"Mr. Toda had the highest praise for members who were sharing Buddhism with others. He said: 'Always honour those spreading the Mystic Law and taking part in Soka Gakkai activities, because they are putting the essence of Nichiren Buddhism into practice.'
"Warmly encouraging members who were finding it hard to introduce others to the practice, he said: 'Don't worry. The benefit you gain when you talk to someone about Buddhism, whether they start practising right away or not, is the same. The time will come when your efforts will bear fruit, so keep on sewing seeds.'"
