"During the Tatsunokuchi Persecution life-threatening event, the Daishonin 'cast off the transient and revealed the true.'
"As he faced the prospect of death for the sake of the Law, he declared: 'What greater joy could there be?' (WND-1, 767).
"Mr. Toda said: 'Summoning forth the great power of faith and cheerfully overcoming all obstacles and expanding our state of life is how we "cast off the transient and reveal the true" day by day and month after month.'
"Today again, let's challenge our human revolution with a fresh, revitalised spirit! Uniting our hearts with friends around the world, let's courageously achieve one victory after another!"
