From the standpoint of eternity, there is hardly any difference between a
"long" and a "short life. Therefore, it's not whether one's is long on short, oe how one lives that is fnspoveeie: It is what we omuich: the degree
to which we develop our state of life, the number ofBekale we help
become happy -- that is what matters.

, Daimoku Sansho Chant "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo" Three Times
Myoho-renge-kyo is the name of the Lotus Sutra in Japanese pronunciation of classical Chinese characters, and so the literal meaning ofNam-myoho-renge-kyo is "I devote myself to the Lotus Sutra" As thefollowing explanation shows, there are deeper levels of
meaning attached to each element of the phrase.
Soka Gakkai International (SGI) is a lay Buddhist movement linking
more than 12 million people in 192 countries and territories around
the world. SGI members integrate their Buddhist practice into their
daily lives, following the Lotus Sutra based teachings ofNichiren, a
:
13 Century Japanese Buddhist priest.
,
Just as the Lotus blooms in a muddy pond, all people can manifest
the Buddha Nature-inner resources of courage, wisdom and
compassion that can equip them to overcome life's challenges and
lead happy andfulfilling lives as "engaged Buddhist" SGI members
aim to create value in any circumstances and contribute to the well-
,
being of others.
:
Their practice sparks a process of ongoing inner-transformation and empowerment known as "human revolution". Tihe promotion of --
peace, culture and education is central to SGI activities.
A great human revolation
will enable a change
