"We cannot create happiness with a passive attitude, waiting for others to do things for us. With that attitude, if no one helps us, we will end up feeling sorry for ourselves and grow to hate and resent others. This is a cause of unhappiness.

"Nichiren Buddhism is a philosophy of self-reliance, not dependence on others. It empowers us to stand up on our own and open a new way forwards. Doesn't it teach that by changing ourselves, we can change our environment and our society?

When you are so united, even the great desire for widespread propagation can be fulfilled.

"The role of Soka Gakkai leaders is to serve the members, the children of the Buddha, supporting and helping them become happy and attain Buddhahood in this lifetime. This must always be how we think of leadership in the Soka Gakkai. Because leaders work hard and take responsibility for kosen-rufu, the benefit and good fortune they gain through their efforts and Buddhist practice are immense."

"Society today has a strong tendency towards individualism, and people often withdraw and avoid interacting with others. As a result, ties are severed, with people growing increasingly alone.

Under such circumstances, Soka Gakkai members wish for others' happiness and strive to connect with them, serving as a force for bringing people together, reviving their spirits and enriching society."

"If a fierce warrior who is naked advances and overwhelms the great camp of the enemy, while a fierce warrior  fitted with armor and helmet retreats and fails to overwhelm the enemy camp, which is to be judged superior?  Again, we may say that the fierce warrior represents the Lotus Sutra, while the armor and helmet represent the Mahavairochana Sutra."

How do we demonstrate the great power of Buddhism? With actual proof. Overcoming illness, financial hardship, or problems with human relationships are all wonderful examples of proof. At the same time, only our personal transformation and growth through human revolution can fully prove the validity of Nichiren Buddhism.

"A hundred years of practice in the Land of Perfect Bliss cannot compare to the benefit gained from one day's practice in the impure world. Two thousand years of propagating Buddhism during the Former and Middle Days of the Law are inferior to an hour of propagation in the Latter Day of the Law."

"Soka Gakkai members strive to help those who are suffering and experiencing hardships. They do everything they can to encourage them. When they see people having a difficult time, they are moved by compassion and cannot overlook them. This is altruism, a way of life cultivated by dedication to one's mission as a Bodhisattva of the Earth."

"For one who summons up one's faith and chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the profound insight that now is the last moment of one's life, the sutra proclaims: 'When the lives of these persons come to an end, they will be received into the hands of a thousand Buddhas, who will free them from all fear and keep them from falling into the evil paths of existence.'"

"The arena for our activities for kosen-rufu is always the real world. Buddhism does not exist apart from society. That's why we must win in society.

"Towards that end, I hope you will first become people of outstanding character admired by all. With your clear actual proof of human revolution—becoming people everyone likes and trusts—comes the solid development of kosen-rufu. Please keep in mind that we live in a

time when character counts most.

"Our deepening faith will reveal itself in our humanity, expressed in words and actions rich in warm care for others. Such humanity will determine the future of kosen-rufu."
