"In a letter to another disciple,* the Daishonin writes: 'I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province. It is stated that "the seeds of Buddhahood sprout [through causation], and for this reason they [the Buddhas] preach the single vehicle [the Lotus Sutra]" [LSOC2, 751' (WND-1, 1117).

"Through our steady efforts to enable one person after another to connect to the teaching of the Mystic Law, we can transform our environment into a Buddha land. We are the agents of change— the ones responsible for this transformation—in line with the Buddhist principle of the oneness of life and its environment."
