"I wonder if you and I have not been pledged to each other as teacher and
disciple from countless kalpas in the past. You and I have been born
together in this defiled age of the Latter Day of the Law, in the country of Japan in the southern continent of Jambudvīpa, and with the utmost reverence we chant with our mouths Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the ultimate reason for which the Buddhas appear in the world; we
believe in it in our hearts, embrace it with our bodies, and delight in
it with our hands. Has all of this not come about solely because of some bond of karma we share from the past?"
(Reply to Sairen-bō - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 309)

"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, once said: 'When the links in a chain are solidly connected, they cannot be broken. It's the same with human beings. When strongly committed people solidly join hands and unite, kosen-rufu will definitely advance. Please create such a united network of people.'"
