ten thousand years and more,

Based on our earnest prayers
and actions
for the sake of the happiness,
peace and security

aiming at creating
the spirit of the times
which respects
the dignity of human life!

"Mr. Toda also said: 'When we share Nichiren Buddhism with someone [even if they do not take faith], trust remains.' Through our patient and tireless efforts to chant and tell others about Nam-myoho-renge-kyo we vanquish fundamental ignorance and attain a state of absolute happiness guided by our enlightened nature. In this way, we can sow the seeds of happiness and hope in the hearts of others."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [58] Creating a Century of Humanism in Which All Can Shine—Part 2 [0f 5], The Practice for Breaking through Fundamental Ignorance, February 2020 issue of Daibyaku Renge, translation released December 2020
