Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Sunday, February 9, 2014
There is no place in the SGI for cowards or for egoists who are given to arbitrary or self-serving views. Our movement has no need for the fainthearted, filled with doubt, who readily succumb to negative influences. Let us strive for the Law and live with dignity as proud members of the SGI! The 21st century shall be the essential phase of our movement. Bathed in the brilliant light of dawn, let us take our places on that golden stage and lead truly magnificent lives!

What good karma must you have formed in the past, then, to have been born a person able to recite even so much as a verse or a phrase of the Lotus Sutra!"

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

You must never slacken in your efforts to build new lives for yourselves. Creativeness means pushing open the heavy door to life. This is not an easy struggle. Indeed, it may be the hardest task in the world. For opening the door to your own life is more difficult than opening the doors to the mysteries of the universe.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (12 June 1953) p.140
To listen to Mr. Toda's excellent lecture and hear his conviction makes me truly happy.
My health steadily gets worse. It's really pitiful. Met over dinner with K. and some associates at the I. restaurant at 9:00. I have no vitality. It's agonizing.
