Sensei's Daily Encouragement -May 26 2025- Year of Soaring Higher Toward a Youthful Soka Gakkai Worldwide

   

 Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

In Buddhism, we either win or lose - there is no middle ground. Now and in the future, let us advance, determined to win in every sphere of our lives. By winning in our lives, we are advancing kosen-rufu; and by advancing kosen-rufu, we win in our lives.

Because Buddhism has gradually been turned upside down, the secular world also has been plunged into corruption and chaos. Buddhism is like the body, and society like the shadow. When the body bends, so does the shadow. How fortunate that all of my disciples who follow the Buddha's true intention will naturally flow into the ocean of comprehensive wisdom!

There is a saying that "Speech is silver, silence is golden." But when you are engaged in a struggle, the opposite is true. Then, speaking out is golden and silence is defeat.

Covered a fair amount of ground in the morning Japanese history lecture. My heart feels as vast as the boundless blue sky. Continuing to proofread the Gosho a little each day.
