-- DAY BY DAY
MONTH AFTER MONTH --
The source of all victory lies in the
Writings of Nichiren Daishonin.
-- It's important to continue studying
the Daishonin's teachings
in our daily struggles
in our daily struggles
for kosen-rufu,
even if it is just one verse a day.

"Third, Nichiren Buddhism embodies a philosophy of respect for the dignity of life.
"Every human being possesses the supreme Buddha nature, and each person's life itself is a treasure tower.* The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings repeatedly affirms that everyone is irreplaceable and worthy of the highest respect.
"The Lotus Sutra also teaches that 'not a one will fail to attain Buddhahood'** (LSOC2, 75). This compassionate wish to not leave anyone behind—to help everyone, without exception, attain enlightenment—is the spirit of Nichiren Buddhism, reflecting the great wisdom of equality."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, Key Passages from The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, [1] Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, Hold High the Banner of Respect for the Dignity of Life! Three defining Characteristics of Nichiren Buddhism, Daibyakurenge, November 2022, translation released October 2023.
* Treasure tower: A tower adorned with seven kinds of treasures or gems, which appears in "The Emergence of the Treasure Tower" (11th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra. Asserting that people who uphold the Gohonzon are treasure towers, Nichiren Daishonin declares: "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" (WND-1, 299).
** The original passage from the Lotus Sutra states: "If there are those who hear the Law, then not a one will fail to attain Buddhahood" (LSOC2, 75).
