If the solemn legacy of mentor and disciple is ever forgotten, the Gakkai will collapse. This would spell disaster for the future of our movement.<\/span>\u200b\u200b<\/h4>\n

In efforts to spread the\u00a0<\/span>Daishonin\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0Buddhism, when little progress was being made in this sphere,\u00a0<\/span>Mr<\/span>\u00a0Toda called on me to take the lead. I stirred up a powerful groundswell of propagation throughout Japan, producing breakthroughs that resulted in the eventual achievement of my mentor\u2019s cherished goal of 750,000 member households.\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

That is how today\u2019s Soka Gakkai was created. This is the true embodiment of the mentor-disciple relationship. It is I, and no one else, who built today\u2019s Gakkai on the foundations laid down by Presidents\u00a0<\/span>Makiguchi<\/span>\u00a0and Toda. Without me, the Gakkai as we know it would not exist.\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

If this solemn legacy of mentor and disciple is ever forgotten, the Gakkai will collapse. This would spell disaster for the future of our movement. Though I hesitate to mention such matters concerning myself, I wanted to speak frankly on this subject to you today for the sake of the future.<\/span>\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n
