-- DAILY GOSHO --
"Therefore, I entreat the people of this country: Do not look down upon my disciples! If you inquire into their past, you will find that they are great bodhisattvas who have given alms to Buddhas over a period of eight hundred thousand million kalpas, and who have carried out practices under Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Hiranyavatī and Ganges rivers. And if we speak of the future, they will be endowed with the benefit of the fiftieth person, surpassing that of one who gave alms to innumerable living beings for a period of eighty years. They are like an infant emperor wrapped in swaddling clothes, or a great dragon who has just been born. Do not despise them! Do not look on them with contempt!"

and the Five Stages of Practice

"Our founding president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi often declared: 'Give me a single lion over a thousand sheep!' He taught that 'a single courageous person committed to great good will be able to accomplish great things.' Just one individual with the spirit to stand alone is absolutely crucial."
