The British philosopher Bertrand Russell acutely exposed the ethical ruin of the Nuclear Age. Russell, noting that our world has germinated strange concepts and distorted morality regarding security, pointed out the irony of a world in which weapons are precious things securely kept, while children are exposed to the danger of nuclear incineration.
That we take pains to protect weapons while we expose children - the future of the race - to peril is impermissible. To ignore this absurdity will spell defeat for humanity. We must not live to destroy. We have the spiritual power to create peace and happiness.
Daisaku Ikeda ‘Choose Hope’ p5

More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!"
(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 851)

Buddhism regards all existence in the universe as life, recognising that everything, including trees and rocks and even the tiniest grain of sand, inherently possesses the life-state of Buddhahood, and as such, is infinitely noble and precious.
Daisaku Ikeda ‘The New Human Revolution’ vol.15 p22

The first thing is to pray. From the moment we begin to pray, things start moving. The darker the night, the closer the dawn. From the moment we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with a deep and powerful resolve, the sun begins to rise in our hearts. Hope - prayer is the sun of hope. To chant each time we face a problem, overcoming it and elevating our life-condition as a result - this is the path of “changing earthly desires into enlightenment,” taught in Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism.

Nichiren Daishonin observes, “When you bow to a mirror, the reflected image bows back.” [Gosho Zenshu p.769]. People who respect others are respected by others in turn........our environment is essentially a reflection of ourselves.
