"Nichiren Buddhism teaches the principle of 'cherry, plum, peach and damson blossoms.' It means that just as each of these blossoms has its own beauty, each person is also different. Our faces, bodies, personalities and tastes all vary. That's what makes us special. Because we are all different, we are irreplaceable and precious.

"Sometimes you may wish you were like someone else. But just as cherry blossoms cannot become plum, peach or damson blossoms, others are who they are and you are who you are. The important thing is for you to bring the great flower of your potential to bloom brilliantly in your own unique way."
