Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Tuesday, May 26, 2015
In Buddhism, we either win or lose - there is no middle ground. Now and in the future, let us advance, determined to win in every sphere of our lives. By winning in our lives, we are advancing kosen-rufu; and by advancing kosen-rufu, we win in our lives.

Because Buddhism has gradually been turned upside down, the secular world also has been plunged into corruption and chaos. Buddhism is like the body, and society like the shadow. When the body bends, so does the shadow. How fortunate that all of my disciples who follow the Buddha's true intention will naturally flow into the ocean of comprehensive wisdom!

There is a saying that "Speech is silver, silence is golden." But when you are engaged in a struggle, the opposite is true. Then, speaking out is golden and silence is defeat.

Had dinner at Azabu with F. and some others. They remind me of the passage "To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage" (WD, 402)
Intensively discussed Japan's future, world trends and politics.
Until midnight, talked about our vision for the next ten, twenty, thirty years and preparations to achieve it.
