-- DAILY GOSHO --

Showing profound compassion for those unable to comprehend the gem of the doctrine of three thousand realms in a single moment of life, the Buddha wrapped it within the five characters [of Myoho-renge-kyo], with which he then adorned the necks of the ignorant people of the latter age.

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---

"The Daishonin also describes the Bodhisattvas of the Earth as having forged themselves into champions of kosen-rufu in the Latter Day of the Law: 'These bodhisattvas are the ones who had thoroughly forged their resolve' (WND-1, 953).

"Demonstrating this powerful life force of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, we are engaged in a great, unprecedented struggle to vanquish the fundamental ignorance* of humankind,

plagued as it is by endless conflict and suffering."

Buddhism of the Sun, A Noble Life Deicated to Fulfilling the Mission of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, Voluntarily Taking on Challenges, SGI Newsletter No. 11515, April 11th, 2024 translation released May, 2024. 

*Fundamental ignorance: Also, fundamental darkness. The most deeply rooted illusion inherent in life, said to give rise to all other illusions. The inability to see or recognise the ultimate truth of the Mystic Law or the negative impulses that arise from such ignorance.
