Though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered.
On Prayer
Written to Sairen-bo in September 1272
Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

When you devote yourself to achieving your goal, you will not be bothered by shallow criticism. Nothing important can be accomplished if you allow yourself to be swayed by some trifling matter, always looking over your shoulder and wondering what others are saying or thinking. The key to achievement is to move forward along your chosen path with firm determination.

Worried about my children's sickness. Our home seems to be getting chilly from drafts coming through the cracks.
Very cold last night. Have I caught a cold too? Had a fever of a little over 100°. Rested in the morning. Asked my wife to call the headquarters immediately. While laying down, read A Biography of Bokudo Inukai.
