Thank you Sensei for every fraction of seconds of encouragement. You have left the hope behind for all the humanity till eternity. Sensei is still alive in nhr vc lecture and in our determination and heart
Exactly this is the real aspect of Ikeda Sensei being a Disciple of Josei Toda. Now it is we Ikeda Disciples who will carry this legacy with great pride without tarnishing the three masters and Nichiren Daishonin
Sensei Ikeda supported Mr Toda’s wish for Worldwide Kosenrufu 100% as his true disciple and achieved Mr Toda’s dream!!! What my mentor achieved during his lifetime is just so countless and monumental!!!

On the day SGI was established, we receive the news of the passing of our mentor, Daisaku Ikeda. This holds great importance. I believe each one of us will express heartfelt thanks for Sensei's enduring legacy and a strong commitment to continue the Kosen-rufu movement as his disciples, moving it forward into the future.
Sensei, my deepest gratitude to you for your guidance all these years which help me to overcome life challenges. I will continue to do my human revolution and uphold the vow for kosen rufu and score victories after victories. To my eternal mentor, please rest in peace. Let us, all genuine disciples stand up and continue your legacy!
Molti discepoli, me compreso, devono davvero rimettersi in carreggiata per saldare il nostro debito eterno di gratitudine a Ikeda Sensei e assicurarci che le sue lotte non siano state vane.
This evening, together with members worldwide, I chanted to honor the remarkable life and recent departure of our beloved Sensei, Daisaku Ikeda. My heart is overflowing with gratitude.
“Arm in arm, together we climb.
The sun is breaking through.
Sensei, our lives are growing.
Sensei, our tears are flowing,
as shining eyes call to you.
Sensei, Sensei. Forever, Sensei…”
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, nam-myoho-renge-kyo, nam-myoho-renge-kyo.
With eternal gratitude to Daisaku Ikeda, 2 January 1928 — 15 November 2023.
My heart is brimming with gratitude rather than sorrow, Thankful for the path our mentor had paved for us to walk. We now stand as the pillars. May he find peaceful rest and return soon to carry on the eternal mission of peace. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.
Dearest Sensei,
With deepest gratitude to you I vow to follow into your footsteps and continue to exert for Kosen Rufu with the spirit of Yumyo Shojin. Sensei, I together with my comrades will ensure eternal flow of capable youth and development of Soka Gakkai.
Sensei please be rest assured.
Deep and Sincere Gratitude.
In het voorjaar van 1984 nam ik deel aan mijn eerste boeddhistische bijeenkomst. In bijna veertig jaar boeddhistische beoefening heeft Ikeda Sensei zich ingezet voor een vreedzame wereld door middel van dialoog, cultuur en begrip. Op 15 november 2023 is hij op 95-jarige leeftijd overleden aan natuurlijke oorzaken. Ik zal mijn leven eren ter nagedachtenis aan de man die bijna mijn hele volwassen leven mijn mentor is geweest.
My mentor, my guide, my pillar of strength, my support, my best friend, Ikeda Sensei.
For nearly 20yrs, you've been a source of immense gratitude and love in my heart. Sensei, thank you for your unwavering presence and unconditional support.
"Please be assured that I am there with you in spirit, proudly watching over you as exchange a firm handshake with each and everyone of you in my heart." - Daisaku Ikeda
I will surely meet you again my Ikeda Sensei.
1928 - Eternity
Sensei 我敬愛人生師匠 池田先生 :
收到您辭世消息 令我震驚 ,簡直難以置信,久久也不能平復心情。好多謝您將偉大佛法帶到香港,令更多人在痛苦中得到希望 幸福,我也是其中一人,一家的宿業 得到徹底轉換,由衷感激 Sensei。入信 30多年 只見過 師匠一次 但已足夠,當日畫面仍歷歷在目。
最後,好想同師匠講作為池田門下弟子,深感自豪,而我亦會繼續 努力信心 照顧好家人 及學會廣布同志,師匠請您放心 我們會守護學會,向廣宣流布大道邁進!
Daisaku Ikeda, président de la Soka Gakkai Internationale, mon organisation bouddhiste, nous a quittés. Ikeda Sensei était mon mentor et a toujours encouragé les membres de la SGI à faire preuve de sagesse, de courage et de compassion dans tous les aspects de notre vie quotidienne. Il traitait chaque personne, peu importe qui elle était, avec le plus grand respect et la plus grande gentillesse. Merci, Sensei, pour votre encouragement et votre mentorat.
The mentor of my life, Ikeda Sensei, has left us... I feel a sense of numbness, yet I am resolute in my determination to forge a path into history.
---
It’s time to achieve a new, resounding
victory toward the “Year of Departure for
a Youthful Soka Gakkai Worldwide.”
Let’s continue to follow through on our
vow of mentor and disciple and play out
a victorious drama of human revolution!
Let’s unite our hearts as one with our fellow
members as we grapple with our shared
struggles together!
---
The dress rehearsal is over! Now is really the time for me to shout out, "I am Shin'ichi Yamamoto!" Sensei, please continue to watch over me. I will continue to do my human revolution, and spread this humanistic teaching based on the respect of the dignity of human life to everyone around me.
To my beloved Sensei. Thank you for creating this 'dress rehearsal' for us. Few years ago, I chanted to the Gohonzon and held this dialogue with you in my heart, I shared with you that, "Sensei, I'm not ready." With your deep compassion and daimoku, you patiently watch over my growth and guide me to win over my fundamental weakness and to believe in myself.
池田先生が亡くなったなんて信じられません。いつまでもお元気でいらっしゃると思っていました。突然の訃報に驚いています。しかし、先生が貫き通した広宣流布への気持ちは、私たち弟子が受け継いでいきます。どうかご安心ください。
Sensei, I will always carry the debt of gratitude to you for being my mentor, for your daily guidance and encouragement. I pledge to uphold the vow for kosenrufu, holding your wisdom close to my heart always.
"My beloved mentor is gone,
Standing in the vanguard of the disciples
Who have emerged from the Earth
I advance again today
Like a surging wave."
As I navigate through my emotions following your passing, I am determined to strengthen my commitment and achieve absolute victory.
Discovering Ikeda Sensei's writings during my teenage years, when I was unsure about my future, was not a mere coincidence. Looking back at that young girl, uncertain about her path, I am profoundly grateful to my mother for introducing me to Sensei.
Ikeda Sensei provided hope when I couldn't find it within myself. I pledge to remain steadfast, not allowing my emotions to sway me, and to walk the path of mentor and disciple, just as he did. Thank you, Sensei.
決意を新たいたしました。
全世界の同志と共に
先生と共に新しい時代を
歩みゆこうと思います。
Rest in peace, Sensei!
With deepest appreciation and gratitude for your lifelong mission for kosen-rufu, which is more than simply world peace, but also the very health and life of our Earth.
May we continue along the path you have forged for us, ever towards all that is good and compassionate.
Nam-myoho-renge kyo! Nam-myoho-renge-kyo! Nam-myoho-renge-kyo!
Ruhe in Frieden, Sensei! Bis wir uns wiedersehen! Er wurde Präsident des SGI-Buddhismus im Jahr 1960 und verstarb am 15. November 2023 im Alter von 95 Jahren. Er war der dritte und wahrscheinlich letzte Präsident. Er hat den Großteil seines Lebens damit verbracht, diese buddhistische Praxis zu verbreiten und für den Weltfrieden zu kämpfen. Er wird vermisst werden, aber seine Mission wird fortgesetzt! Nam myoho renge kyo.
Sensei,
I determine to feel with your heart and see with your eyes! ❤
I will advance courageously and fight to protect the Soka Gakkai! At the cost of my life!
That's a promise, Sensei!!!
Thank you SENSEI, your example inspired generations to a more meaningful lives, I hope to meet you again in next existences.
Dear Daisaku Ikeda,
many thanks for your incredible humanity.
I’m very glad to have met you. I will continue to work hard to fulfil my mission as you have demonstrated in your life.
You will always be in my heart.
Dear Sensei,
Thank you for your unconditional compassion and support. Whenever i feel deadlocked, i know i could always count on your guidance to move forward. Whenever i feel low your writings fill me with hope and encouragement. Now you are with Toda Sensei and Makiguchi Sensei, i know you will always be in my heart, and whenever i feel that i cannot go forward, you’d there to support me and encourage me. Thank you sensei, all my victories belong to you.
Ikeda Sensei! Thank you for showing me how to be a better human being, to keep fighting no matter what the obstacle & to keep showing actual proof of this wonderful practice! You have been my mentor my whole life & I will continue to be the best disciple I can be.
Sincerely, your disciple, Nami
Mein Mentor, SGi-Präsident Ikeda, hat unermüdlich seit seiner Jugend gearbeitet und bis vor kurzem im Alter von 95 Jahren gearbeitet. Er und seine Frau haben ihr Leben dem Dienst gewidmet. Seine Mission, eine Organisation zu schaffen und die Schriften von Nichiren Daishonin zu teilen, anderen zu dienen und uns zu ermutigen, unser Engagement für die Schaffung des Weltfriedens zu teilen – angefangen in unserer Gemeinschaft! Frieden, Frieden, Frieden. Danke, Sensei!
My mentor was told he wouldn’t live past 30. With hundreds of honorary degrees and citizenship from around the world when he wasn’t even able to finish school as a young man. Ikeda Sensei. A survivor of war, who saw the horrors of nuclear weapons, and then dedicated his life to the global peace movement, based on treasuring the life of each person.
Dear Sensei, I have picked up the baton!!! Please rest!!! Got your back!!! I’m Shin’ichi Yamamoto!!!
Riposa in eterna pace, Sensei, nostro mentore per la vita. Ci incontreremo di nuovo sulla Cima dell'Aquila. Continuerò a studiare e praticare. Le tue parole di determinazione hanno cambiato il percorso della mia vita e la gratitudine è tutto ciò che ho. Il buddhismo ci aiuta a superare le sofferenze della vita e della morte. Daisaku Ikeda, da 'Svelare i misteri della nascita e della morte'.
Expressing the depth of this historic moment is beyond mere words. Yet, I wish to convey the sentiments within my heart:
"Closure of a significant chapter.
Today determines who steps into the next.
The contours of eternity are outlined today.
For those who choose to carry the torch, the void will be filled with Sensei's life force, embracing unity.
And rising with a profound vow."
Sensei,
I determine to feel with your heart and see with your eyes! ❤
I will advance courageously and fight to protect the Soka Gakkai! At the cost of my life!
That's a promise, Sensei!!!

池田先生へ先生、勝ちましたて、言う人生に、して行きます。本当に本当に本当に、ありがとうございます。
先生は悲しんでくれる事を望んではいないのはわかっているのに。
日を追うごとに先生の死を認めざるを得なくて毎日寂しい。
父が亡くなった時と同じ状況だ。しっかり結果を出して喜んで頂ける自分にならなくては。
Desejando ao meu mentor uma jornada alegre em sua próxima aventura. Obrigado, Sensei, devo cada momento de felicidade que experimentei nesta vida aos seus esforços.
Rest in peace Ikeda sensei. I am forever grateful for your determination for Kosen rufu.
Let your guidance encompass a thousand lifetimes and more. Nam myoho renge kyo
Mi mentor se ha ido. He practicado el budismo de Nichiren junto a el durante 41 anos. Fue un gran ejemplo de ser humano. Su consejo a los miembros de la SGI de 'leer grandes libros' me hizo saber que podía trabajar por la paz mundial con él. No dijo que leyéramos SUS libros. En ese momento supe que era un hombre a quien podía respetar. Trabajó desde los 19 años para promover la paz en todo el mundo. Lamento su partida, pero celebro su asombrosa vida. Descansa en paz, Ikeda Sensei.
Dearest Sensei, my heartfelt gratitude to you. I am sure we will meet again.
Sensei! I take my stand! My actions will show my love for you!
一代伟人,尊贵的池田大作Sensei,永远的人生师匠,永远活在我们心中,永远怀念,感恩有你! 感恩Sensei!
Thank you, Sensei for all the things you have done for world peace and the happiness of all humanity. You will always be in our hearts.
REST IN PEACE, Ikeda Sensei.
Your commitments and dedicated actions to peace as an ordinary citizen moved millions of people. You truly walked the path of mentor and disciple of Toda Sensei full of courage, wisdom, compassion and life force.
Ikeda Sensei, thank you my eternal mentor.
I am sadden to hear of Sensei Daisaku Ikeda's death at age 95. A great Buddhust Leader.
As a Buddhist for 17 years, I had benefitted a lot and transformed my life a lot with Ikeda Sensei's teaching and guidance.
My deep gratitude to Ikeda Sensei. May he Rest in Peace.
