Nov 13, 2018 To My Friends

Buddhism teaches that
“the phantom city is identical
with the treasure land.”(*)
Let’s work toward reaching our goal
with all our might!
The challenging spirit to exert ourselves
will lead our lives to shine with the
supreme life condition of happiness!

(*)OTT, p. 72
The phantom city indicates the three vehicles of voice-hearers, cause-awakened ones, and bodhisattvas, and the treasure land is the one vehicle of Buddhahood.

Tentative translation of “To My Friends” published in the Seikyo Shimbun, based on President Ikeda’s recent guidance.
