"Those who abandon their practice of the Daishonin's Buddhism after the slightest bit of criticism or attack are not people of genuine faith. Such behaviour is truly regrettable. Mr. Toda emphasised the need for members to have courage in order for the development of kosen-rufu to progress. Today's SGI was built by people who, just as Mr. Toda strictly instructed, maintained their faith amid the many tough struggles we encountered over the years.
"Please never abandon your faith. Courage is crucial. Let us not be fainthearted. Courage will win the respect of our partners, our children, our friends, and society at large. The Daishonin declares: 'Nichiren's disciples cannot accomplish anything if they are cowardly' (WND-1, 481). This was also what Mr. Toda taught."
