"Ordinary people cannot see that the 'Treasure Tower' chapter exists within the body of Nichinyo, but Shakyamuni, Many Treasures, and the Buddhas of the ten directions perceive it."

"During World War II, amid a storm of persecution, first Soka Gakkai president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi spoke out for the actualisation of kosen-rufu. As a result of his efforts, the organisation's membership began to increase steadily from around 1940.

"This came about because he adopted a revolutionary approach to spreading Nichiren Buddhism. He focused on visiting one home after another, speaking to one individual after another. That is the only way to do it, the way it must be done, he concluded.

"Mr. Makiguchi, a great scholar, at first hoped that his writings would be an effective means of propagation, but they were not. Then, he tried speaking to large groups at lectures and meetings. That, too, proved ineffective.

"Books were no good, big meetings were no good. So he set out on his own to meet one individual after another. This led him to the conclusion that 'the only way is to find a few like-minded friends.'

"After that, propagation advanced significantly. Capable individuals gradually began to emerge.

"Mr. Makiguchi always took an experimental approach, putting his ideas to the test. He tried things out for himself in order to find the best course. He was a truly extraordinary person. I can see why Mr. Toda was so devoted to him."
