From Making the Coming Age an Age of Life by Ikeda, Saito, Endo, and Suda Ikeda: With the word Buddha, the image of a supreme being tends to dominate peoples impression; it evokes a feeling of the Buddha being somehow distant and separate from them. The word law, in the sense that it implies a rule or phenomenon, suggests the impersonal. Alone, it does not convey much warmth. Essentially, the Buddha and the Law are not two separate things—the word life encompasses both. All people are endowed with life, and life is immeasurably precious. No one can deny this. The declaration that The Buddha is life itself reveals that the very essence of Buddhism exists in our own lives. —The Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra, Vol. 1, p. 28 #nammyohoblog #kosenrufu #nmrk
