"I'd like to share with you an insight from the great French writer Victor Hugo (1802-85).*


"...When a difficulty arises, some immediately give up, saying it's too much for them. Hugo calls these people 'the weak,' and says that for them the future is 'impossible.'


"There are also those who hide from problems, trying to ignore or deny them. Hugo calls these people 'the timid,' and for them the future is 'unknown.' Ultimately, misfortune will await them.


"And then there are others who courageously grapple with reality, refusing to be defeated. These Hugo identifies as 'the thinkers' and 'the valiant,' and for them, he says, the future is 'ideal.' Theirs will be a bright and beautiful future.


"Three approaches to life and three different futures. Hugo's observation shares much in common with the way of life taught by Nichiren Buddhism.


"In that spirit, let us press onwards, strive our hardest, and win.

That is the way to bring our lives to glorious completion, savouring ultimate victory and happiness."


16th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders' Meeting, A Bright and Beautiful Future Awaits the Valiant, excerpt from the 68th Soka Gakkai HQ Leaders Mtg., July 7th, 1993 Seikyo Newspaper, November 11th, 2023, translation released February 2024


* See Victor Hugo, Pendant l'exil: 1852-1870 (During the Exile: 1852-1870), in Actes et Paroles (Acts and Words), vol. 2 (Paris: Albin Michel, 1938), p. 84.

During the 2,220 or more years since the Buddha's passing, not even Mahākāshyapa, Ānanda, Ashvaghosha, Nāgārjuna, Nan-yĆ¼eh, T'ien-t'ai, Miao-lo, or Dengyō has propagated them. My disciples, form your ranks and follow me, and surpass even Mahākāshyapa or Ānanda, T'ien-t'ai or Dengyō!"

"A strong wish to praise the children of the Buddha is the sign of a strong life state of Buddhahood. Those who praise the Gohonzon and our heroic members striving for kosen-rufu are people whose life state of Buddhahood is strong."
