Ikeda Sensei pedalled with members through the narrow streets and alleyways to visit Osaka members.​

One morning, I went to the Sakai area of Osaka. When I got off the Nankai Main Line at Sakai Station, a rosy-cheeked young man was waiting for me with a bicycle. Sakai had several railway lines running north and south through the area — the Nankai Main Line, the Hankai Line, the Nankai Koya Line, and the Hanwa Line — but to travel east and west, a bicycle was more convenient. 

I mounted the bicycle that the young man had readied for me and, guided by several local young men’s division and women’s division members, I pedaled with them through the narrow streets and alleyways. “Here we are!” “This is the house!” the women’s division members would call out as we neared our destinations. I could clearly see that they loved their community and knew it like the back of their hands. Action – action is what counts.
