"The Lotus Sutra describes the Buddha as having a 'few ills and worries' (see LSOC15, 254). Even the Buddha worries and struggles intensely to guide all living beings to enlightenment.

That's why the Buddha's wisdom wells forth ceaselessly. Worries and struggles directly become the firewood that generates the wisdom of enlightenment."

"When our mind-the inner focus of our lives—is devoted to and based on Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the fundamental Law of the universe, we can live each moment to the fullest and convert the sufferings of birth and death into nirvana. This is the Soka family's path, imbued with the four virtues of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity.*"

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, Key Passages from the Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, [2] "introduction" Chapter of the Lotus Sutra, Embracing the Principle of Life's Eternity, translation released October 2023.

* Eternity, happiness, true self and purity are known as the four virtues or four virtue paramitas. They describe the noble qualities of the Buddha's life. The word paramita means "perfection." "Eternity" means unchanging and eternal. "Happiness" means tranquility that transcends all suffering. "True self" means true and intrinsic nature. And "purity" means free of illusion or mistaken conduct.

"Certainly, none of us can escape the sufferings of birth and death. But is death the end of everything? Is it a darkness that we must dread? No, not at all. The Buddhist view of the eternity of life shines as a bright beacon dispelling that darkness and imparting boundless hope.

"Viewed from the standpoint of life's eternity, death is just the departure into a new existence, part of the great rhythm of the workings of life. The Daishonin urges us to strive in faith so that we can have 'a correct and steadfast mind at the moment of death.'* By doing so, he asserts, anyone can forge an indestructible, diamond-like state of life, unfettered by the sufferings of birth and death."

As the Daishonin says, 'The single word "belief [or faith]" is the sharp sword with which one confronts and overcomes fundamental darkness or ignorance' (OTT, 119-20). Without pure, unalloyed faith, an earnest seeking mind to connect with the Daishonin's life and spirit and practice based on that faith, we cannot break through the profound darkness of fundamental ignorance."

"Today there are people who have faith in the Lotus Sutra. The belief of some is like fire while that of others is like water. When the former listen to the teachings, their passion flares up like fire, but as time goes on, they tend to discard their faith.

"Exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study. Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism. You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. Both practice and study arise from faith. Teach others to the best of your ability, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase."

      of All Phenomena
