"Each of us, no matter what hardships we may face or what circumstances we may find ourselves in, has a noble mission that only we can fulfill," SGI President Ikeda writes in his essay "Noble Mothers of the SGI." "When we deeply recognize this, everything changes. "We have been born in this world, at this time, to accomplish the great vow we made in the remote past. Our karma is our mission; it is the stage upon which we play out our magnificent drama of transforming adversity into triumph. No matter how difficult or challenging our lives may be, there is no other separate place where we can achieve happiness. That is why it is so important for us to triumph in the place where we are now. "Our Soka Gakkai activities, which are dedicated to the happiness of others and to spreading the teaching of Buddhism, are the royal road to happiness."

"In 'The True Aspect of All Phenomena,' which the Daishonin composed while on Sado, he states: 'Shakyamuni Buddha will enfold in his robe those who nonetheless [in spite of momentous persecution] persevere in propagating [the Lotus Sutra]. Heavenly gods will make them offerings, support them with their shoulders, and carry them on their backs. They possess great roots of goodness and deserve to be great leaders for all living beings' (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, p. 385). "The heavenly deities will resolutely protect all who continue to spread Buddhism as they persevere bravely amid obstacles. Also, no matter what our karma -- no matter what health problems or financial struggles may confront us -- the protective functions of the universe will safeguard us without fail. The Daishonin's promise is ironclad."

"A culture of peace is born as one person stands up, takes courageous action, and engages widely in dialogue," says SGI President Ikeda in part one of his Feb. 5 speech. "Its foundation is empowering each person to the greatest possible extent -- in other words, the human revolution of the individual. "The humanistic SGI organization, I assert, makes this ideal of a culture of peace a reality. Many societal leaders today are deeply pondering how to go about building peace. The SGI leads the world in efforts to actualize this goal. Please be proud of this.
