Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

True joy is to be found in working for kosen-rufu, in practicing and taking action for the happiness of oneself and others. The greatest joy in life is to be found in SGI activities. Our activities for kosen-rufu become memories that shine ever more brilliantly in our lives as time goes by.

Make every possible effort for the sake of your next life. What is most important is that, by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo alone, you can attain Buddhahood. It will no doubt depend on the strength of your faith. To have faith is the basis of Buddhism.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Monday, October 14, 2013
Life is best lived by being bold and daring. People tend to grow fearful when they taste failure, face a daunting challenge or fall ill. Yet that is precisely the time to become even bolder. Those who are victors at heart are the greatest of all champions.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (16 January 1951) p.78
Took the day off of work because of illness - the first time I've done so. When I think of Mr. Toda working so hard, I feel miserable. Laying in bed, I tried to reflect on my activities and practice over the past year. I also contemplated my goals and objectives in practice for the coming year.
