"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If you always seek the easy way
or self-indulgence,
even little things become painful to do.
To all of our young friends,
even little things become painful to do.
To all of our young friends,
our successors with the
profound mission to carry on
our kosen-rufu movement,
I hope that you dare to
take on challenges,
even if they are difficult,
and lead each and every day
and lead each and every day
training yourselves with
both pride and honour!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The fundamental cause of such socially disruptive problems as environmental destruction, famine, disease and war is the pollution or impurity within people's lives that poisons their innate goodness. Transforming and purifying our lives represent the sure path to peace. Practical efforts to achieve this kind of 'human revolution' based on the teachings and principles of Nichiren Buddhism are what form the core of the SGI's movement for peace, education and culture."
