"And when you are happy, you should remember that your happiness in this life is nothing but a dream within a dream, and that the only true happiness is that found in the pure land of Eagle Peak, and with that thought in mind, chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Continue your practice without backsliding until the final moment of your life, and when that time comes, behold!"

"Mr. Toda once remarked that we ordinary people living in the Latter Day of the Law need a teaching that transcends the principle of cause and effect of attaining Buddhahood taught by Shakyamuni prior to the essential teaching of the Lotus Sutra and enables us to awaken to our eternal life state of Buddhahood. In response to that need, he said, Nichiren Daishonin established the teaching by which we could, in the reality of our daily lives, break through the principle of attaining Buddhahood based on causes and effects from past lifetimes, return to the life state of Buddhahood within us from time without beginning, and transform our destiny into a bright, positive one.*

"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the one and only 'secret' teaching for attaining Buddhahood in our present form, and the Daishonin says that the 'single word "faith" or "to believe'" (see OTT, 125) is key to accessing that teaching. Strong faith in the Mystic Law is the way to vibrantly tap the life state of Buddhahood.
