Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Tuesday, June 2, 2015
No matter where we go, we cannot escape from the sufferings that are part and parcel of life. If we cannot avoid these sufferings, then our only choice is to overcome them. And since we have no choice but to overcome them, then we might as well live joyfully and vigorously while doing so. Let's continue to strive and chant daimoku to the end.

Rather than offering up ten thousand prayers for remedy, it would be better simply to outlaw this one evil.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Tuesday, June 2, 2015
Unless we can perceive our fellow human beings and feel their sufferings as our own, we will never be free of conflict and war. In other words, a transformation within our own lives is important.
Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (10 March 1960) p.486
Physically exhausted all day. I wonder why I get so tired? Maybe it's expiation of my negative karma. How frightful.
There are so many problems one cannot resolve in this lifetime.
Life's mysteries, the inexplicable contradictions of sickness and health, and so on. The fundamental resolution of such problems lies in the practice of faith.
