Sensei shares on the opening of the eyes:
In my mind, i can hear daishonin calling out vigorously to his followers:"if you are not going to fight now, then when will you fight? MY followers, stand up with courage! If you fight with the heart of the liong king, you can expiate all past offences and transform your karma! let us lead to enlightenment even the icchantikas who persecute us, and help free humankind from fundamental darkness.

2008 Peace Proposal
In his 2008 peace proposal issued today (January 26, 2008) to commemorate the anniversary of the SGI's founding in 1975, SGI President Daisaku Ikeda calls for the humanization of religion as one path toward peace.Commenting that the current trend towards fundamentalism is found not only in the religious sphere, but also in excessive attachment to national or ethnic identity and even to market principles, Mr. Ikeda stresses the need to put the human being at the center of all issues. He identifies dialogue as key in combating fanaticism, mistrust and dogmatism. More details at:http://www.daisakuikeda.org/index.php?mid=resources&sub=works&sub2=proposals&quid=8

-words-
Frogs in the pond croak all day and night till they are hoarse.
Yet passers-by take no notice and crush them beneath their feet.
The cock crows only a few times at day break, but the whole world will wake and begin their day.
It is useless to say much; rather learn and be wise so that even a word from you will be of value. Let us all lead a value creating live . Shall we .

-sensei guidance-
"The daimoku chanted by those who exert themselves bravely and vigorously for the cause of kosen-rufu -even if only just one daimoku-has more benefit and power than 1000, or 10 000 daimoku chanted without any goal or accompanying action. Having faith that is dedicated to kosen-rufu is what counts. "

The power of chanting
Hi npsdian, i was catching up on my reading when i came across this words. Will engrave this words into my heart. Hope you all will like it too.
"Even though one neither reads nor studies the sutra, chanting the title alone is a source of tremendous good fortune. The sutra teaches that women, evil men, and those in the realms of Animality and Hell-in fact, all people of the Ten worlds- can attain Buddhahood. We can comprehend this when we remember that fire can produced from a stone taken from the bottom of a river, and a candle can light up a palce that has been dark for billions of years. If even the most ordinary things of the world are such wonders, then how much more wondrous is the power of the Mystic Law."

Let's chant to make the impossible possible. Remember, it is not immpossible, rather, it is I-m-possible.
