"This year we celebrate the 800th anniversary of Nichiren Daishonin's birth.
"With wondrous synchronicity, we have chosen to be born together at this time and work for worldwide kosen-rufu. When we recognise the profound significance of these karmic ties and the mission we share from the eternal past, the great, invincible courage, wisdom and compassion of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth will not fail to flow forth powerfully in our lives.
"Nichiren Buddhism illuminates the highest summit—the supreme life state that is the key to actualising world peace and lasting happiness, goals that all humanity should unite to achieve—and shows us very clearly how we can reach it.
"The 'darkness of living beings' (LSOC 21, 318) is deeper than ever. Let us, therefore, work even harder to spread the great light of the Buddhism of the Sun throughout our local communities and society, and into the future. Let us spread it widely and unreservedly and with unflagging optimism and warmth, as we persevere in our committed efforts to bring genuine peace and security to the land, to the entire world, through the life affirming principles of Nichiren Buddhism."
