"'The voice carries out the work of the Buddha' (OTT, 4). Each member's efforts to sincerely communicate our message to one person after another contribute to helping others form joy-filled connections to Buddhism. Bravely speaking up has the power to dispel devilish functions or negative influences that cause unhappiness. Sharing our philosophy with patience and perseverance lays the groundwork for building a realm of peace and prosperity that embodies the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.'
