Nichiren Daishonin discusses the meaning of the Chinese characters for the word benefit(Jpn kudoku), as follows: "The ku of kudoku means to extinguish evil and dokumeans to bring forth good" (Gosho Zenshu, p. 762). We fight against those who try to destroy the True Law. That struggle purifies us and brings forth benefits in our lives. Justice or happiness without a battle is just an illusion. Thinking that happiness means a life free of hard work and effort is fantasy.
