"There is an SGI-USA women's division member who moved from Hiroshima to the United States after the war, having married an American serviceman. In those early years, she continued to practise Nichiren Buddhism steadfastly in spite of her husband's fierce opposition, enthusiastically sharing her Buddhist practice with others. Though struggling with economic hardship and family discord, she sincerely reached out to support and help one individual after another, driven by the conviction: 'I have come to America in order to meet this person.' Today, her entire family and the almost 400 households she has helped receive the Gohonzon are all enjoying wonderful benefits. She has also helped foster many youthful successors. 'I can't stop myself from sharing the joy of faith,' she says with a beautiful, beaming smile. 'I want to introduce this Buddhism to everyone I meet.'
