"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, often said: 'Human revolution means continually progressing and developing a happy life. It means becoming happy ourselves and helping others do the same.' Buddhism exists for the happiness of all people. The happiness that Buddhism urges us to obtain is not derived from vanity or outward appearances. Rather, it is an indestructible state of absolute happiness realised by allowing the brilliant sunlight of our noble Buddha nature to shine forth and the lotus flower of the Mystic Law to bloom fully in our lives. All of you epitomise this vibrant state of life."

"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddhalands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."
