One of the stage performers was a dancer who was blind. SGI President Ikeda took up a square of special stationery and wrote a poem: &#8220;Your dancing,\/ nobler than a princess&#8217;s \/ firmly engraved in my heart.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n<p data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559731&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335562764&quot;:2,&quot;335562765&quot;:1,&quot;335562766&quot;:4,&quot;335562767&quot;:0,&quot;335562768&quot;:4,&quot;335562769&quot;:0}\">\u200b<span data-contrast=\"none\">At the general meeting held shortly after the festival, the dancer came back, this time led by a staff member, and holding up the poem she had received from Mr Ikeda. He held her hands in his and encouraged her. With tears in her eyes, she replied with a warm smile, &#8220;Thank you, Sensei.&#8221;<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SGI President Ikeda took up a square of special stationery and wrote a poem: &#8220;Your dancing,\/ nobler than a princess&#8217;s \/ firmly engraved in my heart.&#8221; <br \/><strong>CLICK TO READ FULL ARTICLE<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":4091,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[116,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-24nov","category-hs-treasuring-individuals-articles","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daisakuikedalegacy.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daisakuikedalegacy.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daisakuikedalegacy.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daisakuikedalegacy.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daisakuikedalegacy.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4115"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/daisakuikedalegacy.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4115\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4116,"href":"https:\/\/daisakuikedalegacy.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4115\/revisions\/4116"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daisakuikedalegacy.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4091"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daisakuikedalegacy.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daisakuikedalegacy.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daisakuikedalegacy.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
