"...you must never think that you are privileged in any way. People who
succumb to that delusion always end up regressing in life and in faith.
"Instead of concerning yourselves with becoming successful or important, I
hope you will strive your hardest behind the scenes and continue to exert
yourselves fully for kosen-rufu. If you polish your abilities, you'll
naturally come to shine. Mr. Toda did not ask us to become professional
clergy. Rather, he called on youth to become leaders who are dedicated to
working for the benefit of society. By that, he meant that we should become
leading figures in various fields and not restrict ourselves to the realm of
religion. The spirit of Buddhism is not narrow or restrictive; its aim is to
establish peace and happiness for all humankind."
