"The Daishonin writes:

"'Life at each moment encompasses the body and mind and the self and environment of all sentient beings in the Ten Worlds* as well as all insentient beings in the three thousand realms, including plants, sky, earth and even the minutest particles of dust. Life at each moment permeates the entire realm of phenomena and is revealed in all phenomena.' (WND-1, 3; 'On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime')

"As these words indicate, our lives, as Bodhisattvas of the Earth, encompass everything in the universe and contain the power to transform the place where we are into a treasure land.

"In the light of this hope-filled principle, any struggle or difficulty we encounter becomes a precious treasure, enabling us to forge and polish our lives so that they shine all the brighter. The greater our problems and sufferings, the more we can bring forth our inner potential by earnestly challenging them. That is the purpose of faith in the Mystic Law."
