On May 3, a vow was made and renewed.
From Josei Toda to Daisaku Ikeda,
the spirit of mentor and disciple
has been carried forward through mutual trust,
shared struggle and commitment.
On the day of his inauguration, Ikeda wrote in his diary:
“May 3, 1960. Clear.
Inaugurated third president of the Soka Gakkai.
Shall begin my lifetime battle
to spread the Law,
transcending life and death.
Must take leadership for kosen-rufu
in a way that befits a general,
a human being and a youth.”
[A Youthful Diary]
That spirit continues, quietly yet powerfully,
wherever people choose courage, dialogue and compassion.
What resolution are you making today?
