"I have launched the battle between the provisional and the true teachings. Donning the armour of endurance and girding myself with the sword of the wonderful teaching. I have raised the banner of the five characters of Myho-renge-kyo, the heart of the entire eight volumes of the Lotus Sutra."
("On Practicing the Buddha's Teachings", WND-l page 392)

"Nichiren Buddhism—with its complete view of life and its eternal nature encompassing the three existences of past, present and future--provides a sound explanation of life's meaning. It also shows us the way to sever the chains of karma holding us back and lead a joyous life as we walk the great path of our mission.
"This means dedicating ourselves to fulfilling our noble vow as Bodhisattvas of the Earth. It means striving for the happiness of ourselves and others and expanding the Soka Gakkai's grassroots network of ordinary people, with the resolve to bring peace and security to society and the world."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [38] A Compass Guiding us to Lives Brimming with Joy and Pride, Serving Human Happiness, June 2018 issue of Daibyaku-renge, the Soka Gakkai monthly journal. Translation released March 2019.
