"When one lights a torch for someone at night, one brings light not only to another person but to oneself as well. Likewise, when one livens other people’s complexions, one livens one’s own, too, when one gives them strength, one gives oneself strength, too, when one prolongs their lives, one prolongs one’s own life as well."

"Next, I wish to deeply impress on you that it is unacceptable for leaders to engage in antisocial behaviour or exploit the Soka Gakkai for personal gain. Such actions cause the members great suffering and can seriously set back our movement for kosen-rufu.
“Even if you are personally close to such a leader, you don’t need to condone their behaviour. The Soka Gakkai must remain a sound organisation that can clearly discern when something is wrong and address it appropriately.
"The law of cause and effect that Buddhism teaches is a guiding principle for human life and moral conduct. People may be able to deceive others or hide their wrongdoing, but they can’t escape the workings of this universal law. Every action we take—good or bad, no matter how small—creates a result that comes back to us. As Nichiren Daishonin states: 'Where there is a bad cause, it will produce a bad effect; where there is a good cause, it will produce a good effect' (OTT, 163). Buddhists take this law as the foundation of their lives. That is why, as Soka Gakkai members, we must aim to live with the highest integrity, champion justice and exemplify noble character."
