●President Toda detested formality. And for this reason, as his disciple, I have tried to place foremost emphasis on substance. Formalities are important in certain cases, but mere formality without substance is evil. Formalities in and of themselves have no life, whereas substance is alive. Formality is provisional and substance essential. Formality is conventional and therefore conservative, but substance provides the impetus for progress and development.Daisaku Ikeda

　人ではない。自分である。自分が成長すれば周囲も変わる。自分を見つめず、何を論じ何を行っても、無責任であるし、大きな価値は生めないであろう。
