Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Monday, June 2, 2014
No matter where we go, we cannot escape from the sufferings that are part and parcel of life. If we cannot avoid these sufferings, then our only choice is to overcome them. And since we have no choice but to overcome them, then we might as well live joyfully and vigorously while doing so. Let's continue to strive and chant daimoku to the end.

Rather than offering up ten thousand prayers for remedy, it would be better simply to outlaw this one evil.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

Unless we can perceive our fellow human beings and feel their sufferings as our own, we will never be free of conflict and war. In other words, a transformation within our own lives is important.

Another cool day. Everyone has been warning me to eat more vegetables. Agree with them. It stands to reason that a good daily diet is more important to my health than medicine.
6:30 – a headquarters leaders meeting at Toshima Civic Auditorium. Afterward, the top leaders met at Jozai-ji. Worried that the senior leaders are not listening carefully enough to the other leaders' views and ideas. Can only await the board of directors' further growth.
