Shin’ichi worked, strove, and fought with the unwavering wish to triumph in every endeavor so that he might bring joy to his mentor, Josei Toda. His mentor was always in his heart. Each day, each moment, was an ongoing dialogue with him. Shin’ichi was also convinced that Toda was aware of all his efforts and of what was deep in his heart. He was determined to be a person who could at any time report proudly to his mentor.

Why is the Soka Gakkai so strongly united? Because its members tirelessly engage in dialogue. They never let up. Whether it comes to organizational unity or harmonyamong all people, the basic principle is the same. It’s important to keep making efforts again and again to reach out and talk with others, creating heart-to-heart bonds basednot on social position or title but on our shared humanity. It is through such continual, steadfast actions that genuine solidarity is born.
