"'It is the power of the Buddhist Law that enables the deities of the sun and moon to make the rounds of the four continents.'

– From 'Consecrating an Image of Shakyamuni Buddha' 
(WND–1, 685).

"We who dedicate our lives to spreading the Mystic Law can bring forth the most colossal life force in rhythm with the universe. Therefore, 'no prayer will go unanswered' (cf. WND–1, 345).

"Our prayers and actions to help all people become happy and realise thriving societies—the essence of Nichiren Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land' —are one with the compassionate workings of the universe. With our lives, shining brightly, like the sun and moon, let's joyfully, continue to expand our movement greatly, determined to illuminate our planet."

Goals set by ourselves

"But a person's heart may change with the times, and the nature of a thing may alter with its surroundings. Just as the moon on the water will be tossed about by the waves, or the soldiers in the vanguard will be cowed b y the swords of the enemy, so, although at this moment you may say you believe in my words, I fear that later you will forget them completely."

"How we advance kosen-rufu depends on the area. For instance, the lives and relationships of people in densely populated urban centres differ from those in remote mountain villages or islands. We have to account for such differences as we consider how to promote understanding of Nichiren Buddhism and carry out Soka Gakkai activities.

"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province' (WND–1, 1117). Spreading Nichiren Buddhism in each area is the responsibility of Soka Gakkai members living there."

"This is similar to a tarnished mirror that will shine like a jewel when polished. A mind now clouded by the illusions of the innate darkness of life is like a tarnished mirror, but when polished, it is sure to become like a clear mirror, reflecting the essential nature of phenomena and the true aspect of reality."

King Chou of Yin lead seven hundred thousand soldiers into battle against King Wu of Chou and his eight hundred men. Yet King Chou's army lost because of disunity [lit. one in body, many in mind], while King Wu's men defeated him because of perfect unity [lit. many in body, one in mind].

From "Many in Body, One in Mind" (WND–1, 618).

"The unity of Soka is unity in diversity—'many in body, one in mind,' not 'one in body, many in mind.' That's why it is strong. United in one heart to realise the great vow for kosen-rufu, we support one another to display our unique qualities and strive to form genuine, positive connections with others. Such ongoing efforts are a powerful driving force for victory.

"Warmly, encouraging each other and 'transcending all differences among ourselves' (cf. WND–1, 217), let's forge ahead, boldly and surmount, even the greatest challenges! Our movement, united in the spirit of 'many in body, one in mind' offers a hope-filled model of harmonious coexistence for all humanity."

"I responded to the effect: 'Leaders must exercise caution and resolve to win in every struggle. Optimism without that spirit is the mark of a leader who doesn't really give serious thought to people's feelings. True optimism is to keep on smiling and pressing forwards courageously for kosen-rufu, for people's happiness and victory, even when you're maligned or encounter obstacles.'"

"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."

Chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, that's the only way. Those who chant win—that's the teaching of Nichiren Buddhism. 

"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'The fundamental nature of enlightenment manifests itself as [the protective gods of Buddhism] Brahma and Shakra" (WND–1, 1113).

"If we continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, our fundamentally enlightened nature, or Buddhahood, will shine brightly within our lives and we will develop a state of life that enables us to win in everything. And the workings of Brahma and Shakra, positive functions of the universe, will emerge to guide us and others to happiness."

"Each of us has our own painful battles with karma. In the course of our unsparing, untold efforts in life and kosen-rufu, we may face the sufferings of illness, ageing and the loss of loved ones. But we have taken to heart the Daishonin's message 'Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life' (WND–1, 283). As champions of unwavering, steadfast faith, we are certain to transform even the most challenging karma and savour the brilliant triumph of attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime, in accord with the Buddhist principle of 'lessening karmic retribution.'"

All disciples and lay supporters of Nichiren should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of many in body but one in mind, transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim.

"There are times when a prudent, flexible response is called for, just as when Bodhisattva Never Disparaging ran to safety when people tried to attack him with sticks and stones. But even after putting some distance between him and his attackers, he would turn towards them and loudly recite the 24-character Lotus Sutra, expressing his respect for all people.

As his example illustrates, unshakeable conviction and unremitting faith in the universal potential for Budhahood is the very essence of bodhisattvas who have vowed to lead all people to enlightenment. Genuine bodhisattvas never give up. They keep trying until they succeed. They strive to fulfil their mission, determined to create a world where all people can lead victorious lives."
