"The moon appears in the west and sheds its light eastward, but the sun rises in the east and casts its rays to the west. The same is true of Buddhism. It spread from west to east in the Former and Middle Days of the Law, but will travel from east to west in the Latter Day."

"The Daishonin states: 'Were they not Bodhisattvas of the Earth, they could not chant the daimoku [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo]' (WND-1, 385). All of us, as Soka Gakkai members, regardless of how long we've practised, are equally noble Bodhisattvas of the Earth—people who have emerged to carry out kosen-rufu in the Latter Day of the Law based on our vow from the remote past."The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [40] For Our Wonderful New Members—Part 1 [of 5,] Becoming Disciples Who Strive Together with Our Mentor, from the August 2018 issue of the Daibyaku Renge, translation released May 2019.
