"This life is like a dream. One cannot be sure that one will live until tomorrow. However wretched a beggar you might become, never disgrace the Lotus Sutra. Since it will be the same in any event, do not betray grief. Just as you have written in your letter, you must act and speak without the least servility. If you try to curry favour, the situation will only worsen."
(A Warning against Begrudging One's Fief
- WND, Vol. 1, page 824)

"Mr. Toda stated:
* The Japanese kanji is available by
'[The mission of Soka Gakkai members as emissaries of the Buddha] is to elevate all people to the life state of Buddhahood—in other words, elevate the character of all humankind to the highest level. How can we accomplish this? That is a very difficult question. But unless we can find the answer, there will be no hope for true happiness on our planet. If all humankind can be elevated to the life state of Buddhahood, be made to reveal their highest character, war and famine would disappear, epidemics and poverty would be eradicated. Helping all human beings become Buddhas—that is, express their highest character—is to carry out the "Thus Come One's work" (LSOC10, 200).'
"Mr. Toda's profound insight was that 'elevating the character of all humankind' is the key to solving every problem humanity faces. His vision extended to our world today."
