The shared commitment of mentor & disciple is the essence of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism.
During the World War II, Mr. Toda joined his mentor Mr. Makiguchi in resisting the demands of the Japanese militarist authorities, accompanying him to prison as a result. Thinking back on that time, Mr. Toda later said with profound gratitude:"In your vast & boundless compassion, you let me accompany you even to prison."
That is the heart of a genuine disciple.
Mr. Ikeda said:
"I know how Mr. Toda felt. I served him with all my heart too. I have no regrets. At the end, he thanked me repeatedly."
That is the true spirit of oneness of mentor & disciple.
