Mr. Toda declared with absolute conviction, “If practicing this Buddhism doesn’t make you happy, I will give you my life!” If we cannot help real, living people, no matter how deep their despair, then this Buddhism is a lie. Mr. Toda continued, with all his might, to touch people’s lives and awaken in them a powerful and invincible courage to take on any adversity.

Daisaku Ikeda

In most cases, by simply interacting with others as true friends and communicating sincerely and openly, we will help them form a connection with Buddhism. It is also important that we continue to pray for the happiness of those individuals. Later, we may have an opportunity to talk to them in a very natural way about our Buddhism of sowing.
