English（翻訳版）

　This page is my original "Ikeda-sensei's speech translation" using my English ability and translation software. I am not confident in its accuracy, but I decided to publish it in the hope that Ikeda Sensei's heart for Kosen-rufu, which spares his life, could be conveyed to people overseas. If there are any mistranslations, it will help me improve my English, so please feel free to point them out. Thank you very much.

“Fighting Optimism”

Buddhist optimism is not “escapist optimism”

that says “it will work out somehow.”

Rather, they face evil as evil and suffering as suffering.

And then, resolutely fight against it.

Believe that you can fight against any kind of evil or hardship.

It's that kind of "fighting optimism".

The one who "doesn't lose" wins

Life should never retreat.

You must not lose.

Not losing is victory.

The person who won't lose to the end won.

The progress of the Soka Gakkai

did not back down against any obstacles.

We moved forward and forward.

That's why we won.

“No matter what happens, never step back”

---This is the spirit of the Gakkai.

He is the only one who can win infinite victories.

Persistent to the end!

In battle,

the one who persists in attacking with tenacity wins.

This is the iron rule.

Attack, attack, attack until the very end.

This is true leadership.

Don't be half-hearted.

Be persist!

A battle can only be won or lost.

Pray, pray, keep praying.

Fight, fight, fight through.

Until you see the result of victory!

Why Soka Gakkai is Strong

Soka Gakkai is strong

because it has always valued one person.

Do not leave the unhappy, the grieving, the afflicted,

Become your best friend,

holding hands together

It's because I overcame it.

In the Gosho, Nichiren Daishonin cared for his disciples,

"I was so worried that I lost my soul"

There is a part that says.

You can feel the boundless compassion of the original Buddha, who thinks of his disciples.

The fundamental spirit of the Soka Gakkai, which inherits the spirit of the Daishonin, is exactly the same.

Still, "Let's get along"

<There, Myoho pulsates>

It is a gathering of human beings as they are.

Some people are difficult to get along with.

Still, "Let's get along."

This is the spirit of Nichiren Buddhism.

The Daishonin is the short-tempered and single-minded Kingo Shijo,

With the night patrols (security guards) who seem to be comrades

Worried about not being able to cooperate,

he is instructed to "try to talk, no matter how much you disagree with each other."

Praying and striving for “Many in Body, One in Mind” itself is a precious training in Buddhism.

Respect each other and move forward together

--Because Myoho pulsates there.

Buddha is an ordinary person.

＜Cherish yourself as you are＞

Buddha is the supreme human being.

It is by no means more than "human".

In that sense, it is not Buddhism to try to make oneself look more than a "human being" as one is.

The original Buddha, Nichiren Daishonin, behaved like a “human being” and an “ordinary person.”

That's why it's great.

The Buddha was also human.

That's why it's great.

In the first year of Koan (1278), Daishonin said, "This year is unusually cold," on Mt. Minobu.

He asked the elders of the land,

It is written that Eighty, ninety, and one hundred year olds are also said to have said, "I've never been this cold in a long time."

With the common people in the mountains,

there is no separation.

"It's cold"

"This has never happened before,"

they are talking peacefully.

This is the world of the original Buddha.
