"When our mind-the inner focus of our lives—is devoted to and based on Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the fundamental Law of the universe, we can live each moment to the fullest and convert the sufferings of birth and death into nirvana. This is the Soka family's path, imbued with the four virtues of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity.*"
