"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

"The human heart is unfathomable. It is fickle and constantly changing. From moment to moment, our inner state of mind changes. We experience various emotions—joy, sorrow, anger, pain. Life, too, is full of changes. That is why, for countless centuries and millennia, humanity has pondered the fundamental question of what constitutes the best and surest way to lasting happiness.

"Nichiren Daishonin revealed a fundamental solution to this ultimate problem of human

existence. He taught that through chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to the Gohonzon, we

could break through any karma and establish an inner state of absolute happiness.

"The Daishonin states: 'Now when Nichiren and his followers believe in and accept Nam-

myoho-renge-kyo [as the fundamental means for the enlightenment of all people], they are

gaining possession of a great precious jewel; in the words of the "Belief and Understanding"

chapter [of the Lotus Sutra], "This cluster of unsurpassed jewels / has come to us unsought"

[LSOC4, 124]' (OTT, 55). The 'great precious jewel' of the Mystic Law is the most valuable of

treasures.

"I sincerely respect all of you, lofty emissaries of the Buddha who possess this 'great precious jewel.'"
