Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Sunday, June 2, 2013
No matter where we go, we cannot escape from the sufferings that are part and parcel of life. If we cannot avoid these sufferings, then our only choice is to overcome them. And since we have no choice but to overcome them, then we might as well live joyfully and vigorously while doing so. Let's continue to strive and chant daimoku to the end.

Rather than offering up ten thousand prayers for remedy, it would be better simply to outlaw this one evil.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Sunday, June 2, 2013
Unless we can perceive our fellow human beings and feel their sufferings as our own, we will never be free of conflict and war. In other words, a transformation within our own lives is important.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (04 December 1949 p14)
My physical condition is quite bad. Health above all. Gongyo is the only way to improve it.
Disagreeable weather. Clouds in the sky, and I feel like there are clouds in my heart, too. Small creature that I am, the elements play with me at their will.
Started preparing for a new project today.
