Every sincere and noble effort towards kosen rufu

"It is beautiful when people can get along and work well together. Buddhism is a teaching of cooperation and harmony. This spirit is articulated as 'many in body, one in mind,' and is the Soka Gakkai's foremost treasure.
"To talk behind others' backs, to gripe and complain, and to plot and scheme—such behaviour points to selfishness and ego. It points to prejudice and narrow-mindedness, and it leads to the gravest of offences in Buddhism—that of disrupting the harmonious community of practitioners.
"I hope that, should a problem or disagreement arise, the parties involved will talk about it directly until they resolve it to everyone's satisfaction. The ideal path of a harmonious Buddhist organisation is to advance together, always wisely and always based on faith."
SGI Newsletter No. 9604, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 3: Kosen-rufu and World Peace, Chapter 23: The Unity of "Many in Body, One in Mind"—Part 2 [of 2], Working Together in Harmony Is Beautiful, from the December 2016 issue of the Daibyaku-renge, translation released 2nd May, 2017
