"Now more than ever the world needs to shift from a focus on material wealth to spiritual wealth, from materialism to respect for the dignity of life—a value system embodied

in these words of Nichiren Daishonin: ‘More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all’ (WND-1, 851).


“I am confident that when this value system becomes firmly established in people’s hearts, we will find a way to unravel and resolve humanity’s greatest challenges, no matter how daunting. If inner destruction leads to external destruction, then it is only natural that inner harmony will, in turn, bring about external harmony.”


"Humanity will be able to open new creative paths to resolve even its most complex and difficult problems when people return to the fundamental Law of life taught in Buddhism.

"A fundamental solution to environmental problems cannot be achieved without shifting to a worldview that promotes harmony and coexistence with nature, ideas rooted in Eastern thought.


"The Eastern philosophy of Buddhism recognizes the innate preciousness of all living things. It also teaches that human life cannot exist apart from the natural environment. This principle—the oneness of life and its environment—teaches that living beings and their environment are distinct yet inseparable.


"According to this principle, a transformation in our inner state of mind inevitably influences how we interact with our natural environment, our external environment, enabling a transformation therein. It is a profound philosophy of harmony and coexistence, where internal and external change are deeply interconnected.


“Only with this worldview as our foundation, can we transform the existing one-way relationship between humanity and nature—characterised by control and subjugation—into a reciprocal connection where communication flows both ways. This shift will enable human beings to listen to the messages of nature and, through such interactions, foster a culture and spirit rich in sensitivity.


“Based on this perspective, I believe we can move away from a mindset of conquering and subjugating nature towards a philosophy of harmonious coexistence and, ultimately, of true oneness with nature.”

"We speak of treasuring each individual, but in concrete terms, this means actively taking the initiative to meet and talk with those living in such unsung and less prosperous areas. This is our most important responsibility as leaders of kosen-rufu. Such efforts are what pave the way to an era of localism. That is also the most natural path for us in light of Nichiren Buddhism’s fundamental commitment to enable all people to become happy."

"Life is full of ups and downs. In one sense, all things are transient. Even in loving couples, one partner will likely pass away first. We can’t avoid the suffering of having to part from loved ones. Transcending these impermanent phenomena, however, is the eternal principle of the Mystic Law. If we base ourselves on this principle and work to revolutionise our state of life, we can surmount the stormy waves of suffering, however relentless, with dignity and serenity and remain undefeated.


“That is why Nichiren Daishonin taught the practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and revealed the Gohonzon. He showed us the way to lead lives of eternity, happiness, true self and purity, and savour joy and ease in this world of impermanence."

"While we must do everything we can to ensure the safety of our meetings, that doesn’t mean we should become oppressive, authoritarian or cold. The Soka Gakkai has always fought against religious authoritarianism that denies human dignity. That’s why we must summon our wisdom to ensure that everyone who comes feels truly welcomed."

Sep. 1st 2026 Tuesday Daily Gosho + Sep. 2nd Wednesday Daily Encouragement

Daily Gosho & Encouragement, both using, where possible, the latest official translations, all quotes are from Nichiren Daishonin or Ikeda Sensei unless otherwise stated…

-- DAILY GOSHO --
"The Lotus Sutra states, '[The doctrines that they preach . . .] will never be contrary to the true reality.' T’ien-t’ai commented on this, saying that 'no worldly affairs of life or work are ever contrary to the true reality.' A person of wisdom is not one who practises Buddhism apart from worldly affairs but, rather, one who thoroughly understands the principles by which the world is governed."

"Some Soka Gakkai leaders have family members who don’t practise. But there’s no need for them to feel out of place within the organisation, lose conviction in faith or become discouraged. When one person stands up with unwavering faith, they can absolutely guide their entire family to happiness as well. This is the remarkable power of the Mystic Law.


"For anyone in this situation, the important thing is to chant earnestly for everyone’s happiness, aiming to achieve a harmonious family. It is precisely because we face challenges that we are motivated to exert ourselves in Buddhist practice. No life is without struggles, after all."
