"But your faith alone will determine all these things. A sword is useless in the hands of a coward. The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith. Then one will be as strong as a demon armed with an iron staff."

"In both east and west, all kinds of strategies for victory and success have been studied throughout the ages—from those of renowned military leaders such as Wu Qi, Sun Tzu and Zhuge Liang of China, Alexander the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte, to countless contemporary writers discussing how to succeed in business and life.
"But none of these were a strategy for changing our karma and attaining eternal happiness; for forging solidarity among people from all walks of life and bringing security and prosperity to society; or for elevating the life state of all humanity and positively paving the way to a peaceful and harmonious future in rhythm with the Mystic Law, the fundamental law of the universe.
"It was to achieve these aims that the Daishonin taught us the strategy of the Lotus Sutra."
40th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, Message January 12th 2019, Showing Proof of the Victory of Buddhism, Seikyo Shinbun January 13th, 2019, Translation released February 2019.
