Everything depends on the strength of our faith. When we have strong faith, our life itself becomes a “cluster of blessings” (WND-1, 832), which is how the Daishonin describes the Gohonzon. He further states, “This Gohonzon also is found only in the two characters for faith” (WND-1, 832). From The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, part 1, revised edition, p. 59
Daisaku Ikeda
Reality is harsh. Please courageously challenge the stern realities of life and win, and win again, in everything—in daily life, work, school, and family relations. The teachings of Buddhism and our practice of faith are the driving force for unlimited improvement. From The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, part 1, revised edition, p. 6
Daisaku Ikeda
You are chanting daimoku for the happiness of others and the realization of kosen-rufu. You are engaging in Soka Gakkai activities and striving to share Nichiren Buddhism with those around you. Such prayers and actions are themselves expressions of your vow for kosen-rufu.
