"Ikeda: Human revolution is a contemporary expression for the attainment of Buddahood for the individual, while an all-embracing revolution refers to kosen-rufu.""The relationship between the two resembles that of the rotation and revolution of the Earth, which, while rotating on it own axis simultaneously orbit the sun. The Earth's rotation on its axis produces day and night, while its movement around the sun produces the four seasons."
"Bathed in the light of the Buddhist Law, we also experience night and day in the course of creating our own history and human revolution toward limitless improvement. We experience winter and spring as we continue to play out the exciting drama of kosen-rufu through the changing seasons, the Soak Gakkai begins an ends with the philosophy set forth by Mr. Toda; its essence lies in his realization that the Buddha is life itself."
