“‘There is no type of ship that can avoid being exposed to violent storms and waves, once it sets out on ocean navigation. Unless it conquers them and continues to advance, it will never be able to reach the wonderful port of its goals. If we, who aim at the “port” of enlightenment, are frightened by storms of difficulty and are defeated by waves of hardship, we will never be able to arrive at the “shor ” of enlightenment. In short, our practice of faith is a constant battle between devils and the Buddha, and the correct road to true peace and happiness is to establish such a powerful state of life that we can surmount any obstacle in our battle.’”
Ikeda sensei
