SGI President Ikeda, in part 2 of his Oct. 24 speech,
which appears in the Nov. 26 World Tribune, recalls: "When I was a young
man of 28, I went to Yamaguchi Prefecture, a place I have come to love
dearly. I went there to spearhead a propagation campaign, to open the way
for the development of the kosen-rufu movement there. Why were we able to
achieve the record-breaking advances we did at that time? We fought with
the spirit that the moment would never come again. I built a strong
foundation in Yamaguchi through a struggle based on the oneness of mentor
and disciple. I triumphed. I achieved things that no one can rival -- in
every place that I worked for kosen-rufu. I hope all of you will do the
same. I don’t care what it is, but do something. Achieve something that
will make others express their admiration. It is a wonderful feeling to
win. It's fun. You feel proud. Losing is sad. People make fun of you. The
purpose of your faith, of your life, is to win." For information on
