Nichiren Daishonin teaches,
"If the spirit of many in body
but one in mind prevails
among the people,
they will achieve all their goals."*
Unity is the essential point
they will achieve all their goals."*
Unity is the essential point
for triumphant victory.
Encouraging one another,
let's advance together
Encouraging one another,
let's advance together
united in our hearts
to achieve our goals!

"Gandhi said: 'Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his [fellow human beings]';* and '[My activities] all have their rise in my insatiable love of [humankind].'**
"Gandhi took action for the welfare of his fellow citizens. He worked and toiled day and night for the welfare of humanity. He gave his entire life for the happiness and benefit of others. That is why he was great, and also happy.
"'For the sake of others'—those who strive with this spirit are strong. They fear nothing, they have no need to fear.
