"Today there are people who have faith in the Lotus Sutra. The belief of some is like fire while that of others is like water. When the former listen to the teachings, their passion flares up like fire, but as time goes on, they tend to discard their faith. To have faith like water means to believe continuously without ever regressing."

"The Daishonin took his disciples' doubts and questions seriously, clearly dispelling them one by one and helping each disciple deepen their conviction in faith.
"Backed by documentary, theoretical and actual proof, his teachings can withstand any question. He declares: 'So long as persons of wisdom do not prove my teachings to be false, I will never yield!' (WND-1, 280). Incidentally, Mr. Makiguchi underlined this passage in the copy of the Daishonin's writings he always kept with him."
