Though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered.
On Prayer
Written to Sairen-bo in September 1272
Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Saturday, January 17, 2015
When you devote yourself to achieving your goal, you will not be bothered by shallow criticism. Nothing important can be accomplished if you allow yourself to be swayed by some trifling matter, always looking over your shoulder and wondering what others are saying or thinking. The key to achievement is to move forward along your chosen path with firm determination.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (18 June 1958) p.404
In the evening, compiled Sensei's guidance, working with a few sincere members. Also took care of some of my late mentor's possessions.
Now, I must follow the way of a disciple expounded in Buddhism.
My solitary, sublime resolve.
