"Those who take action for kosen-rufu are Bodhisattvas of the Earth. The Daishonin tells us that these bodhisattvas possess the four noble virtues of the Buddha—eternity, happiness, true self, and purity.

“'Eternity' means that the state of Buddhahood inherent within Buddhas and all living beings abides eternally throughout the three existences—past, present, and future.

“'Happiness' is a state of tranquility free from suffering. 

"'True self' means that Buddhahood is our true and intrinsic nature, an independent, indestructible strength.

“'Purity' means that no matter how corrupt and polluted the age, our lives function purely, like a clear, flowing spring. 

"By establishing a life state imbued with eternity, happiness, true self and purity—a state born from our resolve and efforts to selflessly spread the Mystic Law —we can genuinely 'enjoy ourselves at ease.'

"We strive in our faith and practice so we can 'enjoy ourselves at ease' (see LSOC16, 272)—in other words, to enjoy a serene and unhindered state of happiness. People often think that gaining wealth and fame will automatically bring happiness. But if we look for happiness outside ourselves, pulled this way and that by our desires, we’ll never know true fulfilment and satisfaction. Though we may get what we want, our joy will be short-lived. Soon we’ll feel empty again. Human desires have a way of growing and expanding, and if we can’t get what we want the next time, we’ll become dissatisfied and anxious.

"Such is the limited pleasure gained from fulfiling worldly desires. On the other hand, 'boundless joy of the Law' describes the supreme and absolute happiness of attaining enlightenment. This happiness does not come from the outside but wells up from the depths of our being.

"That is why Nichiren Daishonin declares: 'There is no true happiness for human beings other than chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo' (WND-1, 681). The 'boundless joy of the Law'—true happiness—is found in chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. More importantly, true happiness is found in practising for both ourselves and others. As the Daishonin says: 'You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. . . . Teach others [about Buddhism] to the best of your ability, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase' (WND-1, 386)."

"Of course, to advance kosen-rufu, we each need to be ready to devote our lives selflessly to spreading the Law. Only with such firm resolve can we attain Buddhahood in this lifetime and transform our karma.

"To be ready to do this means deciding that life’s ultimate purpose is kosen-rufu. It means demonstrating the power of the Gohonzon and the truth of Nichiren Buddhism in our lives and way of living, not for fame or personal gain but to share the teachings with others.

"We carry out Soka Gakkai activities and pray earnestly that, for the sake of kosen-rufu, we can become healthy, transform our financial difficulties, build a harmonious family, and so on. Prayers based on a vow for kosen-rufu are the prayers of the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas of the Earth; therefore, they activate the protective functions of the universe."

"Life is incomparably sacred, a precious treasure to be protected. Why, then, did the Daishonin write: 'Since death is the same in either case, you should be willing to offer your

life for the Lotus Sutra' (WND-1, 1003)?

"Death awaits us all someday. In the Daishonin’s time, countless died in famines, epidemics and armed conflicts. People also had to face the prospect of losing their lives

should the Mongol forces invade Japan.

"Life is the greatest treasure; but it is as fleeting as the morning dew. The important thing, then, is how we use our lives. Hence the Daishonin says we should not waste our precious lives on 'shallow, worldly matters' (WND-1, 301), but instead dedicate them to protecting and spreading the great, eternal, unchanging teaching of the Lotus Sutra, the teaching that enables all people to attain enlightenment and find happiness.

"This is because by doing so, we can attain the state of absolute and indestructible happiness that is Buddhahood. As the Daishonin writes: 'By offering their lives to the Lotus Sutra, they became Buddhas' (WND-2, 1073).

"Life is eternal; it spans the three existences of past, present and future. Even should we face persecution and lay down our lives for Buddhism in this present existence, our path would open to attaining Buddhahood in the future.

"Moreover, in 'Letter from Sado,' the Daishonin tells us that experiencing great hardships for the sake of Buddhism enables us to expiate in this lifetime the negative karma we have accumulated in past existences (see WND-1, 303).

"The resolve to give our lives without hesitation and to selflessly dedicate ourselves to propagating the Law is not some sort of tragic fatalism. It is a state of serene and imperturbable joy."

"The Atsuhara farmers’ behaviour and way of life exemplify the ultimate in faith. Faith has nothing to do with education, social status or economic standing. It is the courage and resolve to face great difficulties or persecution on account of spreading the Mystic Law, boldly and without fear. It is being able to regard such adversity as a “crucial moment,” remembering and keeping the mentor’s words deeply in one’s heart and having the conviction to follow through on one’s chosen path. It is also being ready to give one’s life for the sake of the Law unfettered by self-interest. And it is having unshakable belief in the principles of Buddhism, free from doubt or hesitation."
