"In a letter to the lay nun Myoichi, the Daishonin offers unwavering assurance that her late husband is protecting her and her family (see WND-1, 536). He teaches that when those who have dedicated their lives to the Mystic Law die, their surviving loved ones are sure to be protected and make their way to happiness without fail.

"To another disciple [the wife of Nanjo Hyoe Shichiro and mother of Nanjo Tokimitsu] about her late husband, the Daishonin writes: 'When he was alive, he was a Buddha in life, and now he is a Buddha in death. He is a Buddha in both life and death. This is what is meant by that most important doctrine called attaining Buddhahood in one's present form' (WND-1, 456).

"As Soka Gakkai members, we know in our hearts how true this passage is. We have observed countless fellow members setting forth on their journeys into the next life-people who devoted themselves to compassionately spreading the Mystic Law and embodied an infinitely vast and sound view of life and its eternal nature. They were Buddhas in life and Buddhas in death, savouring joy in both life and death."
