"When I met with the renowned scholar of political science Glenn Paige (1929-2017), who dedicated himself to the realisation of a 'non-killing society,' we discussed the spirit and actions of Bodhisattva Never Disparaging.

"I explained that Bodhisattva Never Disparaging tenaciously endured both physical and verbal violence and, with a belief in the Buddha nature of all people, continued to respect everyone without disparaging them.

"I commented that it is easy to respond to violence with violence, but that will not put a stop to the cycle of evil. At the same time, silently enduring violence without taking some action to stop it only encourages its growth. Instead, we must fight uncompromisingly, with a strong commitment to nonviolence, against violence of any form that violates human dignity. That is the practice of Buddhism, I said.

"The hearts of those who devote themselves to this struggle to protect the dignity of life resound with a song of victory, I added, affirming my belief that fostering such champions and creating a climate of nonviolence is the way to build the foundation for lasting peace."

"Buddhism is about emerging triumphant. If we allow ourselves to be defeated by persecution and abandon our practice of never disparaging others, we are surrendering to the devilish function of arrogance. Because Bodhisattva Never Disparaging persisted in his efforts to the very end, 'all took faith in him and willingly became his followers' (LSOC20, 310). This was the triumph of his sincere, wholehearted practice of believing in the Buddha nature of all people, no matter how much he was scorned or persecuted.

"Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's actions of showing respect for all people enfolded everyone he met in the warm light of compassion and changed the minds of the arrogant people who had attacked him. This was due to the power of 'daimoku that is preached in a forceful manner, though it angers them.'"

"Shin'ichi viewed kosen-rufu as a cultural movement rooted in the lives of the people. Once, when asked by some young people what conditions would result from the spread of Nichiren Daishonin's teachings, he said, 'Just to give a cultural example, we might describe it as a time when ordinary, little old Japanese women will discuss Beethoven and Bach with ease in their daily conversations. Culture and art take on their true meaning when they are known and loved by the people. Without the participation and appreciation of the people, culture and art are empty, meaningless.

"When people aspire to live with dignity, they find themselves turning naturally to art, appreciating beautiful music and fine paintings. Furthermore, when humanity and the human spirit triumph, they lead to a brilliant cultural flowering and the appearance of truly great artworks."

"There is one more aspect of Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's actions to which I would like to draw your attention.

"While the people he addressed reacted with hostility, they also couldn't help but recognize the truth of his words. Put another way, Bodhisattva Never Disparaging conveyed the essence of Buddhism by connecting with each person's life.

"The Teacher of the Law" (10th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra states that one who can "secretly expound the Lotus Sutra to one person" is the envoy of the Thus Come One [the Buddha], carrying out the work of the Thus Come One (cf. LSOC10, 200).*

"Bodhisattva Never Disparaging did his best to engage and to share Buddhism with the person in front of him. Year after year, he tirelessly reached out and spoke with one individual after another. That is how he spread the "24-character Lotus Sutra"-that is, the Lotus Sutra's humanistic philosophy of respect for all people."

* The Teacher of the Law" (10th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra states: "If one of these good men or women in the time after I have passed into extinction is able to secretly expound the Lotus Sutra to one person, even one phrase of it, then you should know that they are the envoy of the Thus Come One [the Buddha]. They have been dispatched by the Thus Come One and carries out the Thus Come One's work" (LSOC10, 200).

"The Venerable Maudgalyāyana put his faith in the Lotus Sutra, which is the greatest good there is, and thus not only did he himself attain Buddhahood, but his father and mother did so as well. And, amazing as it may seem, all the fathers and mothers of the preceding seven generations and the seven generations that followed, indeed, of countless lifetimes before and after, were able to become Buddhas."

"Never Disparaging was not by any measure an eminent bodhisattva. Nor is he described as a person of great learning. He simply persisted in bowing respectfully to people, declaring: 'I have profound reverence for you, I would never dare treat you with disparagement or arrogance' (LSOC20, 308). Those he addressed, however, far from being grateful, were angered, deriding him for his ignorance and attacking him for what he said.

"But even when some assaulted him with sticks and stones, he just ran to a safe distance and from there once again loudly pro-claimed: 'You are certain to become Buddhas!' He was sensible and flexible. He wisely avoided attempts to do him harm, but still said what needed to be said. No matter how harsh the verbal abuse showered on him, he didn't become pessimistic or dejected. He remained calm and unruffled, and continued his efforts to reach out to others, day after day. His tenacious behaviour shines with genuine humanity."

"How should we, Mr. Toda's disciples, realise the ideals set forth in his Declaration? I will mention some key points. The first, naturally, is that Nichiren Daishonin's great philosophy, teaching as it does the nobility and supreme value of life and the oneness of life's spiritual and physical aspects, is the philosophy that can make the abolition of nuclear weapons a reality.

"I am convinced that the only essential way to rid our world of nuclear arms is by making the ideals and principles of the Daishonin's Buddhism known throughout the world. I declare here and now that the elimination of nuclear weapons will only become possible when a citadel of peace is built in the heart of every individual, when each person is committed to the dignity and sanctity of life.

"The second point has to do with the kind of movement necessary to achieve a transformation in each individual. We saw how opposing factions of the Japan Council Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs caused an uproar at the eighth World Congress Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs held in Tokyo. We cannot look to such politicised groups to bring an end to the use of nuclear weaponry. We need a movement that transcends ideology and politics, that concentrates on awakening and changing individuals at the most profound level of life itself.

"So although spreading the teachings of humanism through one-on-one dialogue may seem like a circuitous route, sharing the philosophy of Buddhism with others is in fact the most meaningful action we can take towards abolishing nuclear weapons."

Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'The heart of the Buddha's lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the "Never Disparaging" chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being' (WND-1, 851-52; "The Three Kinds of Treasure").

"What this underscores for me is that we are not only carrying on the mission of kosen-rufu as Bodhisattvas of the Earth,* but are also joyfully spreading Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's practice of respecting all people in this troubled saha world' in the evil age after the Buddha's passing. This sort of 'behavior as a human being' is embodied in the action of encouraging the person right in front of us, and is at the core of our dialogue movement based on respect for the dignity of life and for all people."

* Bodhisattvas of the Earth: The innumerable bodhisattvas who appear in the "Emerging from the Earth" (15th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra and are entrusted by Shakyamuni with the task of propagating the Law after his passing. In the "Supernatural Powers" (21st) chapter, Shakyamuni entrusts Bodhisattva Superior Practices, the leader of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, with spreading the Law in the saha world in the evil age of the Latter Day of the Law.

In addition, when we encourage others, we ourselves are also encouraged. Showing respect to others strengthens and endlessly enriches our own lives as well."

"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life. This is what I have taught my disciples morning and evening, and yet they begin to harbour doubts and abandon their faith."

The eternal flow of Buddhism can only be guaranteed when young people come up with their own most effective means of spreading its teachings and ideals among their peers."

"Encouragement is by no means a one-way street. It is mutual; we encourage and are encouraged, striving and advancing together.

"And the foundation for encouragement is trust and respect for the other person. Genuine encouragement is born from a wholehearted belief in people's inherent dignity and innate capacity for good."
