"Nichiren Buddhism is a religion for the happiness of the people. It is a religion that enables us to discover the supreme value that resides within us, the infinite vastness of our being that encompasses the universe and the strength not to give in to authoritarianism. It is a religion of human revolution that makes people strong, good and wise."

"In 1975, 30 years after the horror of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I visited Hiroshima and presented a proposal calling for the elimination of nuclear weapons, which threaten the very survival of the human race. In it, I declared: 'The social role and mission of the Soka Gakkai is to engage in a spiritual struggle, arising from the innermost depths of our beings, against such external forces as violence and political and economic oppression that violate the dignity of human life.'*

"This spiritual struggle against the devilish nature of authority is a hands-on effort we must wage together with the people.

"My proposal continued: 'The task of trying to get our message to each individual is, at a glance, far from glamorous; it requires steadfast, tenacious efforts. Great endeavours always take time. The cultivating work of realising our highest potential and helping others do the same through one-to-one inspiration cannot be achieved overnight. But that is precisely why those efforts will result in people's lives shining with indestructible brilliance, undimmed by the harshest trials.'

"This 'one-to-one inspiration' and 'the cultivating work of realising our full potential and helping others do the same' could be called the very essence of our practice as Bodhisattvas of the Earth.

"Mr. Toda taught that the only way to change society is to change people. Society will only improve if people improve, he said. The global spread of our groundbreaking movement for human revolution will elevate the life state of all humanity."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [79] Advancing on the Great path of Kosen-rufu with Unwavering Lifelong Courage, Inspiring Others with Our Lives, October 2021, Daibyaku-renge, translation released June 2022.

*  From a speech at a Soka Gakkai Headquarters general meeting held in Hiroshima on November 9th, 1975. In it, President Ikeda urged members to spread throughout the world the message of Josei Toda's "Declaration Calling for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons," as a fundamental guide for the elimination of such weapons of mass destruction. He also proposed holding meetings of international leaders on this issue and ensuring monitoring of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

"When one comes to realise and see that each thing—the cherry, the plum, the peach, the damson—in its own entity, without undergoing any change, possesses the eternally endowed three bodies, then this is what is meant by the word ryō, 'to include' or all-inclusive.  Now Nichiren and his followers, who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, are the original possessors of these eternally endowed three bodies."

"I've met a great many people and found that among those who stopped practising, most had fallen prey to arrogance. Arrogance makes us self- centred and unable to work in unity with others; it eventually causes us to be a destructive force in the organisation for kosen-rufu. I say this for your sake, because I want you to be victorious in faith."
