"The Daishonin referred to disciples of steadfast faith as sages and worthies. He treated them as his equals, bestowing, I believe, the most honourable titles on them because of their nobility as human beings. The Daishonin didn't praise people because they were learned or had an exalted position in society. A person's level of learning has nothing to do with their faith, and we must never discriminate against anyone on that basis. It is evident from his writings that this was not the Daishonin's spirit. As the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, he bestowed the title of 'Sage' on an ordinary woman (cf. WND-1, 325). This is a crucial point to remember. If this point is lost sight of, the Gakkai will descend into ruin.

"Employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra before any other. 'All others who bear you enmity or malice will likewise be wiped out.' These golden words will never prove false."
