"How much more effective, then, is the daimoku of the Lotus Sutra, which is the very heart of all the eighty thousand sacred teachings of Buddhism and the eye of all the Buddhas! How can you doubt that by chanting it you can escape from the four evil paths?"

"Kosen-rufu is the challenge to make the realm of the Ceremony in the Air* described in the Lotus Sutra-which depicts the nobility of the state of Buddhahood within all people and the magnificent solidarity of bodhisattvas—a reality in the here and now. It is a realm of compassion, of respect for the dignity of each person, free of discrimination and division, in which everyone's unique qualities can shine. Let us continue to advance steadily towards the realisation of this lofty ideal."

* Ceremony in the Air: One of the three assemblies described in the Lotus Sutra, in which the entire gathering is suspended in space above the saha world. It extends from "The Emergence of the Treasure Tower" (11th) chapter to the "Entrustment" (22nd) chapter. The heart of this ceremony is the emergence of the treasure tower from the earth and Shakyamuni entrusting the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, led by Bodhisattva Superior Practices, with the propagation of the essence of the Lotus Sutra in the evil latter age after his passing.
