"'I don't need anything else -- all I hope for are capable people!' This was the constant cry of my mentor Josei Toda in his final years. I share exactly the same sentiments. The foundation of worldwide kosen-rufu has been firmly established. The rest depends on able individuals.
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'The correct teaching can be propagated only by a person of wisdom' (WND-1, 752). Whether in a country, a society, or an organisation, it's people who count, who make the difference. Groups that develop a solid corps of capable individuals are the ones that succeed."

"Little streams come together to form the great ocean, and tiny particles of dust accumulate to form Mount Sumeru. When I, Nichiren, first took faith in the Lotus Sutra, I was like a single drop of water or a single particle of dust in all the country of Japan. But later, when two people, three people, ten people, and eventually a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, and a million people come to recite the Lotus Sutra and transmit it to others, then they will form a Mount Sumeru of perfect enlightenment, and an ocean of great nirvana. Seek no other path by which to attain Buddhahood!"
