Buddhism is a matter of proof, without proof, it’s just abstract theory. Now I’d like to pass on the baton of this mission and honor shared by mentor and disciple to the members of the youth division…​

Buddhahood is manifested at every moment in the lives of those who take action based on the great vow of mentor and disciple. SGI activities, in which we exert ourselves wholeheartedly “day by day and month after month” (WND-1, 997), are the modern-day equivalent of “diligent practice.” As members of the SGI, all of you are noble and actively engaged Bodhisattvas of the Earth in whom the expansive life-state that is eternally endowed with the “three Buddha bodies” vigorously pulses “instant after instant.”​

“Buddhism is a matter of proof. Without proof, it’s just abstract theory.” Now I’d like to pass on the baton of this mission and honour shared by mentor and disciple to the members of the youth division.
