"The reality of this world, twisted by greed, self-interest, and envy, can be terribly cruel, and people’s hearts can be weak and easily influenced. But if people open their eyes to the truth of Buddhism, they can see something different. They can see that in every person’s life exists an infinitely precious treasure glowing with the light of compassion, courage, and creativity. That is why I believe in people, and why I call on them to make their lives shine like the sun—to break through the rain clouds of suffering and cast a bright rainbow of happiness and peace. This is the aim of our great movement of human revolution."

"You also are a practitioner of the Lotus Sutra, and your faith is like the waxing moon or the rising tide. Be deeply convinced, then, that your illness cannot possibly persist, and that your life cannot fail to be extended! Take care of yourself, and do not burden your mind with grief."
(The Bow and Arrow - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 656)
