"My mentor's heartfelt wish was to eradicate misery and suffering from the world. The way to do that, he believed, is to help all people become Buddhas and reveal their highest humanity. This is our mission as Soka Gakkai members, he said. "Let us continue to base ourselves on Mr. Toda's conviction and, while steadily strengthening our foundation, move together towards the fundamental goal of leading all humankind to enlightenment."
