    In this episode, we will explain the root purpose of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, a philosophy of harmony that recognizes the inherent dignity and worth that we all equally possess.

If we accept each and every individual, then we will be more careful not to harm not only ourselves but also of others.
