Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

Education definitely changes people's lives. This is why the SGI is so earnest when it comes to Buddhist study, which is the highest field of learning; it is the study of human beings and the foremost education. Buddhist study is the soul of the SGI.

I say this for your sake. I know your faith has always been admirable, but now you must strengthen it more than ever. Only then will the ten demon daughters lend you even greater protection.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Wednesday, June 12, 2013
There may be times when life seems gloomy and dull. When we feel stuck in some situation or other, when we are negative toward everything, when we feel lost and bewildered, not sure which way to turn - at such times we must transform our passive mindset and determine, "I will proceed along this path," "I will pursue my mission today." When we do so a genuine springtime arrives in our hearts, and flowers start to blossom.
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.
