An Address by the Most Venerable Nichidatsu Fujii,
on the Occasion of an Evening with Grandfather

(June 1982)
Na Mu Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo
I am a follower of a sutra, Na Mu Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo, expounded
by the Lord Buddha, which we have just chanted. The Myo Ho
Ren Ge Kyo (Lotus Sutra) contains a prophecy. It says that there
will come a time when all living beings will be about to be burned
in a total conflagration. The survival, not only of human beings,
but all life, is endangered. Prophecies also exist in the western
world and recently many people read them. However, they
speak to us only of a doomsday for humanity, but nothing of the
world that follows. In other words, it is predicted that humanity
will perish at the end of the 20th century.
The Lotus Sutra says,
"When all the living see, at the kalpa's end;
The conflagration when it is burning;
Tranquil is this realm of mine."
Deliverance will be brought about when the living beings seem
to be burned in the total conflagration. Deliverance will appear
in the hearts and minds of the human beings. Then this realm
of ours will become peaceful and tranquil. This is a prophecy
of the 21st century. We cannot continue living for the day --
within the next twenty years -- on which we will be annihilated.
We must be able to live embracing a future with hope and joy.
Perhaps many doubt whether this is possible, considering the
present threat posed by nuclear weapons. However, we should
dispel this doubt.
A small number of our people walked across the United States
praying to eliminate nuclear weapons and all armaments, and
to prevent war itself. A handful of Japanese people who do
not speak English have received support from Americans
throughout this country. The American people are on the
path of finding a way of survival in their hearts and minds.
The foundation of the Native Americans' religion is faith in
Mother Earth, which brings forth all life. In the Lotus Sutra
there is also a chapter entitled "Springing Up Out of the Earth"
which contains a prophecy that the earth will open and produce
immeasurable people who will relieve the sufferings of the world.
Moreover, the Lotus Sutra expounds on the blessings of heaven.
The chapter, "The Parable of the Herbs", preaches that what
cultivates and fosters the growth of trees and plants which grow
on the earth is rain that comes from heaven. This rain falling down
from the heavens is religion. All life on earth, plants and trees,
will be cultivated by correct religion.
It was not only the American people who accepted the peace
walk against nuclear weapons. The people in Europe have
already accepted it and themselves launched walks and mass
demonstrations which are spreading throughout Europe. This
power will not be suppressed buy politics or violence. The
movement against nuclear weapons that arose in the United
States will not be contained. It is the government which will
be forced to convert the policies. Na Mu Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo
is a sutra that prophesizes this.
