"The Venerable Maudgalyāyana put his faith in the Lotus Sutra, which is the greatest good there is, and thus not only did he himself attain Buddhahood, but his father and mother did so as well. And, amazing as it may seem, all the fathers and mothers of the preceding seven generations and the seven generations that followed, indeed, of countless lifetimes before and after, were able to become Buddhas."

We, the members of the Soka family, are dedicated to realising the great vow for kosen-rufu based on the firm conviction that our lives embody the Mystic Law and we will never be defeated. There is no obstacle that we cannot surmount."
