I stood before the grave of Mr Toda at the head temple, praying sincerely: “Nam-myoho–renge-kyo, Nam-myoho–renge-kyo. . . .” My daimoku on this day brimmed with more power and joy than usual. ​

Silently addressing Mr Toda, I said: “Sensei! Your long-cherished dream of Soka University has finally come true. The opening ceremony just finished, and the hope-filled voices of the university’s new students have begun to echo across the campus.” I clearly saw Mr Toda in his mind, smiling and nodding in satisfaction.​
