WHEN we ask ourselves what are
the most crucial issues facing humankind in the 21st century, it is
clear that a central challenge will be to establish on a global scale a
robust philosophy of reverence for life, a philosophy that is
consistently and clearly focused on the human being. This is the only
certain mean of breaking free of the chain of spirals of killing,
slaughter and hatred that bind us. Only in this way can we create a
world lit by the inherent dignity of all people, a world in which all
people may equally savour the fruits of happiness and peace.
TRUE joy is to be found in working for kosen-rufu, in practicing and
taking action for the happiness of oneself and others. The greatest joy
in life is to be found in SGI activities. Our activities for kosen-rufu
become memories that shine ever more brilliantly in our lives as tie
goes by.
IT is through our tenacious efforts that we are able to develop our true
ability. And it is the power of faith that enables us to continually
maintain such efforts. Moreover, faith enables us to cultivate the life
force and good fortune needed to manifest our true ability to the
fullest. Without both innate ability and tenacious efforts, one can
accomplish little.
I also place high value on personal initiative. Spontaneity underlies
the spirit of autonomy and independence; conversely, taking action
because one is told to amounts to slavery to the spirit. Kosen-rufu will
be advanced by brave people armed with the spirit of independence who
voluntarily strive to fulfill the vow they make at the time of kuon
ganjo.
THOSE who, on all occasions, sincerely endeavour to learn are free of
arrogance and desire for fame. They are people of wisdom who can stride
with confidence on the great path of justice.
