OF course you are perfectly free
to say what must be said even to your fellows in faith and it is
necessary to do so. But there is a difference between words spoken with
real concern for your listener and those spoken with feelings of hatred
or jealousy. It is extremely important to understand and observe this
distinction.
THERE are various kinds of careers and roles which people fill in
society. While each role, of course, has significance, the fundamental
role that we each play as a Buddhist is that of a philosopher of life
and of humanity who can impart eternal value to humankind. There are
also leaders in all areas of human endeavour. We are leaders of
happiness and creators of peace. In this sense, our role is unique.
SHOULD you lose your pure, innocent heart, and instead develop arrogance
and ugly ambition within yourself, no matter how much you may appear
devoted to faith on the surface, you will never enjoy the benefits of
the Gohonzon. For this reason, I hope you will maintain a pure heart and
live out your most precious existence confidently, as you strive for
the sake of your country.
FAITH includes unfathomable benefits and limitless good fortune; it
contains the great power of the universe, transforming even the land in
which one lives. Faith is the source of infinite joy, wisdom and
compassion. Each of you already possesses this supreme nourishment for
life. All that you have to do is to tap its limitless power.
LIFE is a struggle. Life means continuing to struggle to the end. The
person who grows stronger with each struggle is happy and a true human
being.
