Lectures On The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life
by Daisaku Ikeda, SGM Publication
"Life and death are the greatest mysteries, and they form the primary focus of religion. Where have we come from and where do we go? Why are human beings born? Are our lives just random events or do they have some greater purpose? What is the meaning of death? Are we merely reduced to meaningless nothingness, as so many people in our modern world vaguely believe? Or are we restored to a luminous immortal "soul," as many time-honored religious traditions of East and West maintain? Or, as Shakyamuni Buddha teaches [in expounding the Middle Way], is it neither?"
"Nichiren Daishonin’s writing "The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life" expounds a matter of ultimate importance relating to life and death. This is also the essential purpose of Buddhism and the foundation of religion. The use of the word "ultimate" suggests the crucial nature of this subject."
