"Nichiren alone took the lead in carrying out the task of Bodhisattvas of the Earth. He may even be one of them. If Nichiren is to be counted among the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, then so must his disciples and lay supporters."

"The present confrontation has only underscored our conviction that Buddhism is an absolute necessity for our age. The people of the United States, the Soviet Union and Cuba all cherish a desire for peace. They all want to enjoy their lives. Common people and concerned leaders the world over are seriously considering what can be done to eliminate war, how to solve the problem at its root, and what philosophy is needed to achieve that.
"Yet despite this desire for peace, nations succumb to mutual distrust and regard one another with hatred and hostility. This is the reality of our world. How, under such circumstances, can we eliminate all possibility of nuclear war?
"Buddhism holds the only true solution.
"Buddhism teaches that all living beings are Buddhas. It reveals that all people possess the Buddha nature, that oneself and others are inherently endowed with the life force of the Buddha. The philosophy of Buddhism is a magnificent system of thought firmly based on respect for the dignity and sanctity of human life. When this teaching spreads around the world, it surely will act as the most powerful force for preventing war.
"In addition, all who strive in Buddhist faith and practice will cause the life force of the Buddha to well up from within them. With this, they can crush the negative impulses to destroy and slaughter that may exist within their lives. The disaster of nuclear war arises solely from fundamental darkness, the most basic delusion inherent in life. Many negative and evil states of mind arise from that fundamental darkness, including distrust, hate, jealousy, the desire to dominate others and the impulse to kill.
"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo cuts this fundamental darkness off at the root and allows the light of true wisdom—that is, fundamental enlightenment or the inherent Buddha nature—to illuminate our lives and thus transform hate into compassion, destruction into creation and distrust into trust. We also call this human revolution."
