Sensei's Daily Encouragement - 29 October 2020 - Year of Advancement and Capable People





 

Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

October 29, 2020 

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. 

The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 614

The Supremacy of the Law

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

October 29, 2020 

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 (17 January 1956) p.286 

Health is paramount, together with life force and good fortune. Will establish these with the Mystic Law, through the powers of faith and practice.

To the headquarters at 6:00 to grade the exams. Went to give guidance afterward at a YMD meeting in Nakano Civic Auditorium. My wife looked beautiful when I got home.
