Gongyo is a practice that calls forth and activates the infinite power that the microcosm inherently possesses. It transforms your fate, breaks through any apparent dead ends and converts sufferings into happiness. It creates a transformation, a revolution of the microcosm. It is a diagram in miniature of kosen-rufu in our lives.
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin

If a boat is handled by an unskilled steersman, it may capsize and drown everyone aboard. Likewise, though someone may have great physical strength, if he lacks a resolute spirit, even his many abilities will be of no use.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Thursday, October 29, 2015
As you meet various trials and difficulties, thus polishing all the many facets of the jewel which is life, you will learn to walk that supreme pathway of humanity. Of this, I am confident, and I am confident too that those who embrace life's native creativity now stand and will continue to stand in the vanguard of history. Bringing the creativity of life to its fullest flowering is the work of human revolution. Carrying out this kind of human revolution is your mission now as it will be throughout your lives.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (16 September 1950) p.48
Attended a discussion meeting at Mr. Toda's and listened to him speak on philosophy. Everyone seemed delighted.
Mr. Toda is still only the Soka Gakkai general director. I wonder why he does not assume the presidency...
Reality and ideals. Ideals and reality. Whoever avoids reality is a coward. Whoever holds no ideals is the same as a living corpse.
