"Buddhism primarily concerns itself with victory or defeat, while secular authority is based on the principle of reward and punishment. For this reason, a Buddha is looked up to as the Hero of the World, while the king is called the one who rules at his will."

"Of course, we all experience the sufferings of aging and death differently. Nanjo Tokimitsu's brother Shichiro Goro died at the young age of 16. The Daishonin writes about him, saying: 'I know that in heart he has gone to join his father in the pure land of Eagle Peak' * (WND-2, 887). The world of Buddhahood shines brilliantly in the depths of the lives of all who remain steadfast in faith, come what may. The 'treasures of the heart' (WND-1, 851) they have accumulated can never and will never be destroyed. The Daishonin promises that all who dedicate their lives to the Mystic Law, whatever their situation, will definitely attain Buddhahood."
