To my beloved Sensei, 

I trembled at the thought that Sensei had entrusted the baton for kosen-rufu completely to us. 

It is the numerous encouragements and guidance I received from Sensei that revitalize me. They have now turned into gold within my heart, shining brilliantly ever more. 

With a deep sense of gratitude and obligation, I vow to protect my members and safeguard Soka Gakkai and to continue giving courage and hope to humanity as a representative of Sensei with an ungrudging spirit. 

For the sake of fulfilling the vow, I will once again engrave in my heart, the theme that runs through the two novels which Sensei has written.  

‘A great human revolution in just a single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a nation and, further, will enable a change in the destiny of all humankind.’ 

Advance, advance and advance! — I want to continue to be strong and to do my human revolution. 

I will strive to be a warm-hearted, peerless leader who applies the principle of ‘many in body, one in mind’ and help all members bring forth their best individual characteristic and special qualities.

My greatest happiness is to be able to walk this “journey of mentor and disciple to fulfill the great vow for kosen-rufu’ with Sensei for eternity, in the three existences of past, present and future.  

I am determined to realize Sensei’s concept of ‘Seven bells’ and prove myself to be a genuine disciple. I will be building a great solidarity of Ikeda’s direct disciples, ‘enabling the philosophy of human revolution and respecting the dignity of life to take root as ‘the global spirit’ and making ‘the flower of human culture’ to blossom brilliantly. 

I will fill this planet with warm friendship and bring about eternal peace! 

Please leave Germany’s and worldwide kosen-rufu to us! Please watch the disciples fight valiantly in this battle for kosen-rufu! I will brazenly strive it out.
