Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

The main point is to enable one member to stand up by imparting heartfelt assurance and understanding. It is the explosion of faith in the microcosm of an individual that causes the macrocosm of the organization -a gathering of many such individuals - to commence its revolution. This is how the doctrine of a life-moment possesses 3,000 realms applies to our practice.

Although unworthy, I propagate the Lotus Sutra; hence heavenly devils have competed to deprive me of food. Understanding this, I have no complaint, but I believe that I survived this time only because Shakyamuni Buddha entered your body to help me.

Any position, honour or wealth we may gain we will possess only during our present existence. But the unshakable state of life we develop through faith in Nam-myoho-renge-kyo represents our greatest spiritual treasure.
 

 
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (02 September 1950) p.46
 
Many voices of criticism and slander are raised, within and without.
Went to Omiya with Mr Toda and other company directors to investigate ways to break our business deadlocks. I sense the directors do not trust Mr. Toda.
What I believe in is the Gohonzon alone.
Solitude lets us know ourselves deeply and, at the same time, make our minds sincere.
