"Little streams come together to form the great ocean, and tiny particles of dust accumulate to form Mount Sumeru. When I, Nichiren, first took faith in the Lotus Sutra, I was like a single drop of water or a single particle of dust in all the country of Japan. But later, when two people, three people, ten people, and eventually a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand and a million people come to recite the Lotus Sutra and transmit it to others, then they will form a Mount Sumeru of perfect enlightenment, an ocean of great nirvana."

"Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), who underwent numerous bouts of ill health, sagely observed: 'Illness should be viewed as a natural condition of life.'* In addition, he said: 'No illness can prevent a person from what he has to do;'** and 'a person can fulfil his purpose in life equally as well in illness as in health.'***
