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

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 (27 September 1957) p.337
In the afternoon, received guidance on various matters from Sensei. Ultimately, just meeting him is the most fundamental guidance in faith.
Sensei lectured on the Gosho "Letter to Toki Jonin" at the Shinagawa Civic Hall...
Afterward, met my wife who was waiting for me at Oimachi station and bought her a winter raincoat. ¥3.500. She looked as happy as a child. Returned together to our quiet, happy home. At the same time thought about the conditions under which the Daishonin lived.
