"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."

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.

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."

"The ability to engage in dialogue is one of the most outstanding human attributes. Dialogue expresses our humanity.

"Through talking with one another, hearts open, mutual understanding develops, and friendship spreads.

"True dialogue is not putting on a facade and spouting empty, flowery rhetoric. Dialogue is interacting life to life, just as we are, as fellow human beings, with sincerity, conviction and patience.

"A Buddhist sage1 once said: 'The voice carries out the work of the Buddha' (WND-2, 57). The Lotus Sutra—extolled as 'the king of sutras'—is a dialogue among Shakyamuni Buddha and his disciples. Nichiren Daishonin wrote his treatise 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land' as a dialogue between a host and a guest. Dialogue has the power to encourage and engender hope. It is a wellspring of courage and a fresh breeze of revitalisation. It is a bridge connecting people’s hearts.

“Having a spirit of peace is not something complicated or difficult. Getting along with your friends, greeting people cheerfully, saying ‘Thank you,’ and reaching out to someone who could use some help-all of these actions contain the spirit of peace. The more you make an effort to do these things, the more you are contributing to a peaceful world, starting from where you are.”

"Even the darkness becomes bright when a lantern is lit, and even muddy water becomes clear when the moon shines on it. Can anything exceed the sun and moon in brightness? Can anything surpass the lotus flower in purity? The Lotus Sutra is the sun and moon and the lotus flower. Therefore it is called the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law. Nichiren, too, is like the sun and moon and the lotus flower."

"Buddhism values dialogue. This is the exact opposite of demanding people's obedience through religious power or authority. Shakyamuni also used dialogue as a means of teaching, and Nichiren Daishonin, too, placed the highest importance on dialogue. Our Soka Gakkai discussion meetings have inherited that spirit."
