"I was particularly moved by the joyous report from an SGI-South Africa leader, who declared: 'Uniting together in study as the Continent of the 21st Century was a great victory.'
"All around the world, fellow Bodhisattvas of the Earth, many facing indescribable challenges, are earnestly studying and putting into practise such essential principles for inner transformation as the 'mutual possession of the Ten Worlds' and 'three thousand realms in a single moment of life.'
"Because all people embody the mutual possession of the Ten Worlds, they equally possess the supremely noble life state of Buddhahood. This teaching of Nichiren Buddhism resonates deeply with the African wisdom of ubuntu, a philosophy emphasising compassion, inner goodness and the interconnectedness of all people that says 'I am because you are.'
"The indomitable champion of human rights, former South African president Nelson Mandela (1918-2013), stressed the importance of ubuntu. Summing up his life philosophy forged through more than 27 years of imprisonment and tireless struggle for human rights, he declared: 'Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.' This unshakable spirit of respect for all people brought down the daunting walls of apartheid, a system of institutionalised racial discrimination."
