"The Daishonin always urged his followers to engage in dialogue and develop the unity of 'many in body, one in mind.' He writes: 'Even a stranger, if you open up your heart to him, may be willing to lay down his life for you' (WND-1, 444); and 'Be sure to urge all those in Suruga to remain united in their faith!' (WND-2, 572). He also said: 'You should always talk with each other to free yourselves from the sufferings of birth and death and attain the pure land of Eagle Peak, where you will nod to each other and speak in one mind' (WND-1, 909)."
