"Our faith in the Mystic Law and our Soka Gakkai activities are the ultimate driving force for building in each person's heart a 'strong fortress of respect for the dignity of life' that will never fall in the face of any trial or adversity in our lives or society.

"Our faith in the Mystic Law and our Soka Gakkai activities are the ultimate driving force for building in each person's heart a 'strong fortress of respect for the dignity of life' that will never fall in the face of any trial or adversity in our lives or society.
"The Daishonin writes: 'When with our mouths we chant the Mystic Law (Nam-myoho-renge-kyo), our Buddha nature, being summoned, will invariably emerge. The Buddha nature of Brahma and Shakra (the two main guardian deities of Buddhism), being called, will protect us, and the Buddha nature of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, being summoned, will rejoice.' (WND-1, 887).
"Precisely because we live in such troubled times, let's work even harder to expand our grassroots network for peace based on the humanistic principles of Nichiren Buddhism, and make our jubilant daimoku for the happiness of ourselves and others resound vibrantly!"
