"Speaking of the boundless and immeasurable benefits we receive through our faith in the Gohonzon, Mr. Toda used to say that all our experiences have meaning in the realm of faith. In time we will realise with profound appreciation that nothing was wasted and everything had a purpose. From the early days of our organisation until now, countless members have experienced this personally and can testify to its truth. Such actual proof demonstrated by members across the globe speaks volumes of the validity and profundity of Nichiren Buddhism.

"That is why maintaining faith is so important.
"Viewed in the long term, we come to see that our prayers are always answered. When we look back later, we can fully appreciate the experiences we've had, realising that we achieved even more than we aimed for and that all of our struggles helped us to understand the sufferings of others."
