"The Daishonin clarifies the spirit his disciples need in striving for kosen-rufu. He says they should 'transcend all differences among themselves,' become 'as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim,' and work together 'with the spirit of many in body but one in mind' (ef. WND-1, 217).

"'Transcending all differences among themselves' means eliminating any feelings of discrimination or antagonism. It can also mean making a constant effort to surmount the human tendency towards self-centredness.

"'As inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim' means that we can achieve great things together by respecting one another as irreplaceably precious and by supporting and trusting each other.

"In the phrase 'with the spirit of many in body but one in mind,' 'many in body' means everyone has a unique personality, qualities and circumstances. 'One in mind' means we share a sense of purpose and values. Making the most of our diverse characters and abilities, we encourage one another and work together towards our shared goal of kosen-rufu."

"Who is great in the realm of Nichiren Buddhism? Those who, while battling harassment and oppression, patiently pave the way for kosen-rufu in accord with the Daishonin's writings and give their all to spread the teachings, foster capable people, and gain trust from their community. They work tirelessly for people's happiness, sharing their hardships, shedding tears with them, chanting with them and taking action by their side. Being a priest doesn't make a person great. Neither does being a Soka Gakkai leader."

"The words 'All disciples and lay supporters of Nichiren' (WND-1, 217) can be interpreted as referring to a gathering of true mentors and disciples and the organisation committed to realising kosen-rufu. This is because, without the shared struggle of mentor and disciple, the 'heritage of the ultimate Law of life and death' cannot be properly transmitted. Furthermore, only an organisation of individuals united in the spirit of 'many in body, one in mind' and imbued with the spirit of mentor and disciple can ensure victory in the struggle between the Buddha and devilish functions and open the way to kosen-rufu."

"In life, we are bound to encounter typhoons and other natural disasters. In a sense, we could say that life is a series of trials and hardships. What matters is what we do at those times.

"Do we despair, thinking it's all over, or do we rise up, determined not to be defeated and to overcome the situation no matter what?

"In fact, the true meaning of faith in Nichiren Buddhism lies in building a strong self that is not defeated by any suffering or adversity. I hope that everyone affected by the disaster

will stand up resolutely and continue to impart the light of hope and courage to all around them, undaunted by the challenges they face."
