Daisaku Ikeda
I always feel a rising excitement in my heart when the week for discussion meetings comes around each month. I envision the warm light glowing in the windows of meeting places throughout Japan… I wish that I could sit inconspicuously in the back of each room, wholeheartedly applauding and cheering on every speaker.

Daisaku Ikeda
Nothing is ever wasted in our efforts for kosen-rufu. Abandoning our actions to share the Mystic Law because someone’s reaction disheartens us would be the very opposite of compassion.

Daisaku Ikeda
Promoting kosen-rufu isn’t merely about spreading Buddhist ideas and terminology. It means each of us rising to action wherever we are in the world and bravely striving to transform our karma through our practice of Nichiren Buddhism. It is awakening to our noble mission as Bodhisattvas of the Earth and spreading understanding, trust, and joy around us.
