will become Buddhas."*

"'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."
