広宣流布 誓願の碑
The Vow for Kosen-rufu Monument Dedication
一閻浮提広宣流布は日蓮大聖人の御遺命なり。
創価学会は広宣流布を実現しゆく唯一の正統たる教団なり。
Worldwide kosen-rufu is the will of Nichiren Daishonin, and the Soka Gakkai is fulfilling the unique mission of actualizing this noble vision in accord with his true intent.
一九三〇年十一月十八日―
宿縁深厚なる師弟によりて創価学会は誕生せり。
先師 牧口常三郎初代会長は戦時中、生命尊厳の仏法を弘め、軍部政府に投獄せられ殉教なされたり。
生きて牢獄を出た恩師 戸田城聖第二代会長は、地上から悲惨の二字をなくさんと生涯を捧げらる。
師の不惜身命の精神を継ぎ、第三代会長として我は立ちたり。共戦の同志と共に妙法という幸福の種を蒔きし勇猛精進の歴史よ。世界一九二箇国・地域に平和と文化と教育の花は爛漫と咲き薫る。
November 18, 1930—
The Soka Gakkai emerged out of the efforts of a mentor and disciple who shared deep karmic bonds.
Founding President Tsunesaburo Makiguchi spread Nichiren Buddhism and its teaching of respect for the dignity of life in wartime Japan. For those actions, he was arrested and jailed by the militarist authorities and died in prison for his beliefs.
His disciple, second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda, was likewise imprisoned, but survived the ordeal to devote the rest of his life to eliminating misery from the world.
Carrying on President Toda’s spirit of selfless dedication to propagating Nichiren Buddhism, I stood up as his disciple to become the third president of the Soka Gakkai. My fellow members and I, united in the struggle for kosen-rufu, have written a brilliant history of brave and vigorous exertion, sowing the seeds of happiness of the Mystic Law far and wide. These efforts have given rise to a magnificent flowering of peace, culture and education in 192 countries and territories around the globe.
二〇一三年十一月十八日―
先師の魂魄を留め、恩師が広宣流布の指揮を執りたるここ原点の地・信濃町に、第三代の発願し命名せる「広宣流布大誓堂」は建立されたり。
須弥壇には「大法弘通慈折広宣流布大願成就」と認めらる創価学会常住の御本尊を御安置奉る。我ら民衆が世界の立正安国を深く祈念し、いかなる三障四魔も恐るることなく、自他共の人間革命の勝利へ出発せる師弟誓願の大殿堂なり。
November 18, 2013—
Here in Shinanomachi, Tokyo—the home of the Soka Gakkai Headquarters, where President Toda took leadership for kosen-rufu in keeping with his mentor’s noble spirit—the Hall of the Great Vow for Kosen-rufu, which I proposed and named, has now been erected.
Enshrined herein is the Soka Gakkai Kosen-rufu Gohonzon, which bears the inscription “For the Fulfillment of the Great Vow for Kosen-rufu Through the Compassionate Propagation of the Great Law.”
This lofty citadel, dedicated to the shared vow of mentor and disciple, is a place for offering our profound prayers for the realization of a peaceful world through spreading the humanistic teachings and ideals of Nichiren Buddhism. It is a place for resolving anew to triumph in our personal human revolution, undaunted by all obstacles and challenges, and to help others do the same.
報恩抄に宣わく「日蓮が慈悲曠大ならば南無妙法蓮華経は万年の外・未来までもながるべし」。
広宣流布は、世界の平和と社会の繁栄を開きゆく大道なり。全人類を救わんとする、我らの久遠の大誓願なり。今、地涌の菩薩は陸続と躍り出て、法華経の人間主義の大光は五大州を照らす。
日蓮大聖人に直結し創価三代に連なる宝友が異体同心の団結で、末法万年にわたる「広宣流布」即「世界平和」の潮流をいよいよ高めゆかんことを、ここに強く念願するものなり。In “On Repaying Debts of Gratitude,” Nichiren Daishonin writes,“If Nichiren’s compassion is truly great and encompassing, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo will spread for ten thousand years and more, for all eternity.”
Kosen-rufu is the path to attaining universal peace and prosperity. It is our great vow from time without beginning for the enlightenment of all people. Today, a steady stream of Bodhisattvas of the Earth is vibrantly emerging and illuminating every corner of the globe with the great light of humanism of the Lotus Sutra.
It is my most heartfelt wish that all our precious members, directly linked to Nichiren Daishonin and following the lead of the three founding presidents of the Soka Gakkai, will unite in the spirit of “many in body, one in mind” to build an ever stronger groundswell for kosen-rufu, for world peace, into the eternal future.
先師・恩師への報恩を込めて
