"At the end of The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings section on the 'Emerging from the Earth' chapter, the Daishonin states that the single word 'belief' or 'faith' is  key to upholding and spreading the Mystic Law.

"He also says: 'The single word "belief" [or faith] is the sharp sword with which one confronts and overcomes fundamental darkness or ignorance' (OTT, 119-20). To vanquish the fundamental ignorance that gives rise to distrust and disrespect, belief in our own and others' Buddha nature is absolutely essential.

"As Soka Gakkai members, we actively reach out in dialogue, believing not only in our Buddha nature but also that of others. Our efforts shine with the supreme conviction that all people deserve respect and have a profound mission."
