"You also are a practitioner of the Lotus Sutra, and your faith is like the waxing moon or the rising tide. Be deeply convinced, then, that your illness cannot possibly persist, and that your life cannot fail to be extended! Take care of yourself, and do not burden your mind with grief."

"Our hardships and struggles exist so that we can demonstrate the great power of Buddhism by surmounting them. You can also put your experience of battling illness to good use in advancing kosen-rufu. Nichiren Buddhism enables us to make the most out of every aspect of our lives.

“That’s why, if you learn that you have a serious illness, it’s important to tell yourself: ‘This is another opportunity to gain a faith experience! It will be another treasure I can use to show the power of Buddhist practice!’ Instead of worrying, face your illness with courage and dignity."

People face all kinds of setbacks in life: illness, job loss or business failure. But these do not, in themselves, cause unhappiness. It’s when people think that their life is over, lose hope, grow apathetic or become self-destructive that they bring misery upon themselves. In other words, letting illness or hardship get the better of you means you’ve allowed the situation to sway and defeat you.

“To triumph over adversity, we must pray powerfully—with a strong spirit and the lionlike resolve: ‘I won’t let this defeat me! I’ll overcome it and win in life!’ Nichiren Daishonin writes: ‘Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?’ (WND-1, 412)."

"When someone has given their all over an extended period, it’s no surprise that fatigue may build up or that they might fall ill. After all, Buddhism teaches that birth, aging, sickness and death are inescapable aspects of life.

“That’s why we should never think that getting sick is a result of weak faith; nor should we feel ashamed about it—even as a leader. And we should never let anyone else feel that way, either.

“Rather, we should warmly embrace and encourage them, saying: ‘You’ve given so much and worked so hard, please take this time to rest and recover. Once you’re feeling better, let’s strive together again.’

“Of course, it goes without saying that we each should do our best to maintain good health. We should aim to lead a well-regulated lifestyle, pay attention to our diet and do what we can to prevent illness. But of course, some illnesses stem from genetic or other unavoidable causes.

“What’s important is to not let illness defeat us. For example, an illness may cause someone to lose their mobility. But that certainly doesn’t mean they’re unhappy. I know many members who though unable to walk are truly happy and lead vibrant, fulfilling lives."

Please conduct activities with everyone’s agreement—the leaders and vice leaders and the youth division. This will lead to the most steady and sustainable development.

“If your discussions come to an impasse and you can’t reach a consensus, try chanting together. It’s also important to study the Daishonin’s writings and return to the basics of faith. What matters most is having a faith-driven resolve to align your hearts and unite for kosen-rufu."

"A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet."

"I would like you to establish a tradition of reading the Daishonin’s writings as part of your daily activities. The more each person strengthens their faith, the more they will want to understand the teachings. That’s because deepening faith and continuing to practise require a foundation in Buddhist study.

“What matters is that everyone reads the Daishonin’s writings together—even just a line or two."*

New Human Revolution, Vol. 29, Charging Ahead 10, SGI Newsletter 11781, 15th April, 2025

* See above …"Daily Gosho” usually "a line or two!"

“They give their lives for shallow, worldly matters but rarely for the Buddha's precious teachings.  Small wonder they do not attain Buddhahood."

As we confront and break through our limitations for the sake of kosen-rufu, our life state will expand tremendously. That will spark fresh energy and momentum in our movement. True growth comes only when we push beyond our limits—that’s when we become more capable. On the other hand, though we may have great potential, if we don’t make full use of it, our ability will fade away.”

The German poet Goethe wrote:

We will strive unceasingly

to shed the habit of half measures

and live resolutely

in wholeness, goodness and beauty.*

New Human Revolution, Vol. 29, Charging Ahead 9, SGI Newsletter 11781, 15th April, 2025
