The German writer Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) wrote that the more a person matures, the younger she is. And sure there are many people who, as they age, become increasingly active, liberal and tolerant, living with a great sense of freedom and security. It is important to remember that maturation and aging do not necessarily have the same meaning. [...] An indestructible vital energy Regarding people who embrace the Mystic Law, the Daishonin said: You rejuvenate more and your good fortune will accumulate. (MW, vol.V, pág.158.) The teaching of Nichiren is absolutely free of falsehoods. The Lotus Sutra also promises eternal youth and life, declaring that its practitioners do not know the age or death (LS23, pág.288.) Certainly this passage refers to life framed through a persevering Buddhist practice. Shakyamuni said: the cautious people do not die; the people are negligent as if they were dead. 2. This is really true. The constant perseverance - the brave vigorous effort - in our Buddhist practice infuses our lives the grand vital energy of the eternal Buddha. Rather, people who try to make a living through cunning and trickery enact a living death. A keen observer commented that: There are countless people who do not age that completely shaped his life in the Soka Gakkai ... the vital energy that gives many of them exude a tangible sense of the eternal nature of life. In addition to the young people of the heart, SGI also has millions of young admirable. Nothing can cause minimal upheaval to our vivid enthusiasm. This year, with a real youth and boundless energy vital, we will achieve a great victory in the companys activities for kosen-rufu and in our lives again.
