The Gohonzon exists to enable us to become happy: it exists to enable all people to become happy. It is our mission as Soka Gakkai members to make it possible for people throughout the world to savor fully the benefit of the Buddhism of the sun that Nichiren Daishonin left for us. Each member is a noble emissary of the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law and an emissary of the Gohonzon. Since we are practicing to actualize the aspiration of the Buddha, there can be no more wonderful “memory of our present life in this human world” (cf. WND, 64) than to dedicate ourselves to this mission.

“Only this great teaching will spread throughout the entire land of Jambudvipa” — that is Nichiren Daishonin’s conviction. Today, it is the Soka Gakkai that has made the worldwide spread of this teaching a reality. Isn’t the Buddhism of the sun now rising toward its zenith? The bright sunlight of benefit of Nichiren Buddhism is streaming down upon the entire world. Everywhere you go, people are practicing Nichiren Buddhism. Now is our great opportunity to spread this teaching around the globe. We must not allow this moment to slip by.
Now more than ever I wish that people throughout the world today might savor to their hearts’ content the compassionate light of Buddhism and bring great benefit to bloom in their lives. There is no need to hold back; there is nothing to stand in our way.

Making a vow limitlessly brings forth a person’s latent potential. The Daishonin had vowed to dedicate his life to seeking, protecting and spreading the Law. He lived entirely for the Law. He made the Law accessible to all people. No vow could be greater than this.
When we dedicate ourselves to the Law, our only course is one of wholehearted commitment to the happiness of all people.
During the eighteen years from the time he declared the establishment of his teaching until the Tatsunokuchi Persecution, the Daishonin waged a struggle based on the Law. It was a struggle of selfless dedication to the propagation of the Law without a moment’s rest. These efforts culminated in the Tatsunokuchi Persecution. His life was an example of what it means for an ordinary person to live at one with the Law.

We who uphold the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin base our lives on the great and fundamental law of the universe, that is, the Mystic Law. In addition, through studying the Daishonin’s writings, we can confirm its significance. Nothing is more rewarding than directly connecting with the Mystic Law by following the path of faith, practice and study. It is the only way to establish the eternal happiness described as “boundless joy of the Law.”
