"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."
