人と花、海と星 -記録だけになった昨今-

　 Last July, I wrote a short article titled "What Man Needs: Science (Interest), Religion (Goodness), and Art (Beauty)," and I briefly explained the following points: Science must be for the benefit of humanity. Therefore, "nuclear weaponization" cannot be the subject of research. Religion should be the standard of right and wrong. Therefore, there can be no religion that affirms warfare (murderousness). Art should provide people with a glimpse into the depths of the world (universe) in which they live and the state of their own lives. Despite all the suffering in their lifetime, it should give them motivation to live (Japanese).
　Civilization grows through confronting and responding to the challenges of trials. Life is no different. We face challenges that frequently assail us, and we must rise to the occasion, confront them, and overcome them. By achieving victory, we shape our lives. Through this process, individuals become stronger, and that resilient strength becomes an essential force and an effective weapon for facing the next trial.
　 My driving force to win that constant battle is always chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to the Gohonzon every day and every time, as I mentioned last month.
