"There are shadows in the darkness, but people cannot discern them. There are trails in the sky where birds fly, but people cannot recognise them. There are paths in the sea along which fish swim, but people cannot perceive them. All people and things of the four continents are reflected in the moon without a single exception, but people cannot see them. But they are visible to the heavenly eye."

"When we look at the history of humanity, it is, in one sense, an unending battle between human beings and illness. We have achieved a great deal in our efforts to promote health and longevity, and many previously incurable illnesses can now be treated. The World Health Organisation's 1980 declaration of the eradication of smallpox shines with special brilliance as one of the great successes of human knowledge and ingenuity.

"But since the sufferings of birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable, our battles against illness will persist. Many Soka Gakkai members have continued to struggle undefeated against the devil of illness and win, demonstrating the dignity and power of their lives while gaining countless precious experiences of victory.

"This way of life based on Nichiren Buddhism is certain to become a beacon of hope for our times. Now more than ever, people are seeking, on the deepest level, a light source of wisdom for health—a philosophy for leading a healthy life in the truest sense."

"The preamble of the UNESCO constitution opens with the famous declaration, 'That since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed. This is an extremely important observation. How, then, do we build defences of peace that are truly lasting?

"Buddhism makes such construction possible, and this is what the Soka Gakkai has been doing in actuality. By sharing the great philosophy of Buddhism with others through one-on-one dialogue, haven't we been building strong and unassailable defenses of peace in the heart of one individual after another? The road to our goal of kosen-rufu may seem incredibly long, but in fact it is the most direct way to the establishment of enduring peace.

"By passing the great Buddhist message of compassion and peace from one friend to the next, we can absolutely guarantee that nuclear war never happens. That is our mission."

"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."

"The Gosho states: 'Our body and mind pervade the universe' (GZ, 412). A strong prayer, an earnest resolve, reaches the farthest corners of the universe. That's why Shin'ichi prayed with all his might for a resolution to the crisis the world was facing. He prayed so as to envelop the entire world with his daimoku."

"When I met with the renowned scholar of political science Glenn Paige (1929-2017), who dedicated himself to the realisation of a 'non-killing society,' we discussed the spirit and actions of Bodhisattva Never Disparaging.

"I explained that Bodhisattva Never Disparaging tenaciously endured both physical and verbal violence and, with a belief in the Buddha nature of all people, continued to respect everyone without disparaging them.

"I commented that it is easy to respond to violence with violence, but that will not put a stop to the cycle of evil. At the same time, silently enduring violence without taking some action to stop it only encourages its growth. Instead, we must fight uncompromisingly, with a strong commitment to nonviolence, against violence of any form that violates human dignity. That is the practice of Buddhism, I said.

"The hearts of those who devote themselves to this struggle to protect the dignity of life resound with a song of victory, I added, affirming my belief that fostering such champions and creating a climate of nonviolence is the way to build the foundation for lasting peace."
