"The Daishonin says: 'To look on birth and death with repulsion and try to escape from them is termed delusion, or a viewpoint of acquired enlightenment.* Seeing and understanding the originally inherent nature of birth and death is termed awakening, or original enlightenment' (OTT, 127).

"The Daishonin says: 'To look on birth and death with repulsion and try to escape from them is termed delusion, or a viewpoint of acquired enlightenment.* Seeing and understanding the originally inherent nature of birth and death is termed awakening, or original enlightenment' (OTT, 127).
"The 'originally inherent nature of birth and death' means that birth and death are innate aspects of our eternal lives. From the standpoint of the eternity of life throughout past, present and future, there is no reason to abhor or fear death.
"At the same time, in today's society, which tends to ignore the reality of death, the wisdom of Buddhism strongly articulates a fundamental view of existence based on the principle of the oneness of life and death."

* Eternity, happiness, true self and purity are known as the four virtues. Describing the noble qualities of the Buddha's life, the four are explained as follows: "eternity" means unchanging and eternal; "happiness" means tranquillity that transcends all suffering; "true self" means true and intrinsic nature; and "purity" means free of illusion or mistaken conduct."
