"Or it is like the case of a single flame, no bigger than the light of a firefly, which, when applied to a thousand-ri plain of dried grass, in the space of an instant burns first one blade of grass, then two, then ten, a hundred, a thousand and ten thousand, so that the grass and trees over an area of ten or twenty chō are consumed all at once. A dragon who places one small drop of water in its claws and ascends to the heavens can cause rain to fall upon the major world system. When performed as an offering to the Lotus Sutra, even a small act of goodness produces benefits that are equal in magnitude to these."

"The members remained undefeated. Each time they were harassed, they told one another it was a chance to change their karma. They read the Daishonin's golden words 'No matter how many terrible enemies you may encounter, banish all fears and never think of backsliding' (WND-1, 395) and reaffirmed their determination.
..."The truly admirable thing about the members was that they did not retreat a single step despite the intense pressures on them and their livelihoods. They had all experienced benefits such as overcoming illness and family discord since they started chanting and teaching others.
"'Persecution—bring it on! It's just as taught in the Daishonin's writings! It's a sign that our faith is genuine. Now is the time to share Nichiren Buddhism!'—this was their spirit."
