On 18 November 2023, I received the news of Sensei\u2019s passing the moment I woke up. In a state of shock, I called my senior in-faith, and we exchanged conversation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This senior in-faith had taken painstaking efforts to encourage me to stand up and strive valiantly for kosen-rufu and study the novels ‘The Human Revolution’ and ‘The New Human Revolution\u2019 since I was 10 years old. No matter what happens in life, the bond between mentor and disciple is eternal, and together, we pledged to make Ikeda Sensei’s guidance the guiding compass of our lives, as we move forward.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the same day, a memorial service was held at the Taplow Court in which gongyo was recited and daimoku was chanted. We offered our heartfelt prayers and chanted daimoku filled with gratitude for the early repose of Sensei. The deep sorrow gradually diminished and it turned into the realization that we are disciples with an eternal bond with Sensei, and the determination to continue to advance ever more for kosen-rufu.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A friend of a YMD member boldly declared, \u201cFrom now on, the future depends on us!\u201d\u2014In that single phrase, I felt a glimpse of the profound impact Sensei made in fostering us, the youths.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to Sensei’s selfless dedication in paving the way for worldwide kosen-rufu, I was able to encounter the Mystic Law and lead a meaningful life as a youth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sensei! Moving forward, I am determined to challenge my own human revolution and to continue sharing the legacy of Sensei\u2019s mind and spirit, so that members can pave the way to victory after victory. This is my resolve to repay this deep sense of obligation to Sensei, my eternal mentor.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sensei! The Young Men Division (YMD) of SGI-UK will strive it out for kosen-rufu with you in our hearts. As your eternal disciple, we will overcome our own weaknesses, while carrying out the YMD\u2019s traditions of \u2018fostering successors\u2019, \u2018safeguarding Soka Gakkai\u2019 and \u2018achieving victory in society\u2019.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
