Some people mistakenly view shakubuku, the way we propagate the Daishonin's Buddhism, as exclusionist. However, when we go to the very core of shakubuku , we find that there is no higher act of compassion and tolerance. We rise above differences in circumstances and position to sincerely listen to others. Though we may encounter opposition and ridicule along the way, we never resort to violence to get our point across. We rely solely on earnest dialogue to lead others to happiness.
Tolerance is different from compromise.
Tolerance must go hand in hand with a thoroughgoing commitment to articulate the truth. Otherwise, it cannot be called genuine tolerance. Wherever I went, I created fresh history in our movement for kosen-rufu. I won the struggle in Osaka in 1956, even though everyone said we could not possibly succeed. That's just how startling a victory it was.
