"The Buddha's utterances have become the works that compose the entire body of sutras and bring benefit to all living beings. And among the sutras, the Lotus Sutra is a manifestation in writing of the Thus Come One Shakyamuni's intent; it is his voice set down in written words. Thus the Buddha's heart is embodied in these written words."

"One of the lines in the well-loved boys and girls division song 'Be Brave! With a Lion's Heart!' is 'Your smile is your passport to the world.' Nichiren Daishonin teaches that we should enjoy the challenges we face in our lives.* People who can carry on cheerfully with a smile throughout the four seasons, no matter what happens, will win in the future. They will also be able to make many friends."

"'A great human revolution in just a single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a nation and, further, will enable a change in the destiny of all humankind.' This is the theme I have reiterated for more than half a century in my novels The Human Revolution and The New Human Revolution.

"One person's drama of human revolution, transforming a winter of suffering into a spring of victory, can also usher in a brilliant spring for their family, society, land where they dwell and eventually all humanity. Therefore, by triumphing over your present problems, you will not only achieve victory in your own lives, but also contribute to the happiness and peace of others as well."

"In recent years, there has been much discussion about the importance of 'presenting a narrative,' although this has different interpretations in various fields.

"'Narrative' and 'story' have different meanings: a story doesn't change, regardless of who is recounting it, whereas a narrative is an account of how the narrator feels while experiencing the events and the meanings they attach to them. As such, the same event can produce as many narratives as there are people involved.

"One of the characteristics of the current generation of young people is the stress they place on authenticity in their evaluation of people and organisations. In other words, they place importance on whether they feel someone is being genuine or if they have a hidden agenda.

"That's why, more than a perfectly crafted story, a narrative that reveals a person's genuine self, including their vulnerabilities and failures, while relating their unique real-life experiences, hits home for young people who value authenticity.

"With this in mind, we need to pay attention to whether the experiences and activity reports given in discussion meetings, home visits, personal encouragement and other meetings are narratives or stories. We have tended to focus heavily on results, but when we talk about the process and express our inner thoughts and feelings along the way, listeners will be able to relate to our experiences in a real sense. And even when we haven't achieved tangible results or have not yet met our original goal, there is value to be found in the challenge itself."

"Hiroshi Kainuma, associate professor of the Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies at the University of Tokyo, is a sociologist who has interviewed a number of Soka Gakkai members as part of his study of our tradition of discussion meetings, home visits and personal encouragement. In an article he contributed to the Seikyo Shinbun, he commented: 'The source of the Soka Gakkai's strength is the fact that it holds discussion meetings, which value the very act of people meeting together, as a natural core activity.' He also recognised the great value of home visits and personal encouragement: 'Though the Soka Gakkai encourages as many members as possible to participate in its activities, I don't believe it would have grown to the extent it has if it were not an inclusive organisation that cares equally for those who are unable to attend.'"
