“Many in body, one in mind” is not something as superficial as just getting along well together. The “mind” in question is the mind or spirit to believe wholeheartedly in the Gohonzon, to never stray from the example of Nichiren Daishonin’s life, and to forge ahead tirelessly with our fellow practitioners to the very end. This unwavering faith is the “mind” of “many in body, one in mind.”

I’d like you to become people with big hearts—people who remain strong and unshaken no matter what happens and who, rather than focusing on themselves, are concerned with helping and imparting hope to others. This is the purpose of our Buddhist practice. From The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, part 3, revised edition, p 186
