Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
June 10, 2021
When something needs saying, it is our duty to speak out. When something is right, we should say so and when something is wrong or mistaken, we should likewise point it out. Cheating, lies or scheming should be denounced with alacrity. It is precisely because we have done this that the Soka Gakkai and SGI have developed to the extent they have. To say what must be said - that is the spirit of propagation and the essence of the Soka Gakkai and SGI.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

"All right, let's get to work again!" this is the spirit of people of genuine substance. Those who avoid hard work or neglect the things they have to do, who just while away their time, eating, sleeping, playing, watching television - such individuals will never experience true happiness, satisfaction or joy.

My fever has not ye subsided.
it's awful.
6:30. A YMD leaders meeting at the Hall of Education in Kanda.
Went to Meiwa Printers at 9:00 to proofread the Gosho. The train wasn't running due to a heaving spring snowstorm. Took a taxi home, finally arriving after midnight.
