Material possessions cannot be enjoyed after death. But millionaires rich in life force are able to freely make use of the treasures of the universe in lifetime after lifetime and enjoy a journey of eternal happiness. That is what constitutes proof of true victory in life.

The Lotus Sutra offers a secret means for leading all living beings to Buddhahood. It leads one person in the realm of hell, one person in the realm of hungry spirits, and thus one person in each of the nine realms of existence to Buddhahood, and thereby the way is opened for all living beings to attain Buddhahood.
Letter to Horen
Written to Soya Kyoshin in April 1275
Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Sunday, April 15, 2012
Life and death are one, and the entity of our existence is eternal, persisting throughout past, present and future. The setting sun, radiant with joy, gives proof of its undiminished power and at the same time offers a promise of a bright tomorrow. Bringing our lives to a wonderful, satisfying close guarantees us the path to happiness throughout eternity.
Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (1954) p.204
A meeting to plan upcoming guidance and direction was conducted in the second president's room. The participants' views and opinions did not mesh. A problem. Would like to see the directorate develop a step further. If the senior leaders fail to develop their life-condition, how can their juniors feel any joy and happiness?
Live powerfully, to become an ally of people of the future. Fight powerfully, to become the friend of sincere and honest people. Advance powerfully, to break through conservatism and create reform.
