Tohoku YWD pioneer member who exerted herself wholeheartedly to introduce Buddhism to others amidst barrage of criticism and abuse.<\/span>\u200b<\/h4>\n

In November 1962\u2014in the month marking the anniversary of the\u00a0<\/span>Soka<\/span>\u00a0Gakkai\u2019s founding – we attained a membership of 3 million households, a goal whose\u00a0<\/span>realisation<\/span>\u00a0President Toda had entrusted me with before his death. I cannot forget the vigorous contributions made to that goal by the young women\u2019s division members in the Tohoku region.<\/span>\u200b\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

There was one YWD leader from Miyagi Prefecture who was also a pioneering member of the fife and drum corps. Undeterred by the barrage of criticism and abuse directed at the Gakkai, she exerted herself wholeheartedly to introduce Buddhism to others. She declared with a cheerful smile: \u201cA youth spent working to spread the Mystic Law is one of unending challenge.\u201d She is still active in our movement today as a Many Treasures Group member.\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

As Tohoku seeks to rebuild in the wake of the devastating March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, this dedicated pioneer member continues to encourage those around her, help others form a connection with Buddhism, and expand the circle of trust and friendship for our movement in her community. She is joined in these efforts by her two sons, who, incidentally, are leaders in the youth division Music Corps. \u201cSharing the\u00a0<\/span>Daishonin\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0Buddhism with others,\u201d she says, \u201cis the way to build true peace and happiness. As long as there are people in this world, I will continue talking to them about Buddhism.\u201d All of our members who brim with this Gakkai spirit remain ever youthful.\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
