--July 14-- In any field of human endeavour, human beings cannot develop or improve without soume kind of training. This applies all the more so to our Buddhist practice, which constitutes training for becoming a Buddha. We can regard even the most rigorous training with pleasure if we know that it is for attaining an indestructible, diamond-like state of life. All of our prayers and actions for kosen-rufu become the nourishment for our happiness across the three existences as well as the foundation for our eternal glory.
