The more and more I chant, I realize the debt of gratitude I owe to you. Thankyou so much sensei for every daimoku you have chanted for the people around the world who were eagerly waiting to be saved.
The days I don’t feel confident about myself, I remember you. The love and confidence you show in us (your own Ikeda Kayokais) is the source of joy and courage to me.
I will always walk on the path of mentor and disciple and never ever forsake my vow.
Sensei! Your vow is my vow
I made my first EVER tangible connection to Sensei Daisaku Ikeda X-mas day and was overwhelmed with such intense gratitude that I was blubbering like a baby. I guess 62 years is not long at all in the scheme of infinity
I am determined to be a worthy example of Sensei's life and achievements and find like-minded bodhisattvas wherever this life takes me and share this profound teaching. Thank you Sensei for all you did for us !!!!! I am eternally in your debt.
I started this practice as an experiment to see if it works. I seriously started practicing in 2019. I saw many life transforming experiences, which made me the person I am today. I don't think I really understood mentor disciple concept, until 3 years after my practice when I actually understood what it means to carry out Sensei's heart, spirit and life with us, wherever we are and in whatever situation we are. Renewed my vows yet again to be an exemplary in my life and profession.
We are grateful for this. Thanks a lot for the efforts. It aint easy but this has helped. Thank you Ikeda Sensei.
"Ikeda Sensei"
感恩生命有您,我的人生师匠。
您为我们留下了学之不尽的教诲与指导和大量的著作,这都是最珍贵的精神遗产。
今后,身为弟子必要奋起回报师恩。
能够成为池田门下的弟子是多么幸福啊,谢谢您池田先生❤
Thank you very much Ikeda Sensei for all your Huge efforts for peace, culture and education. Thanks to Mrs Kaneko Ikeda who support him in the shadow during all
these years. I was lucky to meet Sensei in Europa. These are golden memories in my heart. I found a great Buddhist master and you save my life. Now since you join the Eagle peak, I took a new fresh start. Your death has shaken me to the core, as I realise that we need to deepen our fight for kosen rufu where we are now to deepen our vow
My eternal Mentor Sensei Ikeda is alive in my heart and will forever remain in my heart. I will forever be grateful.,Your vow is my vow! I will carry out the mission of kosen-rufu with renewed resolve and determination. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo Nam-myoho-renge-kyo Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ...
Thanks for all your wonderful guidance and exemple !! You will always be my mentor !!! I chant from the bottom of my heart for realising all my goals for kosenrufu to show actual proof, create a harmonious family,
keeping good health, overcoming all obstacles and contribute actively to the propagation of Nichiren Bouddhisme in my area . My vow is the vow of my mentor.
Now I chant more powerfully than earlier for peace , harmony and happiness across the four quarters of the land , and seek my mentors guidance during challenges.
Making my vow as of my mentors, I am determined to accomplish.
OUR SENSEI OUR present past and future and for posterity. We will ever remember the saying " When Great Worst happens Great Good follows " and continue Chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. Thank YOU Sensei.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends. You were a great inspiration for so many people! RIP SENSEI!
My life has transformed much with Ikeda Sensei's Guidances. Able to utilise my potential and skills properly. Also, now in Good Health recovered a lot. I am regularly chanting and as a disciple one with mentor propogating Law and encouraging people. Sensei your vow is my Vow.
At first i was sadden by the news of the passing of our great mentor. But thanks to this website, i have come to realize that the best way to honor Ikeda Sensei is to stand up and carry on his legacy together with M&D spirit.
Part 7: I continue to live a most mystifying life indeed and today is no exception. I also chanted powerfully to various frequency alignment sounds and then saw that the daily messages from Sensei’s Wisdom for Every Day life fully aligned with me in that day’s writings.
Thank you Sensei! Your compassion, wisdom, and life example will forever be engraved in my heart and spirit!NMRK❤️
Part 6: We in our practice say, “Never Give Up” and that “Every Winter Turns To Spring.” In this vein, I am emboldened to chart a new path and new beginning immediately as I approach 2024 and beyond. It is about time. I have all the clarity I needed, from the base and soiled pastures i have occasionally trodden akin to the blooming of a lotus flower— my inner one that is.
Part 5: With that said, i have an even more stark realization to better honor his spirit and wisdom “From this Day Forward” fully aligning my actions and behavior with the example he set in his life… which manifests my highest self, dreams, and goals in my life which is proven daily with evidence and facts! I give eternal thanks to Sensei Daisaku Ikeda for the many benefits i have received from this religion.
Part 4: I post this now because when i finally feel that i now deeply understand the mentor/discple relationship—which is why i chanted so passionately in the early AM from 5 am to 7 am—during the most charged part of the day and mystic energy—i find out that my mentor has passed.
Part 3: However, There are many powerful Buddhist principles i have learned thanks to Sensei Ikeda’s worldwide propagation that have changed my life for the better and made me realize the tenets therein are guaranteed!
I May have swayed in the past sometimes, but never lost focus of my the profundity and beauty of this practice.
Part 2: Come what may, i have said it in the past, to some and likely many people. This is my 20th year and 11 months of practicing this Buddhism and working on my human revolution, thanks to the concepts of the Lotus Sutra as conceived by Shakyamuni Buddha, Nichiren Daishonin, and my eternal spiritual mentor Sensei Ikeda. Friends might say i have not always emulated the mentor/disciple relationship, for i never fully grasped it in the past.
Part 1: On November 17, I found out that the third president of the Soka Gakkai International - Worldwide Kosen-rufu Dr. Daisaku Ikeda passed away from natural causes at 95 years old. He was the spiritual leader of over 12 million Buddhists around the world in 192 countries that he brought the practice of SGI Nichiren Buddhism. He has a legacy of having laid the groundwork for so many people’s development, and championed world peace through the transformation of one individual at a time.

Thank you so much for your sincere vow to your mentor, Josei Toda.
We deeply appreciate your continual efforts for the establishment of kosen-rufu throughout the world throughout the three existences of past, present and future.
Your Ichinen will always remain in our hearts as we continue to be victorious over every obstacle as we continue our internal fight against the 3 obstacles and 4 devils. Our victories are your victories! Thank you!
Thanks to Sensei Ikeda for spreading Buddhism worldwide, our family has been chanting for more than 50 glorious years, enjoying many wonderful breakthroughs in our personal human revolution. We look forward to many more years of helping to create the Kosen Rufu foundation.
Querido mestre, foi um honra viver a mesma época que você viveu, na verdade grande boa sorte, sempre ao seu lado, juntos com Sensei IKeda, nos encontraremos na próxima existência, forever my dear Sensei

My mentor, SGI President Daisaku Ikeda, passed away peacefully on my birthday, November 15. From today, I will start studying more thoroughly and applying his writings and wisdom in my own life for world peace, culture and happiness.
I only joined the SGI recently, but I am so fortunate to have become a member while Ikeda-sensei and Mrs. Ikeda were both alive. It has been such a benefit to me to discover my Buddha nature. and become a disciple of our final founding president and, through him, all our founding presidents. I will strive persistently to make our three founding presidents proud as they watch their true disciples' efforts.
Merci beaucoup Sensei. Et merci infiniment de partager des informations sur Sensei. Restez en bonne santé.
Muchisimas gracias por estos 37 años de mi vida que fui alentada cada día por Ud. Mi querido Maestro. Espero que en mi próxima existencia lo vuelva a tener como mi maestro de vida.

Respectueusement
I am forever grateful that I have you as my mentor in life. I have heard your speeches, read your lectures and books especially NHR and felt very deeply how much you’ve been trying to encourage us to not give up and be victorious. When I was in one of the darkest moments of my life , I read your guidance and felt the deep compassion and care for me. It sustained me through and help me to courageously persevere to overcome all my obstacles. Thank you Sensei! I will do my best for Kosen Rufu!
It is with sadness that I learned about your passing. Thank you Sensei for your tireless efforts for Kosen-rufu and I’m very grateful for the many many guidances I’ve received from you and how they have guided me to the correct path in life. May you rest in peace. Forever Sensei!!!
Sensei grazie di tutto, avanziamo con fiducia nel 2030, e vinceremo portandoti sempre nel cuore e attingendo ai tuoi insegnamenti. Pulsi sempre nella mia quotidianità e ci sei sempre nei nostri sforzi. La riconoscenza di chi ti ha avuto come Maestro è infinita. Spero che il volo nel Sacro Picco dell'Aquila sia stato esattamente come speravi, ora non ci resta che renderti orgoglioso e far prosperare Kosen rufu e la Gakkai, grazie Maestro. Nam myo ho renge kyo

'재재제불토 상여사구생'이라는 법화경의 구절 처럼 창가학회 제3대 회장 이케다선생님과 동시대를 살면서 니치렌 불법의 가르침을 삶의 근본 모토로 실천하고 있는 깊고 깊은 인연에 감사드립니다. 선생님의 육신은 떠나셨지만, 선생님의 생명은 지금 여기 제자의 가슴 속에서 영원히 빛날 것입니다. 선생님의 대원인 광선유포의 꿈을 나의 소원으로 하여, 지구여행을 마치는 날까지 사제불이의 신심 수행을 실천하는 제자로 더욱 힘차게 살아가겠습니다. 언제나 선생님의 마음을 떠올리며 용맹정진 하는 법화경 행자로 살아가겠습니다. 지켜봐주세요. 스승께서 안심하도록 우리 지역 광선유포의 대승리를 만들어 내겠습니다. 세계의 창가학회 동지들과 한 마음으로 세계평화를 기원하며, 온 세상 사람들의 행복을 위해서 기원하겠습니다. 한 평생 법화경의 가르침을 실천하고 모범을 보여주신 선생님의 은혜에 꼭 보은하는 제자가 되겠습니다. 고맙습니다.

Caro Maestro, non ti ho mai scritto in questi 40 anni di pratica. Lo faccio oggi, come tu fossi ancora vivo, perchè nei nostri cuori lo sei.

For someone whom I have never met, it still amazes me that I could grief so much on your passing. From there I realise the mentor and disciple bond transcend beyond physical space and time. With that I realised as long as I continue to strive for kosen-rufu as dedicated as you did, I can meet you in myself. Arigato Sensei. I will do my utmost with the rest of my life and report my victories to you when we finally meet again.
