"Nichiren's disciples, like Nichiren himself, should invariably practise the correct principles. Even though one may be a wise man or a scholar, if he falls into hell, he will amount to nothing and can be of no assistance. The essential thing, therefore, is that at each hour, at each moment, one should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

"Kosen-rufu isn't something we undertake because we're ordered to. Without a pure initiative of our own, we cannot break through the obstacles and devilish functions in our path or attain the life state of Buddhahood. Even such terms as the 'Buddha's decree' or 'Buddha's wish' only have meaning if there are disciples willing to stand up with the same vow as the Buddha. Our own will and initiative are the essence of Buddhist faith and practice. The Buddha's wish is realised when disciples filled with determination and commitment stand up and overcome all obstacles. The ultimate expression of this is standalone faith."
