WHAT is the key to realizing
victory in an age of great upheaval and tumultuous change? It is for
leaders to move, to stand in the forefront and to take initiative. I
hope that you will make steady efforts to meet with many people and
create allies. Keeping yourself informed, please take full
responsibility and always be the first to act.
THE spirit of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth is found in the faith to
dedicate oneself whole-heartedly to kosen-rufu. If people lose this
spirit, then no matter how splendid their appearances are, their hearts
will be tainted by worldly affairs and concerns.
THE struggle to cut the roots of evil is actually a struggle to sever
the roots of evil and unhappiness that exist within our own lives. If we
compromise with evil, leaving some roots behind, it will eventually
flourish and grow again. Roots of unhappiness will also remain in our
own lives and we will suffer.
TO attain Buddhahood in this life, the Daishonin warned us with firm
concern that we must never retreat in our practice. Even though we may
experience a period of sadness or depression, the principle that earthly
desires are enlightenment teaches us that great sufferings are bound to
be transformed into equally great joy, progress and value. There is
nothing to fear, since the Gohonzon possesses the infinite power of the
Law and the Buddha.
TIME is given to everyone. Therefore, being able to build a life of
glory, victory and happiness depends on whether you spend your time
meaningfully and free of regret.
