Ikeda Sensei has already exemplified, through his life, on how one should practise the way of the mentor and disciple. What further excuses do we have, to not become the “remarkable disciples” that our mentor is calling for?​

In Ikeda Sensei’s publication “New Horizons Eastern Humanism with Tu Weiming”, he wrote:​

“…people who can be revered as the four world sages ‐ Shakyamuni, Confucius, Socrates, and Jesus ‐ were not recognised by the masses in their times. They have come to be regarded as great teachers of humanity because of their disciples’ efforts to propagate their teachings and prove their true value. Moreover, it is observed that the disciples’ struggle tends to take a few generations.”​

President Ikeda has already exemplified, through his life, on how one should practise the way of the mentor and disciple. What further excuses do we have, to not become the “remarkable disciples” that our mentor is calling for?
