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
