I would like to reaffirm the importance of valuing discussion and respecting everyone’s opinions so that all members can contribute freely and fully. Please conduct activities with everyone’s agreement—the leaders and vice leaders and the youth division. This will lead to the most steady and sustainable development.

“If your discussions come to an impasse and you can’t reach a consensus, try chanting together. It’s also important to study the Daishonin’s writings and return to the basics of faith. What matters most is having a faith-driven resolve to align your hearts and unite for kosen-rufu."

As we confront and break through our limitations for the sake of kosen-rufu, our life state will expand tremendously. That will spark fresh energy and momentum in our movement. True growth comes only when we push beyond our limits—that’s when we become more capable. On the other hand, though we may have great potential, if we don’t make full use of it, our ability will fade away.”

“When I was racing around trying to get Mr. Toda’s businesses back on track, I not only held leadership responsibilities in the young men’s division but also served as a district leader, a chapter adviser, and an acting chapter leader.

"In his treatise 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land,' Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'If you care anything about your personal security, you should first of all pray for order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land, should you not?' (WND-1, 24). 'Order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land' means the peace and prosperity of society and the world.

"If religious practitioners shut their eyes to humanity’s most pressing challenges and turn their backs on society, they abandon the fundamental mission of religion—to help people attain happiness. Genuine Nichiren Buddhists throw themselves into our troubled and chaotic world and strive to free people from suffering."

"You must simply make up your mind. Look at the world this year as a mirror. The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair."

"The Renaissance, the period of cultural and artistic rebirth in Europe from the 14th to 16th centuries, was a transformational era in which God, viewed as absolute and reining over all from above, was brought down to the realm of the individual. This led to a rejection of a Church-centred worldview and to calls for liberating the human spirit. What followed, however, was not respect for individual dignity but rather the rise of new forms of external authority. This trend continued for several centuries, with people putting their faith in progress, in institutions, in capital, in science and even in nuclear power. But the value systems built upon such externals had reached a breaking point and were rapidly crumbling, leaving a profound emptiness in people’s lives.

“I believe that the guiding principles for the future must emerge from a religion deeply rooted in people’s hearts. The time has come for us to prioritise inner personal transformation over absolute faith in external authority. Though it may be a modest approach, I see such a ‘second Renaissance’ as a necessary trend of the times. Ordinary people will play the key role in achieving this, and their struggle must begin with changing their own lives.”

"The teachings of Nichiren Buddhism offers the means to make this possible.”

"Now more than ever the world needs to shift from a focus on material wealth to spiritual wealth, from materialism to respect for the dignity of life—a value system embodied

in these words of Nichiren Daishonin: ‘More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all’ (WND-1, 851).

“I am confident that when this value system becomes firmly established in people’s hearts, we will find a way to unravel and resolve humanity’s greatest challenges, no matter how daunting. If inner destruction leads to external destruction, then it is only natural that inner harmony will, in turn, bring about external harmony.”

"Humanity will be able to open new creative paths to resolve even its most complex and difficult problems when people return to the fundamental Law of life taught in Buddhism.
