*In the beginning of 1952 on Toda's instruction, Ikeda became chapter advisor to the Soka Gakkai's Kamata Chapter in Tokyo and led an effort that resulted in 201 new households joining during the month of February. This represented a breakthrough, far surpassing the monthly membership increases achieved by any chapter until then and became known as the historic February Campaign. It marked a turning point after which the Soka Gakkai's progress towards achieving its membership goal of 750,000 households accelerated rapidly.
-- Let's start off with

"From another perspective, kosen-rufu means each of us embodying the principles of Buddhism as our personal philosophy and way of life and connecting with others by forging bonds of trust.
