"A single individual who has encountered and awakened to the true, great Law then sets forth courageously to take action to benefit others, meeting and engaging in dialogue with other individuals. Never forget that this ripple effect from one person to another is the source of the limitless expansion of kosen-rufu, and that through such steady efforts, the history of kosen-rufu will continue to unfold without end."
