"Thus you should understand that so long as a practitioner of the Lotus Sutra remains unwavering in faith, free of all false alliances, entrusting themself wholeheartedly to the Lotus Sutra and practising in accordance with the Buddha’s golden words, they will without fail be able to prevent disaster and prolong their life in this present existence, to say nothing of in the life to come. Splendid recompense will be theirs, and they will fulfil their great vow to broadly proclaim and propagate the Lotus Sutra."

"Politics, economics and science all originally seek human happiness, but they primarily focus on external factors such as social systems and living conditions. Religion, in contrast, concentrates on finding happiness within. It can be said that human happiness depends on developing both a solid inner foundation and favourable external conditions.


“Human beings create and develop all institutions, systems and fields of learning. Reforming our societies therefore hinges on reforming the hearts of human beings, the protagonists of change. I believe this is the role of the higher religions, especially Buddhism."

"I believe it is important to recognise that we human beings, the ones making the decisions, are defined by uncertainty, full of contradictions and inner conflict, our minds changing moment by moment. Therefore, I consider it vital for us to elevate our humanity and grow as human beings so that we can always make sound decisions. To do that, we need a universal philosophy of life that enables us to realise such inner growth, and we of the Soka Gakkai have found that in the teachings of Buddhism.


“In short, we can describe the correct teaching of Buddhism as the fundamental Law, eternal and unchanging, that permeates all phenomena and the universe. We possess within us an inexhaustible font of wisdom, and Buddhism teaches how we can uncover and tap it. We call the process of unlocking our potential rooted in this law of life ‘human revolution.’

"In contrast, although Nichiren and his followers are few, because they are different in body, but united in mind, they will definitely accomplish their great mission of widely propagating the Lotus Sutra. Though evils may be numerous, they cannot prevail over a single great truth, just as many raging fires are quenched by a single shower of rain. This principle also holds true with Nichiren and his followers."

“Nichiren Buddhism gives us the power to ride out life's rough waves. The path to building indestructible happiness is found on the front lines of Soka Gakkai activities. Our dedicated efforts for kosen-rufu bring us precious good fortune, each step we take along the way enabling us to transform our karma and open the way to a life of happiness and joy.

But no matter how convinced Shin'ichi was of the superiority of the Buddhist teachings and how unshakable his faith in them, for them to be broadly accessible to the public he knew it was essential that scholars come to validate and appreciate their greatness, too. Without efforts to win public support, a religion will easily lapse into dogmatism and self righteousness.

"Suppose a lion has a hundred cubs. When the lion king sees its cubs attacked by other beasts or birds of prey, he roars; the hundred cubs will then feel emboldened, and the heads of those other beasts and birds of prey will be split into seven pieces. The Lotus Sutra is like the lion king, who rules over all other animals. A woman who embraces the lion king of the Lotus Sutra never fears any of the beasts of hell or of the realms of hungry spirits and animals."

"Marriage is a lifelong commitment to share each other's joys and sorrows. We never know what kind of destiny we may confront or what challenges lie ahead. For couples to overcome such obstacles, it is of course important for them to love and care for one another; but it is also important for them to advance with a common purpose based on a foundation of shared philosophy and core beliefs.


"When both partners practice Nichiren Buddhism, I hope they will strive to build a relationship of mutual support and inspiration in which each can polish their faith and character.”
