"Human revolution is not something unusual or special. For example, say that one day a boy or girl who is always playing and never studies makes the decision, 'From now on, l'm going to study' or tells themselves, 'I'm going to make efforts for the sake of my future.' When they do that, they are engaging in human revolution.

"Let's say a mother is only concerned about the welfare of her own family. Then, one day, she says to herself: 'There's no way of knowing that our present happiness will continue forever. I'm going to seek a more permanent kind of happiness.' Then, through her Buddhist faith and practice, she becomes a powerful support for her entire family. That's human revolution for that mother.

"Suppose there's a father who only thinks about himself, his own family, and his friends. Then, one day, he decides to take a step beyond that limited realm of concern and reach out with compassion to those who are ill or suffering, to find a way to enable them to lead happy lives. That is the father's human revolution.

"In other words, human revolution is opening your eyes wide and looking beyond your ordinary concerns, striving for and dedicating your actions to something higher, deeper and broader."

The Life Story of Daisaku Ikeda
https://www.daisakuikeda.org/sub/audio-visual/videos/the-life-story-of-daisaku-ikeda1.html
After becoming president of the Soka Gakkai Buddhist organization at the age of 32, Daisaku Ikeda undertook a diverse range of activities in pursuit of peace. In addition to building the Soka Gakkai into a grassroots movement of empowered global citizens, he established the Soka Gakkai International and founded several peace-related institutions. He engaged in dialogues with a broad range of individuals from around the world and undertook citizen diplomacy for the sake of peace.

Before It Is Too Late—Aurelio Peccei and Daisaku Ikeda
https://www.daisakuikeda.org/sub/audio-visual/videos/club-of-rome-peccei.html
Aurelio Peccei, cofounder of The Club of Rome, and Daisaku Ikeda first met in May 1975. Over the next nine years, their discussions and correspondences explored humanity's relationship with itself and with the environment, emphasizing the need for a "human revolution"—a transformative shift in values and actions. Shortly after Peccei's passing in 1984, their dialogues were published as the book Before It Is Too Late.
     This video is part of the "It's Time for a Human Revolution" project, a collaborative effort by the Fifth Element, The Club of Rome and the Soka Gakkai.

"Therefore, those who become Nichiren's disciples and lay believers should realise the profound karmic relationship they share with him and spread the Lotus Sutra as he does. Being known as a votary of the Lotus Sutra is a bitter, yet unavoidable, destiny."

"Prayer is a solemn act that is uniquely human. It is an expression of one's innermost being, its power profound and unfathomable.

"A Lotus Sutra passage states: 'They [practitioners] will enjoy peace and security in their present existence and good circumstances in future existences' (LSOC5, 136). This means that our present situation will improve and we will attain everlasting happiness without fail. Our prayers not only empower us to solve our immediate problems, but also spur our growth and help us lead lives dedicated to the happiness of others.

"This is the fundamental power of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. And it is the purpose of our daily practice of gongyo and chanting daimoku.

"Faith in Nichiren Buddhism does not teach passive reliance on some external power. Rather, through earnest prayer and serious effort, we can bring forth our true inner strength, our unique inherent potential. In so doing, we can improve and develop ourselves."

"It is no exaggeration to say that there are as many opinions as there are people. And it's all the more natural that people of different generations will have differing views about things.

"When organising a discussion meeting, for example, some people may want the meeting to be held on a weeknight, while others prefer an evening on the weekend. Some may ask that it be held on a Sunday morning or afternoon, while others suggest a weekday morning or afternoon. But a decision has to be made, and that means choosing the day and time that suits the majority.

"Once a decision has been reached after discussing it among yourselves, it's important to unite and make the greatest possible efforts to ensure the meeting's success, even if you didn't get your preference."

"Little streams come together to form the great ocean, and tiny particles of dust accumulate to form Mount Sumeru.  When I, Nichiren, first took faith in the Lotus Sutra, I was like a single drop of water or a single particle of dust in all the country of Japan.  But later, when two people, three people, ten people and eventually a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand and a million people come to recite the Lotus Sutra and transmit it to others, then they will form a Mount Sumeru of perfect enlightenment, an ocean of great nirvana."

"Some flowers bloom early while others take their time. Flowers come in all different colours and shapes.

"Nichiren Buddhism teaches the principle of 'cherry, plum, peach and damson blossoms.' It means that just as each of these blossoms has its own beauty, each person is also different. Our faces, bodies, personalities, and tastes all vary. That's what makes us special. Because we are all different, we are irreplaceable and precious.

"Sometimes you may wish you were like someone else. But just as cherry blossoms cannot become plum, peach or damson blossoms, others are who they are and you are who you are. The important thing is for you to bring the great flower of your potential to bloom brilliantly in your own unique way."
