"SGI President Ikeda says the following: Nichiren Daishonin writes, “When it comes to studying the teachings of Buddhism, one must first learn to understand the time” (“The Selection of the
Time,” The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 1, p. 538). To keenly recognize the right time, seize it and take the best course of action with courage and wisdom—that is the creed of practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism . . . Ours is a time when conflict and violence fill the world. But that is also precisely the time, the Daishonin asserts, to widely spread the great life-affirming teachings of Buddhism throughout the entire globe. (Dec. 11, 2015, World Tribune, p. 2)
Together with our mentor, President Ikeda, let’s generate waves of courage and compassion throughout the United States in 2016, and create a fresh momentum for peace and respect for all life."
