Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Wednesday, December 26, 2012
Good health equals Buddhism. Daily life equals faith. Taking care to avoid traffic accidents and making efforts to stay in good health, therefore, are all part of our Buddhist practice. It is important that we live wisely, striving with the awareness each day that all the actions and activities we undertake for the sake of faith contribute to our good health and well-being.

In addition, we live today in a time of trouble, when there is little that ordinary people can do. And yet, busy as you are, in your sincerity of heart you have sent me thick-stemmed bamboo shoots of the moso variety as offerings to the Lotus Sutra here in the mountains. Surely you are sowing good seeds in a field of fortune. My tears flow when I think of it.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

It is foolish to ignore or deny the contribution of medicine. Otherwise, faith descends into fanaticism. We must use medical resources wisely in fighting illness. Buddhism gives us the wisdom to use medicine properly. Wisdom is the basic ingredient to health, to long life, and to happiness. The new century of health, then, must be a new century of wisdom.
Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (1959) p.439
Must make it known that by exerting great effort in the present we can create value hundreds of times greater in the future.
Yesterday, gave a general lecture on "Letter from Sado" at Toshima Civic Auditorium.
Conducted a lecture and offered encouragement with my entire being while appealing to all of President Toda's disciples to rise.
Want to satisfy all those who come seeking. Gakkai members are so dear to my heart.
