there is no such thing as an impasse.
With such conviction and intensity

"In the verse section of the 'Life Span' chapter of the Lotus Sutra, that we recite during gongyo, Shakyamuni says that his constant thought as he preaches the Law, is how he can enable all living beings to 'quickly acquire the body of a Buddha' (LSOC16, 273) – that is, attain enlightenment.

"In The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, the Daishonin says that the words 'quickly acquire the body of a Buddha" have the same meaning as the phrase from the 'Bodhisattva Never Disparaging' chapter, 'you are all certain to attain Buddhahood' [LSOC20, 309] (OTT, 161).
"Morning and evening, aligning our hearts with the Daishonin, we pray for the enlightenment of all people and reaffirm our mission as Bodhisattvas of the Earth, through our unwavering commitment to share Buddhism with others. That is why our gathering of human flowers, of treasure towers, has spread around the world."
