"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."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Society has various different spheres--those devoted to creating things, those that produce economic value or artistic value and even those that prepare for war. Among all these, the Soka Gakkai is a precious realm that, grounded in the correct teachings of Nichiren Buddhism, is dedicated to the happiness and the personal development and growth of people, who are the foundation of all social activity. The mission of spreading Nichiren Buddhism is profound, sublime and on a completely different level from all other realms of human endeavour.
"Our aim is to lead lives that are rich and fulfilling, characterised by respect for the noble dignity of human life. At the same time, we stand resolutely opposed to any action that denigrates people and violates their dignity."
