Kosen-rufu is the supreme summit for humankind, the most meaningful and noble ideal. It is also the most realistic ideal, one that is most urgently needed by society and the times. Dedicate your youth and your life, fully and without reservation, to the great ideal of kosen-rufu.

I have triumphed. I have not been beaten. A disciple must resolutely triumph. This is the essence of Nichiren Buddhism. It is also the essence of the Soka Gakkai and the heart of the spirit of the oneness of mentor and disciple. August 24, the anniversary of the day I took faith, is a day on which I renew my determination for kosen-rufu. August 2017 Living Buddhism, p. 23
