"We are all writing the story of our own life. It is our story, and ours alone. We decide for ourselves where our narrative will begin, devise our own plot of the ups and downs we will face, what odds we will surmount, and all the rest.

"Praising the Ikegami brothers* for overcoming adversity through unity, the Daishonin writes: 'Could there ever be a more wonderful story than your own?' (WND-1, 499).

"Theirs was not a bitter story of being mercilessly attacked by the three obstacles and four devils.** Rather, it was a story of creating a new future. It was a story of the Ikegami brothers uniting to triumph over hardship, a story of achieving family harmony, and a story of the victory of truth and justice.

"The starting point for writing such a new story are the principles of true cause and transforming karma taught in Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism of the Sun."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [45] Embodying the Spirit of "True Cause"— Moving towards Victory through Daily Renewal, Writing the Story of a Victorious, Fulfilled Life, January 2019 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released August 2019.

* The Ikegami brothers: Leading disciples of Nichiren Daishonin. The elder brother, Munenaka, was twice disowned by their father, who was a follower of Ryokan, the chief priest of Gokuraku-ji temple of the True Word Precepts school, a person hostile to the Daishonin. At the same time, their father tempted Munenaga, the younger brother, to abandon his faith in the Daishonin's teaching and take his brother's place as the next head of the family. Despite these adversities, the brothers persevered in their Buddhist practice. The father later rescinded Munenaka's disinheritance, and in the end took faith in the Daishonin's teaching.

** The three obstacles and four devils are various obstacles and hindrances to the practice of Buddhism. The three obstacles are (1) the obstacle of earthly desires, (2) the obstacle of karma, and (3) the obstacle of retribution. The four devils are (1) the hindrance of the five components, (2) the hindrance of earthly desires, (3) the hindrance of death and (4) the hindrance of the devil king.

"In our dialogue, Dr. Larry Hickman, an esteemed American educator and former president of the John Dewey Society, remarked: 'It is said that when a traveller arrived in a town in the American frontier, the first question put to him would be not "Where are you coming from?" but "Where are you headed? What are your plans?"!'

"Whether travellers came in search of fortune, to start over, or to redeem past mistakes was of little consequence. Here in the frontier, all that mattered was what they were going to do from now on.

"In a similar vein, the champions of Soka always stand up with firm resolve to create new opportunities and take on fresh challenges from this moment, determined never to be defeated by any difficulty.

"This is the invincible Soka Gakkai spirit embodying the Daishonin's stirring declaration: 'Still I am not discouraged' (WND-1, 748)."

"The traditional theory of karma sees the past as determining and governing the present. This inevitably leads to a passive, backward-looking way of life, in which we are held captive by the past. It can also result in apathy and a feeling of powerlessness, in fatalistic resignation, in blaming everything on our karma and in giving up any effort.

"We of the Soka Gakkai, however, embrace the great philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism, which enables us to change karma into mission, teaching the principle that transforming karma means doing human revolution. In other words, instead of being imprisoned by the past, by transforming our mind-set, or deep-seated resolve, we can change the meaning of our past; through our actions, we can create value and open the way to a new life starting from this present moment.

"The philosophy of true cause means striving to build a brighter future.

"The Daishonin declared that his life was not passively subject to 'the general law of cause and effect' (WND-1, 305), the traditional theory of karma. What can we do to change our karma on a fundamental level? We can dedicate our lives to the great vow for kosen-rufu as practitioners of the Lotus Sutra. The Daishonin personally demonstrated this in the way he faced great persecutions in his own life. And we, the mentors and disciples of the Soka Gakkai, are his direct disciples."

"As revealed in such writings as 'The Opening of the Eyes' and 'Letter from Sado,' which the Daishonin wrote during his exile on Sado Island, those who practise the Lotus Sutra and spread the Mystic Law are certain to undergo great difficulties. But by struggling fearlessly against those obstacles with the 'heart of a lion king,' he states [in 'Letter from Sado'], they can eradicate all negative effects of past offences and attain Buddhahood (cf. WND-1, 302-3).

"In the face of severe hardships, we need to look ahead with a positive attitude and joyfully take them on. Those with the 'heart of a lion king' possess the courage to create and spread hope, no matter how adverse their circumstances. They can tap the wisdom to overcome every obstacle and sever the heavy chains of negative karma. They have an invincible power. This absolute conviction is the spirit of true cause.

"Indeed, whenever our members have encountered difficulties in life, they have roused ever stronger faith, regarding such moments as opportunities for growth and for changing their karma, or destiny. Overcoming one challenge after another, they have moved forwards in their lives with strength and resilience, and opened the way to a hope-filled future."

"The great Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), who is said to have been deeply interested in Buddhism, wrote of how he believed life should be viewed: 'The past does not exist. The future has not begun!'* He further observed: 'Time does not exist. There is only a small and infinite present, and it is only in this present that our life occurs. Therefore, a person should concentrate all their spiritual force only on this present.'**

"These are very profound insights. I strongly agree with Tolstoy's assertion that we should devote our entire beings to this present moment.

"Shakyamuni taught his followers to value the present, to treasure today: 'The past should not be followed after, the future not desired. ... Swelter at the task this very day.'

"Winning in the present opens the way to future victory, to eternal victory enduring throughout past, present and future.

"The Daishonin quotes a passage from a sutra: 'If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present' (WND-1, 279).

"If the present is the inevitable result of past causes, then we can say that the present is defined by the past. Indeed, the present is a mirror reflecting the past. At the same time, however, the present is the starting point of the future, the active cause for creating a new future.

"The mystic principle of the true cause, in terms of the text of the Lotus Sutra, refers to the fundamental cause for Shakyamuni's attainment of Buddhahood in the remote past. In Nichiren Buddhism, however, we are practising that same fundamental cause, the Mystic Law, now in the real world. Thus, in this Buddhism of true cause, the remote past becomes the present time of the Latter Day of the Law. In each moment, we begin anew our practice of the eternal bodhisattva way.

"As such, we are always standing at the fundamental starting point of everything. Drawing forth the boundless life force of our inherent Buddhahood, we can dynamically transform ourselves and our lives where we are right now. This is the essence of faith based on the true cause of always starting afresh from this moment on."

"Neither the fundamental cause for attaining Buddhahood (the true cause, the cause for Buddhahood) nor the state of Buddhahood to be attained (the true effect, the fruit of Buddhahood) exists without the practice of showing respect for all people demonstrated by Bodhisattva Never Disparaging,* based on the wish to awaken their inherent Buddha nature."

*Bodhisattva Never Disparaging is described in the "Bodhisattva Never Disparaging" (20th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra. This bodhisattva-Shakyamuni in a previous lifetime-lived at the end of the Middle Day of the Law, after the death of the Buddha Awesome Sound King. He would bow to everyone he met and say: "I have profound reverence for you, I would never dare treat you with disparagement or arrogance. Why? Because you will all practice the bodhisattva way and will then be able to attain Buddhahood" (LSOC20, 308). However, he was attacked by arrogant people, who beat him with sticks and staves and threw stones at him. The sutra explains that this practice became the cause for Bodhisattva Never Disparaging to attain Buddhahood.

When one believes in and practises the Lotus Sutra, one's innate Buddhahood emerges, and at the same time one's environment becomes a Buddha land. This is because everyone's life is inherently endowed with the state of a Buddha. This innate Buddha nature functions as the internal cause, which, in response to the right conditions, brings about, at any time or any place, the reward of Buddhahood in one's own being and in the environment.

The fundamental wish of Shakyamuni and all other Buddhas is to enable all people to reveal the Buddha wisdom, inherent equally in everyone's life, and to carry out Buddhist practice based on that wisdom. In this way, they aim to enable all people to achieve a state of life equal to that of the Buddhas themselves. This is conveyed in the Lotus Sutra by Shakyamuni's statement of his long-held vow "to make all persons equal to me, without any distinction between us" (LSOC2, 70). This is the fundamental purpose of Buddhism.
