Keep moving forward, even one or two steps, in your own way. Those who live out their lives to the fullest, unperturbed by the noisy clamor around them, are the true winners.

We use our voices not only to chant daimoku but to guide, encourage and introduce others to Nichiren Buddhism. Our voice, therefore, is very important. An angry voice, a coarse voice, a cold voice, an imperious voice–none of these will communicate how wonderful Nichiren Buddhism is. I would like you to be humanistic leaders who can encourage others with bright warm voices, so that they will say, “What a lovely voice!” and “I’m always so inspired when I hear you speak.” Becoming this kind of leader is one actual proof of your human revolution.
