"With a confident laugh, Mr. Toda declared: 'What's wrong with being a gathering of the poor and sick? A real religion reaches out to and helps those who are suffering the most, after all! The Soka Gakkai is the greatest ally of the people.' This lion's roar of my mentor was a great declaration of human rights, a pledge to eradicate the causes of people's misery and misfortune, including poverty, sickness, and conflict.
"Let those who have suffered the most enjoy the greatest happiness! Everyone has the right to become happy. Nichiren Buddhism is the foremost ally of those experiencing the deepest suffering.
"The Soka Gakkai stands forever on the side of the people. This is proof of its commitment to continuing its struggle against the fundamental evil that lies at the root of all human suffering and misery—the tendency to disrespect and devalue life—and to helping all people become happy."
