"There is definitely something extraordinary in the ebb and flow of the tide, the rising and setting of the moon, and the way in which summer, autumn, winter and spring give way to each other. Something uncommon also occurs when an ordinary person attains Buddhahood. At such a time, the three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat."

"Nichiren, who was repeatedly persecuted and exiled by the ruling authorities as a result of remaining steadfast to his beliefs, would often write letters to his disciples in an effort to impart courage, even while he was physically separated from them. On one occasion, he wrote the following words to a female disciple who had lost her husband:

"'Your late husband had an ailing son and a daughter. I cannot help thinking that he may have grieved that, if he were to abandon them and leave this world, his aged wife, as feeble as a withered tree, would be left alone, and would probably feel very sorry for these children.'(WND 1:535-16

"And yet, he writes, 'winter always turns to spring.' Through these words, Nichiren sought to convey the following message of encouragement: At present, you may be overwhelmed by despair as if the icy winds of winter were pressing upon you. But this will not continue forever. Winter never fails to turn to spring. I urge you to live out your life with courage and strength. Before concluding his letter, Nichiren adds that she should rest assured that he would always watch over her children, bringing the warm light of spring to this woman for whom time had stopped, her life frozen in winter as a result of her husband's death.

"In this way, Nichiren entrusted his words with the task of conveying his heart to his reader. Traversing physical distance, his words, when read, would come alive, becoming firmly engraved in the life of the recipient."

"Nichiren (1222-82), who expounded and spread the teachings of Buddhism in thirteenth-century Japan based on the Lotus Sutra, which expresses the essence of Shakyamuni's teachings, described their power as being like 'oil added to a lamp or a staff presented to an elderly person.' WND Vol2-P920 In other words, Shakyamuni did not deploy superhuman powers to save human beings; rather, he dedicated himself to offering the people with whom he engaged the kind of words that would help them reveal the strength and potential already existing within their lives.

"This same spirit animates the Buddhist teachings of Nichiren, who stressed the crucial importance of taking action to eliminate suffering and despair. His treatise 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land' was written against the backdrop of a series of natural disasters, famine and widespread epidemics that tormented the people of Japan. It issued from his profound desire to eradicate human misery."

"The crisis facing the world today consists of many complex interlocking threats, making it difficult to identify the interrelations among them as required to fully address the problem. While acknowledging this constraint, I would argue that, even as we work to develop a comprehensive response, we must always prioritize addressing the suffering of each of the many individuals whose lives are directly impacted.

"The following Buddhist perspective may be useful in this regard. In the parable of the poisonous arrow, Shakyamuni relates the story of a man who has been shot and wounded by a poisoned arrow. Before he will allow the arrow to be removed, he insists on knowing who made the bow and arrow and the identity—the name and clan—of the person who shot him. No measures can be taken while he demands answers to such particulars. What would happen to such a man, Shakyamuni stresses, is that the arrow will remain lodged in his body and he will end up losing his life. Shakyamuni uses this parable to encourage his disciples, who have a tendency toward intellectualising and theorising, to focus instead on matters that actually affect human life."

"Though there may be persons who are unaware of the principle involved, if they chant the daimoku, they will experience the joy that can only be shared between Buddhas. This is what the sutra means when it says, 'I will surely rejoice and so will the other Buddhas.' Though one may possess medicine blended from hundreds and thousands of ingredients, if one does not drink it, one's illness will never be cured. Though one may have riches in one's storehouse, if one does not know enough to open the storehouse, one may go hungry; and though one may have medicine in the breast of one's robe, if one does not know enough to drink it, one may die."

"To illustrate the karmic bond of mentor and disciple, the Daishonin quotes for his loyal disciple Sairen-bo a passage from the Lotus Sutra: 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers' (LSOC7, 178).

"This passage highlights the sublime essence of the Lotus Sutra—that the mentor-disciple bond is not limited to this existence, that mentor and disciple are always born together, in lifetime after lifetime and ceaselessly take action to guide people to happiness. Together, they strive to transform wherever they are into a Buddha land and help all people change their karma. This is their promise and their vow from the infinite past.

"The bond of mentor and disciple based on the Mystic Law transcends the bounds of life and death and is eternal, enduring throughout past, present and future. Mr. Toda referred to the same Lotus Sutra passage to describe his bond with his mentor Tsunesaburo Makiguchi.* Today, SGI members around the world are studying and carrying on that spirit of mentor and disciple."

* To give one such example, at a memorial service for President Makiguchi, Mr. Toda said: "In your vast and boundless compassion, you let me accompany you even to prison. As a result, I could read with my entire being the passage from the Lotus Sutra: 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers' (LSOCT, 178). The benefit of this was coming to know my former existence as a Bodhisattva of the Earth, and to absorb, with my very life, even a small degree of the sutra's meaning. Could there be any greater happiness than this?"

"Mr. Toda commented: 'The Daishonin says that mentor and disciples are always born together without fail. In light of these words, I feel tremendous gratitude to all of you. We were born together in this world because of a promise we made in the past.'*

"Following the path of mentor and disciple in Buddhism is solemn and profound, infinite and eternal."
