"Nichiren Daishonin boldly proclaimed: 'I will be the pillar of Japan. I will be the eyes of Japan. I will be the great ship of Japan" (WND-1, 280-81).

"Inspired by the Daishonin's great conviction, President Toda declared: 'Today, the Soka Gakkai is the pillar of Japan!'

"The authorities of the Kamakura military government tried to bring down the Daishonin, the 'pillar of Japan.' At the time of the Tatsunokuchi Persecution, which resulted in the Daishonin's exile to Sado Island, the de facto ruler Hei no Saemon-no-jo led several hundred armed warriors to arrest him alone.

"The entire country treated the Daishonin as if he were the most heinous villain, yet he declared to his captors 'in a loud voice': 'How amusing! Look at Hei no Saemon gone mad!

You gentlemen have just toppled the pillar of Japan' (WND-1, 766). His words convey his towering conviction.

"We live in troubled and uncertain times. The Soka Gakkai is the world's only hope.

"Leading thinkers around the world have affirmed this. With this great awareness, let us stand up and demonstrate the true power of our Buddhist practice as genuine disciples of the Daishonin!"
