Daisaku Ikeda

Le cycle de la vie : Perspective bouddhique

World Tribune Press’ new title Stand Up for Hope and Respect! is a collection of brief comments by SGI President Ikeda from his series “Humanistic Teachings for Victory.” Through the series, he sought to convey the Soka Gakkai spirit to youth members by touching on various aspects of faith and practice, and drawing on his own experiences in life and faith. Peace does not exist in some distant place. It begins with us. It starts with becoming friends with another person. Youth have always been the ones sacrificed in war. That’s why it’s crucial for youth to strive vigorously for peace, for you to forge a growing network of youth committed to peace. I would like you, my friends, with the power of youth, to create a society free from the brutality of war, a world where everyone can feel glad to have been born and enjoy a happy life. Peace is something that we must strive for and achieve. Kosen-rufu is nothing other than the highest expression of peace. Nichiren Daishonin writes, “All people have the Buddha nature” (“The Fourteen Slanders,” The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 1, p. 756). Everyone possesses the supremely noble life state of Buddhahood. Respecting one another is the truest way to peace. That’s why it’s so important for young people to share this great life-affirming philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism with other youth.
