-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our local "district" is the starting point
for creating a paradise of
happiness and prosperity.
Let's expand our communities
into peaceful and harmonious
gardens of peaches, cherries, plums
and damsons,
treasuring each person's uniqueness
no matter what!

One should by all means persist in preaching the Lotus Sutra and causing them to hear it. Those who put their faith in it will surely attain Buddhahood, while those who slander it will establish a "poison-drum relationship" with it and will likewise attain Buddhahood.
(How Those Initially Aspiring to the Way Can Attain Buddhahood through the Lotus Sutra - WND-1, page 882)

"On the long journey of kosen-rufu, a way of life dedicated to the shared struggle of mentor and disciple accords exactly with the bodhisattva vow. When we dedicate ourselves to the path of mentor and disciple and our vow as Bodhisattvas of the Earth, we can bring forth from within us the powerful life state of Buddhahood. Our lives will brim with the wisdom, courage and compassion that flow forth limitlessly from this life state."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating The World, [66] The Journey of Mentor and Disciple for Worldwide Kosen-rufu—Creating a Global Network for Peace, The Life-Affirming Philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism, from the October 2020 issue of the Daibyakurenge - the Soka Gakkai's monthly study journal, translation released July 2021
