About The Enlightening Messages Part II: Eternal Buddha in Us, in the World

This booklet is derived from Nichiou Shonin Kyoke Shu, which was originally published by the Oushi-Kai of Butsugenji on June 10, 1989. The translation of the text has been done through permission of the copyright proprietor of the original work.

 

On this blog, we are introducing a bit of the story as quotes.

 

“St. Nichiren is the pillar of Japan. He had the conviction to even say that if Nichiren was lost, the country of Japan would be destroyed. I wish to take his words to heart.

As long as we are living in the country of Japan, shouldn’t we take it upon ourselves to believe the words of St. Nichiren, who sincerely thought about the country, from the bottom of our heart and carry out his teachings to the word?Moreover, St.

Nichiren’s feelings for the country were not a narrow nationalism, but a nationalism that wished to save all living things.

I believe that the mind of the Saint was to spread the Buddha’s intentions to the peoples of the world and save them, with the country of Japan as his foundation.”
