People have listened. Hearts have changed. A highlight of the conference was a message written by SGI President Daisaku Ikeda. I ask that all of you who have gathered today please enjoy your dialogues and encourage one another to your hearts' content, so that you may move forward through building a network of human harmony. Buddhism upholds equality and expounds supreme humanism.
All human beings have equal rights.
There is no difference whatsoever in their inherent dignity. So no matter what you may face, please live with pride, confidence and courage. To live with dignity, we must devote ourselves to chanting daimoku. Through our resolute prayer, we will be stronger, brighter and happier. Please be true to yourself and live free, for you all embody the Mystic Law.
