Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Saturday, August 1, 2015
We must not allow ourselves to become bureaucratic and take for granted the efforts of those working behind the scenes. Nor must we ever forget to be considerate of those members of our families who may not be practicing the Daishonin's Buddhism. We must remember that for every person involved in SGI activities there is another, supporting him or her behind the scenes.

If Nichiren's compassion is truly great and encompassing, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo will spread for ten thousand years and more, for all eternity, for it has the beneficial power to open the blind eyes of every living being in the country of Japan, and it blocks off the road that leads to the hell of incessant suffering.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Saturday, August 1, 2015
By wholeheartedly and directly meeting life's challenges, we bring forth from within ourselves the "three bodies of the Buddha," which are truth, wisdom and compassion. The light of this internal wisdom constantly encourages and guides us toward true and correct action.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (04 September 1949) p.10
What is tomorrow's problem? Is tomorrow a moment-by-moment extension of today? No matter how hard today may be, when we dream of tomorrow, hope returns.
When we do our best today, the future sparkles, and flames of joy leap high. Reality consist of our actual feeling at this moment, and this moment continues eternally. There is no choice but to pursue the human revolution.
