Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Monday, July 4, 2011 I place a high value on personal initiative. Spontaneity underlies the spirit of autonomy and independence; conversely, taking action because one is told to amounts to slavery of the spirit. Kosen-rufu will be advanced by brave people armed with the spirit of independence who voluntarily strive to fulfill the vow they made at the time of kuon ganjo. Because they struggle of their own volition, they have no complaints or grievances. The greater the obstacles they face, the greater the courage, wisdom and power they muster from within.
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Monday, July 4, 2011 Even if it seems that, because I was born in the ruler's domain, I follow him in my actions, I will never follow him in my heart.
Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Monday, July 4, 2011 A great inner revolution in just a single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of an entire society and, further, will cause a change in the destiny of humankind.
Sensei on Self - Mastery - Words of Wisdom
There may be times when others seem enviable. But others are others and you are you. Rather than comparing your joys and sorrows to those of others, you should aim to surpass your limits in the situation you are in right now. Those who can do this are the true victors in life.
