"What is the purpose of life?
The purpose of life lies in the pursuit of happiness.
The whole of human affairs is ultimately aimed at producing value. How much value we obtain determines how happy we are.
Ultimately, value lies in the nature of the relationship between our lives and the surrounding environment.
'Value' actually consists of beauty, gain and good.
Beauty, gain and good compose positive value, ugliness, loss, and evil are negative values.
Positive value is the substance of human happiness, and negative value of unhappiness. This outlined Makiguchi Sensei's THE PHILOSOPHY OF VALUE."
To be happy, we need a religion that works. You could call such a religion the true motivating forces of daily life. Nichiren Daishonin risked his life to teach this principle. Real happiness is as strong, pure and lasting as a diamond, but we cannot achieve it just through our own will. We need an object to focus on, that will bring out the life of Buddhahood from within us. The object is the Gohonzon.
By chanting to the Gohonzon(the entity of the Mystic Law,) the power of the Mystic Law can change ugliness into beauty, loss into gain and evil into good and bring out the eternal life of Buddha from within ourselves. Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, appeared in this world to make this possible!"
