--April 30-- Propagation is the foundation practice in Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism. It is also the essence of the Lotus Sutra. This is corroborated by the Great Teacher T’ien-t’ai of China, who declared: “The Lotus Sutra is the teaching of shakubuku, the refutation of the provisional doctrines.” To boldly speak the truth with compassion for the other person and clarify the correctness or error of the tenets they uphold – this constitutes the practice of propagating the Mystic Law.l Our strength lies in the fact that we champion truth.
