Faith is not dependent on ceremonies and formalities.
It is a struggle to transform our very being.

It is our efforts to pray for and help another person to become happy that represent the foremost popular movement and that directly contribute to the creation of a truly democratic society.

To effort prayers is to conduct a dialogue, an exchange, with the universe.

Therefore, we know that the prayers offered by a practitioner of the Lotus Sutra will be answered just as an echo answer a sound.--Nichiren

For people who embrace Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, to worry about friends and pray for their happiness comes naturally.
We should not forget just how noble such efforts are.
