In another letter, the Daishonin writes: “The sun breaks through the pitch-black dark” and “The Lotus Sutra is compared to the sun” (WND-1, 315). As Soka Gakkai members who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and base our lives on the Mystic Law, a bright sun of hope shines ever in our hearts. We can dispel all darkness and cast off even the heaviest chains of karma.

Each of you is as unique as a cherry, plum, peach, or damson blossom (see OTT, 200), as Nichiren Daishonin explains. Please bloom in the way that only you can.

Daisaku Ikeda

Nichiren Daishonin teaches, “Life is the foremost of all treasures” (WND-1, 1125). I hope that as long as you live, you will always be able to feel in your hearts what a precious treasure life is—more wondrous than all the treasures in the universe. And, please remember, it is the power of faith in the Mystic Law that makes that treasure shine with boundless brilliance.
