"... although Nichiren and his followers are few, because they are different in body, but united in mind, they will definitely accomplish their great mission of widely propagating the Lotus Sutra."

"The Daishonin concluded one of his letter to the lay priest of Ko and his wife, the lay nun of Ko—disciples who lived on faraway Sado Island, 'No place is secure. Be convinced that Buddhahood is the final abode' (WND-1, 491). Where is our final abode, our sweet home, our safe haven? It is here. It is within us. The state of Buddhahood that we bring forth in our own lives is our eternal safe haven.

"External circumstances do not determine our peace of mind. No matter how wonderful a home we may live in, if we are sad and lonely, we cannot be said to be at ease or leading a happy life. Even if our present circumstances are good, there is no guarantee that they will continue that way forever. Only the 'palace' of peace and security that we build within our own life through our Buddhist practice is eternal."
