"No matter how some priests may malign the Soka Gakkai, which side is right is already clear.
"Right is to work for kosen-rufu in accord with the Daishonin's teachings. It is to carry out that challenging task in the real world.
"Talk is cheap. But in 20 or 30 years, how far will the priests attacking the Soka Gakkai have advanced kosen-rufu? Priests
'possessed by evil demons' (see LSOC13, 233) can never achieve kosen-rufu.
"History will prove who is right. Those who create a steady flow of kosen-rufu are on the side of truth and justice."
