Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
June 2, 2021
 
 No matter where we go, we cannot escape from the sufferings that are part and parcel of life. If we cannot avoid these sufferings, then our only choice is to overcome them. And since we have no choice but to overcome them, then we might as well live joyfully and vigorously while doing so. Let's continue to strive and chant daimoku to the end.

 Rather than offering up ten thousand prayers for remedy, it would be better simply to outlaw this one evil.

 Unless we can perceive our fellow human beings and feel their sufferings as our own, we will never be free of conflict and war. In other words, a transformation within our own lives is important.

Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (14 February 1954) p.158
 
Poured all my energy into giving guidance.
Faith and guidance must be carried out with the realization that "now is my last moment."
Can I visit this area again one day?
I believe some can become happy as a result of the guidance they received during these two days.
