Kyoto MD, who has lost his parents at a young age and went through untold suffering and hardship, offered his home as a center for SGI activities, seeing the unfolding of innumerable dramas of human revolution and an unending stream of capable individuals.​

Those who continue to chant Nam-myoho–renge-kyo and strive to realise their vow for kosen-rufu, together with fellow members who act as “good friends” in faith, are certain to lead lives that will be adorned with victory and rich benefit in the end. All over the world, our SGI members have enacted stunning dramas of transforming their lives, inspiring and encouraging countless people. ​

A men’s division member in Kyoto — part of the Kansai area of Japan — lost his parents at a young age, resulting in untold personal suffering and hardship. He and his wife have offered their home as a center for SGI activities for decades, supporting and fostering young members as if they were their own children. He says: “Today again, fellow Bodhisattvas of the Earth will be visiting our home; Buddhas will be coming. Nothing brings me greater joy. I’m so thankful. I deeply treasure them. I’m determined to strive alongside them and triumph!” His home, a wonderful center for SGI activities, has seen the unfolding of innumerable dramas of human revolution and an unending stream of capable individuals who are shouldering the movement in ever-victorious Kansai. He and his wife’s good fortune has flowed on to embrace their children and grandchildren, who are also making wonderful contributions as leaders of our movement and society.  ​

The Law is important, but it is spread by people. That makes the effort to foster capable people the supreme source of unseen virtue—leading to truly immeasurable visible reward.  My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, encouraged members, saying: “Advance steadily and surely. If you strive for kosen-rufu and foster your juniors with more dedication than anyone, you’ll also receive more benefit than anyone!”
