"I, Nichiren, have inscribed my life in sumi ink, so believe in the Gohonzon with your whole heart. The Buddha's will is the Lotus Sutra, but the soul of Nichiren is nothing other than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
("Reply to Kyo'o" WND-1, page 412)

"The Daishonin writes: 'Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood' (WND-1, 283). Our Soka family, reading these golden words together, has triumphantly overcome every form of adversity.

"As we continue to warmly support friends who are struggling with their karma, let us now once again unite, with unwavering resolve, to transform the sufferings of birth, ageing, sickness, and death into profoundly joyful and inspiring stories of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity.
"Let's work together to build an ever-victorious castle of capable people that will endure for all time!"
