"All the Buddhas of the ten directions and three existences gathered at the Ceremony in the Air to entrust kosen-rufu in the Latter Day of the Law to capable successors.
"The mentors and disciples of Soka embody the very essence of the Lotus Sutra. By returning to our vow from time without beginning, we can bring forth infinite power. Let's forge ahead in our journey to widely spread the Mystic Law, always respecting and encouraging one another along the way."

"'At the Ceremony in the Air, when the Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions gathered together, the two Buddhas, Shakyamuni and Many Treasures, nodded in agreement. What they decided on was nothing other than the perpetuation of the Law throughout the Latter Day.'
- From "The True Aspect of All Phenomena," (WND-1, 385).
"Today, youth division members around the world are carrying on the mission of 'perpetuating the Law,' that is ensuring the transmission of the Mystic Law into the eternal future. I am certain that Second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda would also be delighted to see the vibrant efforts of these youthful Bodhisattvas of the Earth.
