Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

There is no retirement age in faith. Sincere faith never ages. Those who exert themselves for the sake of the Law are ever young. Our heart is what matters most. Let us strive to the end of our days for kosen-rufu.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

Pure and committed practice of Nichiren Buddhism entirely changes the meaning of hardships in our lives. We no longer view challenges and trials as negatives to be avoided but as things which, when overcome, bring us closer to our attainment of Buddhahood.

At 4:00 p.m., attended the service marking the eve of the second anniversary of my mentor's passing, conducted by High Priest Nittatsu in the Grand Lecture Hall. At 7:00, we chanted daimoku and eulogies were read.
Happy that I, as an immediate disciple, could arrange such a grand memorial service for my late mentor. Renewed my resolve, aiming for the sixth anniversary of President Toda's death.
