I have built a network of friendship and trust that extends around the world. I wish all our members to be well, joyful, and happy—all my actions stem from that. It is with that aim that I have spoken out honestly about what is true and false. Ensuring that honest, decent people don’t have to suffer is my responsibility, and the responsibility of all leaders of kosen-rufu. Leaders who forget this responsibility can fall into arbitrary, personal views that will distort and damage the ties between our members, who are united in the spirit of “many in body, one in mind”.​

I hope all Gakkai leaders will stay free from conceit and self-importance and strive with complete integrity and sincerity. Compassion, an expression of the life-state of Buddhahood, also shines forth from sincere actions.
