Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Saturday, October 4, 2014
We are people of faith and faith is the ultimate conviction. Nothing could be sadder nor more short-sighted, therefore, than complaining or giving up when we encounter some small obstacle in our path. A genuine Buddhist is a person of wisdom and conviction.

In the light of the above points, this shows, my followers, that you had better cut short your sleep by night and curtail your leisure by day, and ponder this! You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come.
The Problem to Be Pondered Nigh and Day

The expansive world lies not in some distant place; it exists right where you are. That is why you need to win where you are right now. Today's victory is linked to your eternal victory.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (05 May 1957) p.330
Children's Day. Lively, pure-hearted children. Angels of humankind, treasures of the present and the future.
Played cheerfully with Shiromasa and the others all morning.
Proofread the Gosho in the afternoon; lacking confidence.
Peaceful days. Society changes with each moment. Must strive hard again tomorrow, throwing my body into the battle.
