Teaching Others Like Nichiren Daishonin Did

Nichiren Daishonin was the first person to teach other people about Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo. However, during his time 750 years ago, no one else chanted. Many people did not want to listen to him, and they persecuted him for it.

Even with this, Nichiren Daishonin never gave up. He believed with all his heart that Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo is the way for people to attain true happiness. Because he strongly believed in the power of chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, he wanted to share this to everyone else so that everyone can become happy.

We can also be like Nichiren Daishonin by teaching others how to chant. By doing this, we will be helping others to be happy, and we will help attain Kosen-rufu or world peace.

Value-Creating Education

The Soka Gakkai International (SGI) has always given much importance to education. And one of our first mentors (or teachers) in Soka Gakkai is none other than our first Soka Gakkai President Mr. Tsunesaburo Makiguchi.

Mr. Tsunesaburo Makiguchi was born on June 6, 1871 in the present Niigata Prefecture in Japan. Even as a young boy, he read and studied a lot. Through his efforts, he was able to enter the Hokkaido Normal School where he trained to become a teacher.

Mr. Makiguchi spent most of his life as a primary school teacher. He served as the principal in many different elementary schools, even in some of the poorest areas of Tokyo.

From his experiences, he was able to see what was wrong with the educational system back then. During those times, students were not given the chance to think freely and creatively. This was Mr. Makiguchi’s vision – he wanted students to be able to create value and happiness in their lives through their education.
