-- DAILY GOSHO —
"I have received from you one container of wheat, five packets of river nori, and sixty pieces of ginger.  Because this is a regular occurence, ordinary people tend to show no surprise and take it as a matter of course."

"The Lotus Sutra, which makes it possible for anyone to bring forth the supremely noble Buddha nature that all inherently possess, is a teaching of the triumph of ordinary people.

"It is a teaching for all humanity to live together in peace, transcending differences and fostering human dignity and social harmony.

"It is a teaching of lasting peace, proclaiming the power of the Mystic Law as a force for building a peaceful society, for transforming the troubled saha world* in which we live into the Land of Tranquil Light.**

"Therefore, practising in accord with the Buddha's teachings as a successor means each one of us firmly establishing the treasure tower of our innate Buddhahood in our lives and expanding our positive network to create a world in which all people are celebrated.

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [35] To My Dear friends of the Youth Division—Part 3 [of 5], Successors—Live Out Your Lives Upholding and Fulfilling Your Vow, Creating a World Where All People Are Celebrated, March 2018 Daibyakurenge incorporating revisions from a compilation of the subseries "To My Friends of the Youth Division" published in booklet form in Japanese in July 2018, translation released late October 2018.

  

* Saha world: This world, which is full of suffering. Often translated as the world of endurance. In Sanskrit, saha means the earth; it derives from a root meaning "to bear" or "to endure." For this reason, in the Chinese versions of Buddhist scriptures, saha is rendered as endurance. In this context, the saha world indicates a world in which people must endure suffering.

** Land of Tranquil Light: Also, Land of Eternally Tranquil Light. The Buddha land, which is free from impermanence and impurity. In many sutras, the actual saha world in which human beings dwell is described as an impure land filled with delusions and sufferings, while the Buddha land is described as a pure land free from these and far removed from this saha world. In contrast, the Lotus Sutra reveals the saha world to be the Buddha land, or the Land of Eternally Tranquil Light, and explains that the nature of a land is determined by the minds of its inhabitants.
