Our Prayers for Kosen-rufu Envelop the Entire World

Words of Encouragement From Ikeda Sensei

Great evil portends the arrival of great good. If all of Jambudvipa [the entire world] were to be thrown into chaos, there could be no doubt that [the Lotus Sutra would] “be widely propagated throughout Jambudvipa” [The Lotus Sutra and Its Opening and Closing Sutras, p. 363].

“The Kalpa of Decrease,” The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 1, p. 1122


Nichiren Daishonin opened the way for all people to reveal the supreme life state of Buddhahood. Faith in the Mystic Law enables us to overcome any obstacle. Proof of this is found in the examples of human revolution achieved by the members of our Soka family.

Worldwide kosen-rufu is about each country and the world as a whole transforming great evil into great good. Our network of young Bodhisattvas of the Earth now spans the entire globe. With our prayers infused with our vow for kosen-rufu enveloping the world, let’s continue in our efforts to change the destiny of all humankind.

Translated from the October 9, 2020 Seikyo Shimbun, the Soka Gakkai’s daily newspaper.
