Daisaku Ikeda
Nothing is ever wasted in our efforts for kosen-rufu. Abandoning our actions to share the Mystic Law because someone’s reaction disheartens us would be the very opposite of compassion.

Daisaku Ikeda
Promoting kosen-rufu isn’t merely about spreading Buddhist ideas and terminology. It means each of us rising to action wherever we are in the world and bravely striving to transform our karma through our practice of Nichiren Buddhism. It is awakening to our noble mission as Bodhisattvas of the Earth and spreading understanding, trust, and joy around us. From The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, part 3, revised edition, p. 26
Daisaku Ikeda
Believe that the boundless life state of Buddhahood resides within you, earnestly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, and polish your life—this, the Daishonin teaches, is the only way to free ourselves from suffering and delusion. You are all originally Buddhas. Believe in yourself. From The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, part 1, revised edition, p. 50
