Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Sunday, March 30, 2014
There are many elements involved in a prayer being answered, but the important thing is to keep praying until it is. By continuing to pray, you can reflect on yourself with unflinching honesty and begin to move your life in a positive direction on the path of earnest, steady effort. Even if your prayer doesn't produce concrete results immediately, your continual prayer will at some time manifest itself in a form greater than you had ever hoped.

To mix other practices with this Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is a grave error. A lantern is useless when the sun rises. How can dewdrops be beneficial when the rain falls? Should one feed a newborn baby anything other than its mother's milk? No addition of other medicines is needed with a good medicine.

It is important to develop your character to be as powerful as a mighty river. Continue to advance bravely in the face of every challenge, paying no heed to the obstacles in your way. Become a great river of bottomless compassion and wisdom, overflowing with boundless invincibility and passion.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (04 March 1954) p.161
My fever has not ye subsided.
it's awful.
6:30. A YMD leaders meeting at the Hall of Education in Kanda.
Went to Meiwa Printers at 9:00 to proofread the Gosho. The train wasn't running due to a heaving spring snowstorm. Took a taxi home, finally arriving after midnight.
