After stepping down from the presidency in 1979, I relaunched my struggle, starting with one home visit at a time, and now the great people’s movement of the Soka Gakkai has grown to embrace the entire world. ​

My personal way of repaying my debt of gratitude to my sincere fellow members was to fight rigorously to protect them from those who betrayed the Gakkai. I believed that my struggle would clearly demonstrate the integrity and truth of the Gakkai, an organisation of the highest good. ​

​My visits to the homes of pioneering members continued. I also spoke warmly with their children and their little grandchildren.​
My 200th home visit was to Shoichi Tanaka, who had worked so hard alongside me during our campaign in Tokyo’s Bunkyo Ward [in the 1950s]. ​
My 300th home visit was to a couple who were pioneering members in Kanagawa Prefecture. I had learned that the wife was ill, and I stopped by to offer my wishes for her recovery. ​
My 500th home visit was to a courageous family in Ehime Prefecture [in the Shikoku region] who had endured persecution at the hands of the local priests. That visit took place on a cold day in February 1985.​
