"When you shake your head, your hair sways; when your mind begins to work, your body moves. When a strong wind blows, the grass and trees can no longer remain still; when the earth shakes, the seas are atremble. Thus if one can move Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, can the grass and trees fail to respond, can the waters remain calm?"
(Concerning the Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Life is a treasure tower. It's scale is as vast as the universe.
"Life is weightier than the Earth; each individual is more important than the nation. This conviction is the foundation for our humanism.
"We are engaged in the work of building great treasure towers of respect for the dignity of life, throughout society and the world. Through our movement, we are not only spreading the philosophy of respect for the dignity of life but actually helping one person after another reveal their precious inner treasure tower shining with nobility and happiness. There is no undertaking more sacred.
"Each Soka Gakkai member is an emissary of the Buddha carrying out the Buddha's work."
The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 3: Kosen-rufu and World Peace, 28.2 Treasure Towers of respect for the Dignity of Life, July 14th, 1991, from the Oct. 2017 Daibyaku Renge, translation released August 2018
