- From "Flowering and Bearing Grain," (WND-1, 909).
"We are fellow members linked by ties of mission throughout the three existences of past, present, and future.
"When we chant, study, and take action together, our unity deepens. A network of people committed to working for kosen-rufu as they share each other's joys and sorrows is the driving force for surmounting and triumphing over the sufferings of birth and death."
