"In the eighth volume of Great Concentration and Insight and in the eighth volume of The Annotations on 'Great Concentration and Insight' it says, 'The stronger one's faith, the greater the protection of the gods.' This means that the protection of the gods depends on the strength of one's faith. The Lotus Sutra is a fine sword, but its might depends on the one who wields it."

"Lotus Sutra states: 'This sutra is hard to uphold' (LSOC, 220). Those who embrace its teachings will inevitably face hardships.

"Without battling obstacles, one cannot attain Buddhahood. It would be a shame not to gain a diamond-like body, for it is a source of unsurpassed, absolute happiness. No matter what happens, one will shine like a diamond, be filled with joy and stand firm with unshakable dignity. I hope that every one of you, without exception, will achieve that. That is the purpose of our Buddhist practice, our faith and all our efforts."
