Making a vow is the essence of Nichiren Buddhism. A vow deepens our prayers and enables us to bring forth limitless courage from within our lives. It gives us the strength to overcome all adversity, grow as human beings, and help others become happy. The great vow for kosen-rufu has been passed on from founding Soka Gakkai president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi to second president Josei Toda to me, the third president, who in turn is passing it on to the youth.
