"The path of worldwide kosen-rufu is by no means easy. We have at times suffered criticism, abuse and even persecution due to people's prejudice or lack of understanding. But my comrades in the shared struggle have always been united with me in spirit and, undaunted by any hardship or adversity, have courageously dedicated their lives to kosen-rufu with perseverance and fortitude.
"My mentor observed: 'You cannot succeed in kosen-rufu without dauntless courage,' and 'those who forge ahead with dauntless, courageous resolve will win the highest praises of Nichiren Daishonin and be deserving of boundless benefits."
