Inheriting Makiguchi and Toda Sensei’s legacy, Ikeda Sensei has taken the further step of stressing the “dignity and sanctity of life” as the spiritual value toward which all humanity should aspire and share.

Mr Makiguchi referred to “major good” as an aspect of the spiritual value that would be realised through spreading the Mystic Law. Mr Toda, meanwhile, espoused “human revolution” for all humankind. Inheriting their legacy, I have taken the further step of stressing the “dignity and sanctity of life” as the spiritual value toward which all humanity should aspire and share.

Kosen-rufu is the most difficult of undertakings. That’s because it involves an inner transformation in people’s lives. Faith in the Mystic Law is a self-motivating force. Steadfast efforts in one-on-one dialogue are indispensable to nurturing that faith in each person, giving them confidence in their potential to change themselves from within.
