Nothing is more precious than peace. Nothing brings more happiness. Peace is the most basic starting point for the advancement of humankind. October 2, 1960. Shin’ichi Yamamoto was thirty-two years old. With a passionate resolve for peace burning in his heart, he set out on a worldwide journey. From The New Human Revolution, vol 1, p. 1

Daisaku Ikeda

Now, youthful Bodhisattvas of the Earth worldwide are studying the spirit of human revolution and making Shin’ichi Yamamoto’s heart their own. I am delighted to see them boldly and vigorously achieving proof of brilliant success in their lives and for kosen-rufu, just as I hoped.

Daisaku Ikeda

The only way to improve an organization is for its leaders to study diligently, work hard, do their human revolution, and expand their state of life. They need to start by forming the causes within their own lives that lead to the growth and development of a humane organization, always returning to this fundamental principle of faith. This is a way of life that accords with the spirit of Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism of true cause.
