"Those who chant earnestly to the Gohonzon to realise kosen-rufu, and who make steady efforts in faith, even if they find it difficult to talk to people or to enable others to practice, are truly 'practitioners who treasure the law more highly than their own lives.'* They are courageous champions using their precious time to work for the sake of Buddhism and the happiness of others."
