Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Monday, March 30, 2015
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.

Worried about my children's sickness. Our home seems to be getting chilly from drafts coming through the cracks.
Very cold last night. Have I caught a cold too? Had a fever of a little over 100°. Rested in the morning. Asked my wife to call the headquarters immediately. While laying down, read A Biography of Bokudo Inukai.
