Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

Our fellow members are all family with whom we are linked by deep bonds. If we support and protect this family, they will act as protective forces in our environment, supporting and keeping us from harm in lifetime after lifetime. This is a profound principle of Buddhism.

As I have often mentioned before, it is said that, where there is unseen virtue, there will be visible reward. Your fellow samurai all slandered you to your lord, and he also has wondered if it was true, but because you have for some years now honestly maintained a strong desire for your lord's welfare in his next life, you received a blessing like this. This is just the beginning, be confident that the great reward also is sure to come.

When we are aware that each moment of each day, each gesture and step we take, is truly mystical and full of wonder, we will live our lives with greater thought and care. We will also have greater respect and appreciation for the lives of others.
Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (16 January 1960) p.466
Some people are narrow-minded, some arrogant, some self-centered and others who dislike President Toda. Just looking at them upsets me.
Gave a lecture at the Amagasaki Civic auditorium.
Couldn't give such a great lecture. Was it my fatigue or my lack of study?
