"Now, no matter what, strive in faith and be known as a votary of the Lotus Sutra, and remain my disciple for the rest of your life. If you are of the same mind as Nichiren, you must be a Bodhisattva of the Earth."

"How should we, Mr. Toda's disciples, realise the ideals set forth in his Declaration? I will mention some key points. The first, naturally, is that Nichiren Daishonin's great philosophy, teaching as it does the nobility and supreme value of life and the oneness of life's spiritual and physical aspects, is the philosophy that can make the abolition of nuclear weapons a reality.
"I am convinced that the only essential way to rid our world of nuclear arms is by making the ideals and principles of the Daishonin's Buddhism known throughout the world. I declare here and now that the elimination of nuclear weapons will only become possible when a citadel of peace is built in the heart of every individual, when each person is committed to the dignity and sanctity of life.
"The second point has to do with the kind of movement necessary to achieve a transformation in each individual. We saw how opposing factions of the Japan Council Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs caused an uproar at the eighth World Congress Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs held in Tokyo. We cannot look to such politicised groups to bring an end to the use of nuclear weaponry. We need a movement that transcends ideology and politics, that concentrates on awakening and changing individuals at the most profound level of life itself.
"So although spreading the teachings of humanism through one-on-one dialogue may seem like a circuitous route, sharing the philosophy of Buddhism with others is in fact the most meaningful action we can take towards abolishing nuclear weapons."
