Sachin: - In any field, a person who aids the development of another may be
regarded as a mentor. In Buddhism, which is concerned with human happiness and
development, the mentor-disciple relationship is fundamental. The foundation of
the relationship between mentor and disciple in Buddhism is the shared pledge to
work together for the happiness of people, to free them from suffering.
Toda were together in Train & heading toward head temple.
Scene-1
Sachin:- (1950)This was the time after world war where economy was
struggling.Josei Toda is also struggling in his business & planning to step down from
his position as soka gakkai general director.
Dhaval as Toda:- Ikedia, I am planning to step down from my position.
Jayant as Ikeda:- Who will be my mentor from here on?
Dhaval as Toda:- Though I have caused you nothing but trouble, I am your mentor.
Jayant as Ikeda:- I will fully exert myself to settle your business affairs, I will be
solving your financial crises.(In his heart) I will make it possible for toda sensei to
take full leadership as president of the soka gakkai. From now onwards I will not
go to night school & fully support you.
Dhaval as Toda:- I will personally instruct you, provide you a broad education
surpassing any university.
Sachin:- Josei toda became the second president of soka gakkai on May 3 rd 1951.
This shows the true selfless bond between mentor & disciple. How they both
sacrificed for each other without a second thought in their mind.
Scene:- 2
Sachin: - Anyone who has achieved any greatness in life has always had a mentor.
This is true in any field or endeavour. A mentor aids the development of his
disciple, empowering him, believes in & encourages him to uncover his vast
potential.
Dhaval as Disciple: - You live in japan, I have never met you. How can I relate to
you.
Jayant as Ikeda:- Those who have mentor in life are truly fortunate. The path of
mentor & disciple is one that fosters personal development & growth. Those
without a mentor may appear free & beholden to anyone, but their lives become
aimless.
Sachin:- The essential aim of Buddhism is to awaken in all people the ability to
reveal their enlightened potential, their own inner source of indestructible
happiness.
Scene:- 3
Sachin:- July 3rd is the Day of Mentor & disciple –A Day when genuine disciples
resolutely stand up alone for justice.
Dhaval as toda:- I came of out of prison on July 3 rd in 1945. I & Mr Makiguchi were
put behind bars & Mr Makiguki died on Nov 18 1944. I came out of prison with an
indomitable resolve to actualize Mr makiguchi’s vision to world of Kosun rufu.
Jayant as Daisaku:- When I was imprisoned on July 3 rd, I was of the same mind
,the same determination as my mentor Mr Toda & my convictions only grew
stronger during that time. If those in power wish to test me, let them! I will not be
defeted- This is my spirit. It is the day I firmly pledge to dedicate my life to
protecting my mentor, the soka gakkai & members.
Sachin:- Nicherin daishonin writes :- The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its
cubs & My wish is that My disciple will be cubs of lion king , never to be laughed by
the pack of foxes. The mentors & disciples of Soka are all , without exception
courageous lions. Lions are not fearful, Not defeated, Lions are always alert. Lions
attack every challenge head-on ! Lions wins.
Scene 4:
Sachin: Some 20,000 members assembled for the rally from all over Kansai and
other parts of western Japan in spite of terrible weather as it was raining heavily
throughout the entire rally but not a single person left.
Daisaku (Jayant) : Let us challenge this trial with conviction that the correct
teaching of Buddhism and those who strive tenaciously in faith, steadfastly
upholding the Gohonzon, will definitely emerge victorious.
Toda : The Kansai members fought magnificiently , not a single one stood by
indifferently when they learned of your arrest.
Sachin:- Nicherin daishonin states “ if teacher and disciple are of different minds,
they will never accomplish anthing” July 3rd is a day that forever commemorates
the invincible spirits of mentor and disciple, united with unshakeable resolve in an
all out struggle.
