“The highest offering to the Buddha is not to worship something reminiscent
of the Buddha. Rather, it is to inherit the Buddha’s spirit. In
other words, the highest offering lies in struggling to manifest, as one’s own
way of life, even a part of the spirit of the Buddha, who upheld the philosophy
that everyone is a Buddha and tirelessly strove to save all from suffering.”
Daisaku
Ikeda (Buddhism Day by Day, p297)
