Most Venerable Nichidatsu Fujii

“The saha world, this very world in which we live, is a place where life is born and nurtured. It was never meant to be a place where all creation is reduced to ashes. ‘This realm of mine’ is inherently tranquil. Humankind, born to this world, by nature, seeks joy and aspires to create peace. We were not born to seek ruin or to commit murder and destruction. This nature (of humanity) is what makes a spiritual remedy efficacious (to heal suffering brought on by our contemporary, highly materialistic civilization).”

-The Most Venerable Nichidatsu Fujii
