"The heart of the Buddha's lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the 'Never Disparaging' chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being."

"'When you shake your head, your hair sways; when your mind begins to work, your body moves. When a strong wind blows, the grass and trees can no longer remain still; when the earth shakes, the seas are atremble. Thus if one can move Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, can the grass and trees fail to respond, can the waters remain calm?'

Thus if one can move Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, can the grass and trees fail to respond, can the waters remain calm?'
– From "Concerning the Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha Fashioned by Nichiren-nyo" (WND–2, 811).
"The power of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is unfathomable. It is the ultimate means for moving everything in a positive direction. If we underestimate its power, we will lose out.
"With a great vow for kosen-rufu, pray and take action—boldly, vigourously and with concrete goals in mind. When we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo for the happiness of others and a peaceful world, our prayers will definitely reach the innate enlightened nature within each person and bring about an inner transformation in their lives.
"Today again, let's start with earnest prayer and courageously create value."
Spreading The Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings, [28] Everything Starts with Prayer, translated from the May 17th, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released July 2021.
