THE essence of Nichiren
Daishonin’s Buddhism is to chant daimoku encompassing practice both for
oneself and others, and lead all humanity to peace and happiness in the
Latter Day of the Law and for all eternity. This means chanting with the
spirit to help people become happy and advancing with faith that is
directed towards realising kosen-rufu in actual society.
AN organisation dedicated to good enhances people’s capacity to work for
good and promotes unlimited growth and self-improvement. It does not
hinder people’s progress or lead them astray. It supports people’s self
improvement, putting them on a sure course to happiness and personal
growth. And it is for this purpose that our organisation exists.
THE spirit to be concerned about the welfare of one’s friends is the
spirit of the bodhisattva. Our dedicated actions for the sake of others
are all transformed into our own treasures. When we make an ongoing
commitment to work for the sake of others, we are able to lead fulfilled
lives and expand our state of life.
WHEN we worship the Gohonzon, the eternal life of time without beginning
wells up within us. For one who believes in the Gohonzon, every day,
every instant begins from time without beginning. We are always setting
out, full of hope, from today to the future, from this moment to eternal
happiness. We are always young, always beginning.
ONE’S faith can be said to be perfect only when it is supported with
sincere abundant daimoku and courageous action for others and
kosen-rufu. In this sense I want you to be deeply convinced that your
day-and-night efforts in activities for the happiness of others are
exactly in tune with the supreme and universal principle of Buddhism.
