This teaching must now be disseminated throughout the world. It is not difficult. If humanity hopes to survive, we have only to resolve not to kill others, and to profess faith in the teachings of the Buddha, that is enough. However, the teachings of the Buddha are extremely profound, and a tremendous amount still remains to be taught to this day. The illness of the modern world is serious. Not a single moment can be lost to heal this illness; the stakes are life or death. For such times of crisis, the Lord Buddha left a curative medicine at Rajgir over 2500 years ago.
"I will leave this good medicine here.Nichiren-shonin-sama read this phrase of the Hoke-kyo, and pondered on the way to have everyone take this teaching, this superb medicine. It is the single golden medicine of life. The power of relief was tied to a single word, "Na-Mu Myo-Ho-Ren-Ge-Kyo". The illness of humanity is now very serious. The way that will lead today's world to relief is to chant "Na-Mu Myo-Ho-Ren-Ge-Kyo" to oneself, as well as letting others hear it. The civilization of the East, which is to deliver the world from suffering, is to chant "Na-Mu Myo-Ho-Ren-Ge-Kyo" to the world. However, this is a question concerning the profound mystery of religion. It will not be understood except by those who believe in it; and those who believe in it will gradually increase. Their strength will become the strength to reverse the entire civilization of the West.
Take it and fear not that it might
not cure the illness."
