Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Monday, June 10, 2013
When something needs saying, it is our duty to speak out. When something is right, we should say so and when something is wrong or mistaken, we should likewise point it out. Cheating, lies or scheming should be denounced with alacrity. It is precisely because we have done this that the Soka Gakkai and SGI have developed to the extent they have. To say what must be said - that is the spirit of propagation and the essence of the Soka Gakkai and SGI.

When it comes to studying the teachings of Buddhism, one must first learn to understand the time.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

"All right, let's get to work again!" this is the spirit of people of genuine substance. Those who avoid hard work or neglect the things they have to do, who just while away their time, eating, sleeping, playing, watching television - such individuals will never experience true happiness, satisfaction or joy.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (13 May 1950 p.20)
Am I tired from all our struggles? My physical condition is extremely bad.
Shall a disciple of Nichiren Daishonin be defeated? Never! Burn with great conviction! Faith, arise!
Points to remember from today on:
1. Study Buddhism.
2. Cut down on expenses.
3. Live productively.
