The main point is to enable one member to stand up by imparting heartfelt assurance and understanding. It is the explosion of faith in the microcosm of an individual that causes the macrocosm of the organization -a gathering of many such individuals - to commence its revolution. This is how the doctrine of a life-moment possesses 3,000 realms applies to our practice.

Any position, honour or wealth we may gain we will possess only during our present existence. But the unshakable state of life we develop through faith in Nam-myoho-renge-kyo represents our greatest spiritual treasure.
A Youthful Diary (p12)
Physically exhausted. Night school begins to seem impossible.
Things seem very hard for Mr Toda, too.
What is your purpose? Religious revolution.
What is religious revolution? The straight road to human happiness.
What are the means to win religious revolution?
Carrying out the supreme philosophy myself.
Grasping and mastering the basis myself.
