During the Yamaguchi Campaign \u2014 which was launched in October 1956 to open the way for the development of the\u00a0<\/span>kosen-rufu<\/span>\u00a0movement in Yamaguchi Prefecture \u2014 members from throughout Japan gathered and struggled alongside me.

I encouraged them earnestly, assuring them that they would definitely be able to introduce others to the practice. I also reminded them that, since we had travelled all the way to Yamaguchi for the purpose of helping others, we should carry out our mission joyfully and without regrets.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n
