Based on this truth, Mr Toda sternly warned:“When the founding spirit of an organization is forgotten, cliques and factions emerge, power struggles proliferate, and disorder reigns. Continuing to uphold and reinforce the spirit of mentor and disciple, which is the starting point of the Soka Gakkai, is the very essence and core of our organization dedicated to the widespread propagation of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism.”
"Our founding spirit is neither abstract nor symbolic. When all is said and done, the founding spirit of our organization and the spirit of mentor and disciple are absolutely identical. They are one and the same thing."
