It is the fundamental principle that when we change, the world changes. It is the principle that leads to the concepts of human revolution and establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land. Everything is up to us. We can’t blame others. Everything comes back to us; it’s not about others. If we don’t understand this, we are not upholding the Mystic Law.

President Toda said: “Compassion is the domain of the Buddha. The Daishonin was compassion personified. His love for the people of Japan led him to expound the essence of Buddhism without retreating a single step. Unfazed by numerous great persecutions that included exile to Ito and Sado, and even near-execution, he led a life of tremendous adversity, battling the three powerful enemies head-on. 
“In light of this, we who claim to be the Daishonin’s disciples, regardless if we are poor, uneducated, have low social standing, or whatever hellish circumstances we may be in, must chant daimoku morning and evening with the resolve to acquire even a millionth part of the Daishonin’s compassion. This means exerting ourselves in faith, filling our beings each day with daimoku—the very life of the Daishonin—engraving it in our hearts, and imbuing our lives with it, our aim being to transform every one of our activities into acts of compassion.”

The Daishonin says that the word think in the phrase “At all times I think to myself ” means the “single thought that the Buddhas and all other beings originally possess” (Gosho Zenshu, p. 1368). It is the thought originally and equally inherent in the lives of the Buddha and ordinary people alike. The desire to become happy together with others is the pure and eternal wish of all people. It is the “original spirit” functioning in the depths of our lives. One who is awakened to and who lives in accord with this spirit is a Buddha. The Daishonin lived out his life with this wish, this ideal, this hope.

The Buddha who perceives that his own life is Myoho-renge at the same time perceives that all life is Myoho-renge. All living beings are originally themselves the embodiment of Myoho-renge. That is why the Buddha is filled with a spirit of love and compassion toward all people—a spirit comparable to that of parents toward their children. 
Those who have not awakened to the fact that they are entities of this Law experience various sufferings. The Buddha keenly understands these sufferings as though his or her own children were experiencing them. Sorrow and empathy well from the Buddha’s life. A Buddha is a person of compassion. President Toda said: 
“Compassion is not a Buddhist austerity. It is something that should be expressed unconsciously and naturally in one’s actions and in the workings of one’s heart. The Buddha knows no path of living apart from that of living with compassion. 
“Compassion” consists of two parts: imparting joy to others and relieving others’ suffering. These actions come naturally to the Buddha; they’re not something that requires forced effort. 
Speaking, lending a hand to others, expounding the Law—these are all acts and deeds of compassion. Someone who attains this state of life is hailed as a Buddha and enjoys the respect and trust of everyone.”
