Daily Encouragement - Humanitarian Activities

Another example here of SGI's proactive action towards the safety and protection of the land. I'm reminded of the Gosho The Three Kinds of Treasures, where Nichiren Daishonin writes that it is our behavior as human beings that discerns us.

The heart of the Buddha’s lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the “Never Disparaging” chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging’s profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behavior as a human being.

The wise may be called human, but the thoughtless are no more than animals.

Respectfully.

Nichiren
