"You must simply make up your mind. Look at the world this year as a mirror. The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair."

"The Renaissance, the period of cultural and artistic rebirth in Europe from the 14th to 16th centuries, was a transformational era in which God, viewed as absolute and reining over all from above, was brought down to the realm of the individual. This led to a rejection of a Church-centred worldview and to calls for liberating the human spirit. What followed, however, was not respect for individual dignity but rather the rise of new forms of external authority. This trend continued for several centuries, with people putting their faith in progress, in institutions, in capital, in science and even in nuclear power. But the value systems built upon such externals had reached a breaking point and were rapidly crumbling, leaving a profound emptiness in people’s lives.

“I believe that the guiding principles for the future must emerge from a religion deeply rooted in people’s hearts. The time has come for us to prioritise inner personal transformation over absolute faith in external authority. Though it may be a modest approach, I see such a ‘second Renaissance’ as a necessary trend of the times. Ordinary people will play the key role in achieving this, and their struggle must begin with changing their own lives.”

"The teachings of Nichiren Buddhism offers the means to make this possible.”
