At a time when people everywhere are beset with problems and crises, the sight of members praying morning and evening for "peace throughout the world and the happiness of all living beings" and taking action for the sake of others shines as a powerful resurgence of the Buddha's compassion. It is a force that infuses society with fresh hope, inspires human renewal and can rightly be called a modern-day miracle.

"When deluded, one is called an ordinary being, but when enlightened, one is called a Buddha. This is similar to a tarnished mirror that will shine like a jewel when polished. A mind now clouded by the illusions of the innate darkness of life is like a tarnished mirror, but when polished, it is sure to become like a clear mirror, reflecting the essential nature of phenomena and the true aspect of reality."

The expansion of kosen-rufu in every country and community has always begun with one courageous individual—someone who stood up alone with the vow, "together with my mentor." Nichiren Daishonin described the start of his own great struggle as "the single speck of dust that marks the beginning of Mount Sumeru or the single drop of dew that spells the start of the great ocean" (WND-1, 672). In that same spirit, our fellow members throughout the world have become such "single specks of dust" and "single drops of dew" —protagonists of kosen-rufu who have boldly opened new paths. Their shared struggle is a "wonderful story [that will endure into the future]" (WND-1, 499).

"The Lotus Sutra is an unfolding narrative of the dramatic revitalisation of human life. As one person after another comes into contact with this notion that all without exception inherently possess the most sublime state of being, and as they steadily awaken to their own precious and irreplaceable dignity, they begin to recognise the weight and value of the dignity of others. Thus, they mutually deepen their determination to build a world in which the dignity of both self and others shines brightly."

"Of course, it is only natural that we would regard our own lives as the most precious of all. This reality is embraced in the approach to human rights expounded by the Buddhist teachings practicsed by members of the SGI.

"For example, we have the following account drawn from the life and teachings of Shakyamuni. On one occasion, while in conversation, the king and queen of the ancient Indian kingdom of Kosala came to realise that they each held no one more dear than themselves. Upon hearing this honest feeling, Shakyamuni responded with the following verse:

"'Having traversed all quarters with the mind, 

One finds none anywhere dearer than oneself.

Likewise, each person holds themself most dear;

Hence one who loves themself should not harm others.' *

"In other words, if you regard your own life to be precious and irreplaceable, then you should grasp the fact that each person must also feel that way; making this realisation the basis for how you conduct your life, you should resolve never to act in ways that will cause harm to others."

"Winning is a lifelong struggle. More fundamentally, there are cases where victory must be measured from the perspective of the three existences of past, present and future. Nevertheless, be confident that your ultimate great victory is guaranteed and live out your lives as undaunted champions!

"To do this, you need a strong spirit. You cannot persevere in Buddhist practice if you are cowardly. You need the strength to endure great trials and to overcome your arrogance or attachment to recognition or personal profit."

"At the root of discrimination is the feeling that the members of one's own group are the most just and valuable of all. When society confronts a crisis situation, there is a strong impulse to prioritize the members of one's own group. This interacts with feelings of distaste for others, causing people to seek security by cutting off contact with those seen as different from themselves."

"The Daishonin said that he was able to expiate in a single lifetime all his past slanders of the Law because of the great hardships he faced while spreading the Lotus Sutra.

"The refreshing sight of seniors in faith who continue to embody President Ikeda's guidance purely and without distortion, shines as an inspiring example for the next generation.

"In much the same way, the earnest efforts of younger members—who seek President Ikeda's guidance through his novels The Human Revolution and The New Human Revolution and who challenge themselves in their daily struggles while engaging in an inner dialogue with their mentor—serve as a source of inspiration for their seniors."
