Please remember that patience is in and of itself a great challenge and that it often holds the key to breaking through a seeming impasse.

Though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered.
On Prayer

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
January 17, 2017
When you devote yourself to achieving your goal, you will not be bothered by shallow criticism. Nothing important can be accomplished if you allow yourself to be swayed by some trifling matter, always looking over your shoulder and wondering what others are saying or thinking. The key to achievement is to move forward along your chosen path with firm determination.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (18 November 1957) p.355
Through Sensei's power, we have grown this much.
Through Sensei's power, we have opened the life-condition of the Mystic Law.
Through Sensei's power, we can manifest our own power.
The debt of gratitude I owe Sensei as my mentor is higher than a mountain. Deeper than the ocean. I must not forget this. Will leave a historical record of my superb mentor for the entire world. This, I firmly pledge.
