In short, there is no greater joy than a life dedicated to kosen-rufu, to propagating Buddhism. There is no greater joy than seeing others become happy through our efforts in dialogue to share the Mystic Law. And when we rejoice at others’ happiness, our own lives become increasingly pure.

Daisaku Ikeda
The vow for kosen-rufu brims with the powerful life force of the Buddha, which can vanquish all negative influences. Shin’ichi wanted every single member to enjoy great benefit. He wanted them to overcome illness, financial hardship, and every other kind of adversity and become truly happy. Their prayers to triumph over such obstacles needed to be infused with a vow for kosen-rufu.
