to her. One important thing he mentioned at that time was that the more we unite or connect with others, the more we truly exist.* He wanted to have these words recorded for posterity.

"In the Soka Gakkai, this means engaging in dialogue, sharing the Diashonin's teachings with others and advancing kosen-rufu."

It is our unbending determination 

to overcome hardships
that enables us to break through

the self-imposed limitations 

we have.

with courage and diligence!

The first shi of the word shishi, or "lion" [which means "teacher"], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means "child"] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The "roar" is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison. The verb sa, "to make" or "to roar," should here be understood to mean to initiate or to put forth. It refers to the initiating of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in the Latter Day of the Law.

"The basics of our Buddhist practice are faith, practice and study. Faith means having faith in the Gohonzon. Practice is practice for ourselves and others, which includes not only chanting but also spreading the teachings and working for kosen-rufu. Study is studying Nichiren Daishonin's teachings. 

"Simply believing in the Gohonzon, chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and studying Buddhism are not enough. To correctly practice Nichiren Buddhism requires actions for kosen-rufu."

"Entering into the relation of teacher and lay supporter is the result of a bond that bridges the three existences. Never seek the three benefits of sowing, maturing, and harvesting from anyone else. These golden words cannot possibly be wrong: 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' and 'If one stays close to the teachers of the Law, one will speedily gain the way of enlightenment. By following and learning from these teachers one will see Buddhas as numerous as Ganges sands.'"

"Buddhism's law of cause and effect is the fundamental law of life that pervades the universe, and no one can escape it. Unaware of this, however, people tend to be preoccupied with immediate things, and that is the cause of human suffering.

"In light of the principle of cause and effect, the outcome of staying true to one's faith or betraying it is strict. We ordinary people find it difficult to understand this, but after 20 or 30 years, the difference becomes apparent.

"Though hardships occurred along the way, those who remained steadfast and diligent in their faith surmounted them and attained a state of great happiness. So please don't avoid making efforts or try and take the easy path, but live your lives with sincerity and single-minded dedication, convinced of the law of course and effect."

"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 

'Everywhere other than the capital of Tranquil Light is a realm of suffering. Once you leave the haven of inherent enlightenment, what is there to bring you joy? I pray that you will embrace the Mystic Law, which guarantees that people "will enjoy peace and security in their present, existence and good circumstances in future existences" [LSOC5, 136]. This is the only glory that you need to seek in your present lifetime, and is the action that will draw you towards Buddhahood in your next existence. Single-mindedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and urge others to to do the same; that will remain as the only memory of your present life in this human world.' (WND–1, 64)

"True joy is found in working for kosen-rufu, in taking action for our own and others' happiness.

"Nichiren Daishonin says that the Lotus Sutra is the great teaching of perpetual youth and eternal life (cf.WND–1, 413). Ageing and death will not be a source of suffering. As long as we keep the flame of faith alive, the fire of life force will forever burn brightly within us. Faith is the engine that enables us to live with great confidence, transcending the sufferings of birth and death, our hearts filled with hope to the very end."

Tomorrow is a Japanese press holiday to let those involved in producing and delivering a newspaper have a short rest. Therefore "Words of the Week" appears one day in advance of normal.

"The assembly 

on Holy Eagle Peak 

which continues in solemn state"
is indeed 

our SGI discussion meetings.*
We are all 

noble Bodhisattvas of the Earth.
Brimming with innate life force

from the infinite past,
let our voices ring out 

proving that Buddhism 

manifests itself in society!

*"Fellow members who have vowed to spread the Mystic Law from the distant past have gathered together here and now. That is the meaning of the words in The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings 'the assembly on Holy Eagle Peak which continues in solemn state and has not yet disbanded' (OTT, 135). The assembly on Eagle Peak is none other than our districts. That is why we move forwards together, sharing both our joys and sorrows." 

(ref. Ikeda Sensei's guidance, World Tribune, March 2020)

Sunday, February 12th, 2023
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."

"A passage from Nichiren Daishonin's treatise 'The Selection of the Time' that we read together moved and inspired us deeply: 'Those concerned about their next life would do better to be common people in this, the Latter Day of the Law, than to be mighty rulers, during the two thousand years of the Former and Middle Days of the Law' (WND–1, 544).

"It is a far greater honour to dedicate our lives to kosen-rufu—chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and voluntarily taking on hardships for that cause—as unheralded 'common people' in this corrupt age than to be 'mighty rulers' in the most glorious era."

let's offer warm caring words

Let's inspire fresh new

*In Japan, "Encouragement Week" is designated as the week before 'Zadankai - Discussion Meeting - Week' or a 'Satellite Broadcast of the Headquarters Leaders' Meeting' to do home visits and personal encouragement of each member.

**"On the other, it is to voice what one truly has in mind. Thus one's thoughts are expressed in one's voice. The mind represents the spiritual aspect, and the voice, the physical aspect. The spiritual aspect manifests itself in the physical. A person can know another's mind by listening to the voice."

"'Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winter always turns to spring. Never, from ancient times on, has anyone seen or heard of winter turning back to autumn. Nor have we ever heard of a believer in the Lotus Sutra, who turned into an ordinary [unenlightened] person. (WND–1, 536)

"Winter always turns to spring— this is an unchanging law of nature. Winter never turns back into autumn. In the same way, those who sincerely devote themselves to faith in the Mystic Law throughout their lives, will never remain deluded ordinary people. The Daishonin promises they will attain the life state of Buddhahood and triumphantly welcome a spring of happiness and victory."

"The Daishonin writes: 'You yourself, are a Thus Come One [a Buddha] who is originally enlightened and endowed with the three bodies'* (WND-1, 299-300). In other words, we ordinary people are complete and perfect Buddhas, lacking nothing. 

"This is the foundation of Soka humanism."

* Three bodies: The three bodies of the Buddha. Namely, the Dharma body, the reward body and the manifested body. The Dharma body is the fundamental truth, or law, to which a Buddha is enlightened. The reward body is the wisdom to perceive the Law. And the manifested body is the compassionate actions the Buddha carries out to lead people to happiness.

Nichiren Daishonin teaches,
"...  you have come to 

owe a debt of gratitude 

to all living beings.
And since this is so, 

you should help all of them 

to attain Buddhahood."*
Meeting with numerous people 

and having conversations 

full of joy and enthusiasm,

let's spread happiness 

by helping as many people 

as possible
to form a connection 

with Buddhism!

*"Third is the debt of gratitude to be paid to all living beings. If you stop to consider, you will realise that, at one time or another in the past, all men have been your father and all women, your mother. Thus, in the course of all the many lifetimes and existences you have lived through, you have come to owe a debt of gratitude to all living beings. And since this is so, you should help all of them to attain Buddhahood."

So long as a practitioner of the Lotus Sutra remains unwavering in faith, free of all false alliances, entrusting themselves wholeheartedly to the Lotus Sutra and practising in accordance with the Buddha's golden words, they will without fail be able to prevent disaster and prolong their life in this present existence, to say nothing of in the life to come. Splendid recompense will be theirs, and they will fulfil their great vow to broadly proclaim and propagate the Lotus Sutra.

"'Abutsu-bo is therefore the treasure tower itself, and the treasure tower is Abutsu-bo himself. No other knowledge is purposeful'(WND-1, 299).

"Here, the Daishonin tells Abutsu-bo, the letter's recipient, that each of us, just as we are, embody the Mystic Law, and that the treasure tower is none other than we who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. This is the conclusion of the Daishonin's teachings, which is why he states: 'No other knowledge is purposeful.'

"Essentially, we are the treasure tower and the supreme object of devotion. The Gohonzon is the clear mirror of life that enables us to reveal our inner treasure tower. As such, the treasure tower exists wherever we are, and we can transform that place into a Land of Eternally Tranquil Light.* We have nothing whatsoever to worry about."   

The New Human Revolution, Vol. 28, Great Path 4, translation released December 2022.

* Land of Tranquil Light: Also, Land of Eternally Tranquil Light. The Buddha land, which is free from impermanence and impurity. In many sutras, the saha world in which human beings dwell is described as an impure land filled with delusions and sufferings, while the Buddha land is described as a pure land free from these and far removed from this saha world. In contrast, the Lotus Sutra reveals the saha world to be the Buddha land, or the Land of Tranquil Light, and explained that the nature of a land is determined by the minds of its inhabitants.

"'[How is one to know the correct view in Buddhism?] It can be neither discerned with our physical eyes nor perceived with our shallow wisdom. We should use the sutras as our eyes and give precedence to the wisdom of the Buddha.'

"From 'Reply to Hoshina Goro Taro' (WND–1, 155).

"We are in an age rife with negative influences. We mustn't be led astray by false wisdom. With the clear, penetrating eyes of faith, let's keenly discern what is true and false, right and wrong, profound and shallow.

"By chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo each day to fulfil our vow for kosen-rufu, let's bring forth the wisdom of the Buddha, substituting faith for wisdom,* and create value out of every situation as we continue working for happiness and peace.

"Basing ourselves on the writings of Nichiren Daishonin and striving with the wisdom of the Middle Way found therein, let's impart hope-filled encouragement to our friends! Let's expand our positive network in our communities and societies!"

"The Daishonin writes: 'In the Latter Day of the Law, no treasure tower exists other than the figures of the men and women who embrace the Lotus Sutra. It follows, therefore, that whether eminent or humble, high or low, those who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo are themselves the treasure tower, and, likewise, are themselves the Thus Come One Many Treasures' (WND–1, 299).

"The treasure tower refers to the magnificent tower that appears in the Lotus Sutra, adorned with the seven kinds of treasures*—such as gold, silver and lapis lazuli. The Thus Come One Many Treasures is the Buddha who attests to the Lotus Sutra being the true teaching for the enlightenment of all people.

"In other words, by striving in faith, human beings toiling in the real world can, just as they are, shine with the golden brilliance of treasure towers—as embodiments of the Mystic Law—and, like Many Treasures Buddha, attest to the greatness of Buddhism." 

The New Human Revolution, Vol. 28, Great Path 4, translation released December 2022.

* Seven kinds of treasures: Also, seven treasures or seven kinds of gems. Precious substances mentioned in the sutras. The list differs among the Buddhist scriptures. According to the Lotus Sutra, the seven are gold, silver, lapis lazuli, seashell, agate, pearl and carnelian (cf. LSOC11, 209).
