| It is written in Buddhist lore that the udumbara flower blooms only once every three thousand years. |
| I respect everyone deeply. I do not despise anyone, not even a little, or look down on anyone with contempt, because everyone has the capacity to become a Buddha of Namu-myoho-renge-kyo, if they believe in Namu-myoho-renge-kyo and practice. Bodhisattva Jofukyo |

The true path of life lies in the affairs of this world. . . To have a profound knowledge of this world is itself Buddhism. Nichiren Daishonin: The Gift of Rice |
Discrimination is man's most cunning and ugliest life of Hell. It cannot be punished by others and cured, and it cannot heal if I do not notice it. The teaching of Nichiren Daishonin, that all lives are equal, and all life is qualified to be Buddha, is the key to overcoming the life of man's most cunning and ugliest Hell.
