The true meaning of attaining enlightenment is beyond the realm of ordinary wisdom. For example, when we are facing painful difficulties, it is next to impossible to believe that we will be able to attain enlightenment. On the other hand, when basking in momentary peace and comfort, Buddhahood or enlightenment seems unnecessary. In both times of suffering and times of ease, we tend to lose our aspiration to attain Buddhahood.

The Lotus Sutra teaches that all people can attain Buddhahood. Moreover, it states this not merely as doctrine or theory. The sutra explains the immensely compassionate practice of the Buddha who yearns to actualize this principle, and the mission of bodhisattvas who struggle to carry on this great wish after the Buddha’s passing.
The principle of the universal enlightenment of all people that the Lotus Sutra so thoroughly expounds is truly difficult to believe and understand. This is because the teaching that enables all to attain enlightenment, namely the Mystic Law, is, according to the sutra itself, “difficult to understand and difficult to enter” (LS2, 23). The Mystic Law can only be grasped through the profound and boundless wisdom of the Buddha.

The Daishonin encountered persecution because he had strenuously asserted that the Lotus Sutra is the teaching for relieving the suffering of the people of the Latter Day of the Law and enabling them to become happy. It was certainly not because he had committed any secular wrongdoing. The Daishonin risked his life to strongly proclaim the correct teaching, and this frightened other religious figures, and created a deep sense of unease among those comfortable with old religious customs and traditions. This manifested as an outpouring of anger and jealousy toward him.
The Daishonin states that the persecutions he faced were “for the sake of the Lotus Sutra.” In other words, they came about because he had staked his life on spreading the Lotus Sutra.

​In response to this lion’s roar of President Toda, I also stood up, as did one youth after another. As a result, we have built the Soka Gakkai into the organization it is today.
Now it is the youth of the twenty-first century’s turn to roar the lion’s roar. If youth throughout the globe stand up and form an inspiring network of roaring lions, the SGI of the twenty-first century will be secure, and their emergence will be a source of great hope for the world of the twenty-first century.
