During Sensei’s inauguration as the 3rd President:
Gazing at the picture of his late mentor, Shin’ichi inwardly pledged: “Sensei, following your footsteps, I now begin my great lifelong struggle for the Law. Transcending life and death, I will march forth boldly on a journey for world kosen-rufu in which I will spread the Daishonin’s Buddhism to the farthest reaches of India. Please wait and see.”
He felt as if his mentor was warmly smiling down upon him.
