"The Lotus Sutra describes the Bodhisattvas of the Earth as 'clever at difficult questions and answers, / their minds know no fear. / They have firmly cultivated persevering minds' (LSOC15, 263). Let us therefore work tirelessly to spread the Mystic Law in this strife-filled saha world, reaching out to and speaking with others. Let us keep challenging ourselves to sow seeds of peace, happiness, and trust in the fields of people's hearts. Let us give them hope for a better, more humane future as we brighten society."

Of course, chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and sharing Nichiren Buddhism bring you benefits and enable you to overcome financial difficulties. But to attain Buddhahood in this lifetime—that is, to establish a life state of absolute happiness—you must persevere in faith throughout your life. Continuing is the key to faith.

"Being ruled by arrogance, however, will destroy your faith. That's why the Daishonin states: 'If you wish to attain Buddhahood, you have only to lower the banner of your arrogance, cast aside the staff of your anger, and devote yourself exclusively to the one vehicle of the Lotus Sutra [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo]. Worldly fame and profit are mere baubles of your present existence, and arrogance and prejudice are ties that will fetter you in the next one' (WND-1, 58–59)."

"The Daishonin says that he is carrying out the actual practice of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth and enduring persecution as a result. At the same time, his contemporary and future disciples—who are connected to him through 'the assembly on Holy Eagle Peak which continues in solemn state and has not yet disbanded'* (OTT, 135)—are also Bodhisattvas of the Earth who have appeared in response to their great vow to widely spread the Law, their great vow for kosen-rufu.

"In modern times, it is none but the members of the Soka Gakkai, united by the bonds of mentor and disciple, who have spread the Mystic Law around the world, confirming the Daishonin's declaration 'The Bodhisattvas of the Earth will appear and propagate it' (WND-1, 1112). While in prison, Mr. Toda awoke to his identity as a Bodhisattva of the Earth, and he taught that each one of us shares that identity. How noble and honourable is the mission we have!"

* This passage from the writings of the Great Teacher T'ien-t'ai, quoted by Nichiren Daishonin in The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, asserts that the assembly on Eagle Peak where Shakyamuni preaches the Lotus Sutra is eternal and never ending.

"One who propagates the correct teaching in the Latter Day of the Law is certain to encounter an onslaught of obstacles. As the Daishonin also declares in this writing: 'Because what I practise is superior, the difficulties attending it are that much greater' (WND-1, 1115).

"Nonetheless, practitioners of the Lotus Sutra stand up alone and patiently continue to share the correct teaching with one person after another, refusing to let anything intimidate, discourage or defeat them. This, in fact, is not the mission of the Buddha of the essential teaching, Shakyamuni, but of his disciples, the Bodhisattvas of the Earth."

"The characters of this sutra are all without exception living Buddhas of perfect enlightenment. But because we have the eyes of ordinary people, we see them as characters. … Buddhas recognise each character as a golden Shakyamuni."

"More than five decades ago [in 1969], UNESCO published a book titled Birthright of Man to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.* It was a compilation of inspiring quotes on the subject of human rights from great thinkers of East and West over the ages.

"A passage from the Daishonin's writings was among those selected—in fact, the very one we (looked at the day before yesterday) : 'Even if it seems that, because I was born in the ruler's domain, I follow him in my actions, I will never follow him in my heart' (WND-1, 579).** It is included in chapter 3, 'Limitations of Power,' in the section subtitled 'Conditional Submission, Supremacy of Conscience' under the heading 'Limits to Authority.'

"These words that the Daishonin uttered in the 13th century are without doubt an undying declaration of the 'supremacy of conscience,' a powerful signal that the freedom of religion, thought and conscience are inviolable. His spiritual struggle reverberates deeply with the ideal of universal human rights."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [79] Advancing on the Great path of Kosen-rufu with Unwavering Lifelong Courage, A Declaration of Freedom of Thought and Conscience, October 2021, Daibyaku-renge, translation released June 2022.

* Universal Declaration of Human Rights: A document comprising 30 articles, adopted at the third United Nations General Assembly in Paris on December 10, 1948, as a "common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations."

** Cf. Birthright of Man: A Selection of Texts, edited by Jeanne Hersch (Paris: United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 1969), p. 127.
