Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

In Buddhism, we either win or lose - there is no middle ground. Now and in the future, let us advance, determined to win in every sphere of our lives. By winning in our lives, we are advancing kosen-rufu; and by advancing kosen-rufu, we win in our lives.

Because Buddhism has gradually been turned upside down, the secular world also has been plunged into corruption and chaos. Buddhism is like the body, and society like the shadow. When the body bends, so does the shadow. How fortunate that all of my disciples who follow the Buddha's true intention will naturally flow into the ocean of comprehensive wisdom!

There is a saying that "Speech is silver, silence is golden." But when you are engaged in a struggle, the opposite is true. Then, speaking out is golden and silence is defeat.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (24 October 1949) p.11
Three months have passed already since Boys' Adventure was renamed Boys' Japan. We seem to be in severe straits, pressured by competition from larger companies. But management's not my role. All I can do is carry out the task assigned to me.
Boys' Japan - what a broad and powerful phrase! Boys growing toward the future, motions light-hearted as spring. Eyes clear as autumn skies. Hopes boundless as a prairie. Innocent boys deserve our respect. We must consider them the treasures of our nation, for they are builders of the society to come.
