What marvelous hearts you possess!
What an amazing life you lead!
Full of compassion and gratitude,
You possess the Body of the Buddha.
Shakyamuni, Nichiren, and our dear mentor Ikeda are singing songs of praise
Praising you!
I’m left speechless,
sense words and poetry—though they try—do not do justice to your honor.
But I can say this much with confidence,
I can say this with my heart filled with joy:
My soul’s passion
My awakening
My growth and development
My life and endurance
My fortune and prosperity
All nourished and supported by your sincere efforts to reach out to humanity.
In turn, you reach out to me and you have planted a seed.
I’m propelled by a sense of duty to you and my Mentor to repay all that I owe you by making a difference in this world.
For as long as I live,
Your memories and influence will beat the drums of my heart.
Your guidance and insight will lead me;
For at my very core,
I know who helped build the foundations of my Treasure Tower
You have gone out of your way—countless times—to fill my heart with hope and courage
To have resorted my faith in humanity, you have fulfilled the most deepest wish of mine
