Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Monday, August 31, 2015
As long as we pray earnestly and sincerely with all our being, if we have strong and genuine faith, even though results may not be immediately visible, they will definitely manifest without fail in generations of our children and our children's children. I would like all of you to have absolute confidence in this.

Believers in the Lotus Sutra should fear those who attempt to obstruct their practice more than they fear bandits, burglars, night raiders, tigers, wolves, or lions even more than invasion now by the Mongols.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Monday, August 31, 2015
Overcoming the four sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death is not just a matter of theory. We mustn't move away from the issues of how we can lead healthy, fulfilling and long lives, and how we can die without suffering. Buddhism teaches the wisdom that enables us to do this.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (27 May 1950) p.27
Don't feel well at all. It was 9:50 by the time I got to work. Lost today's battle from the beginning.
May has been a month of grueling struggles, both personally and at work. Only four days left. Must strive till the last moment. Mr. Toda also seems to be weathering great hardships.
I am a man now. It's been twenty years already since I set out on the voyage of life. This must be a time of joy and hope. A time to burn with ideals.
Advance. Only advance.
Time will tell.
