"The Daishonin was a great person defined by selflessness.
"He risked his life by vehemently remonstrating with the authorities, not for his own sake but for the security and happiness of the people and to build a peaceful society. At the same time, as his letters to Nanjo Tokimitsu show, he embraced each of his disciples with the utmost warmth and concern.
"Both of these actions are expressions of compassion. They embody the spirit of the Lotus Sutra in action and the struggle to establish the correct teaching for the peace of the land. In addition, in his efforts to protect the people, the Daishonin repudiated erroneous teachings that went against the true spirit of Buddhism. And he engaged in a great struggle of words, sharply criticizing the nation's leaders who ignored the people's suffering. He persisted tirelessly in this great cause based on the Buddhist teachings."
