SGI's "unshakeable happiness" doctrine

Kosen Rufu is the widespread propagation of the Lotus Sutra. It is not spreading Ikedaism, unshakable happiness, social or political activism, or world peace. The Lotus Sutra chapter 16 teaches, "It is not as the Three Worlds see the Three Worlds. In such a matter as this, the Tathagata sees clearly and is without error." It is not as those of the past, present, and future see the past, present, and future, for example, the world burning up. This very moment and life is the Eternal Pure Land of the Buddha where the Buddha goes about spreading the Lotus Sutra. Unshakable happiness is the Buddhism of the True Effect [Buddhism of the Harvest]. We practice the Buddhism of the True Cause [Buddhism of the Sowing] whether we are happy or sad. Only a Buddha with a Buddha can exhaustively penetrate the reality of Namu Myoho renge kyo.
