Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
June 1, 2026
A coward cannot become a Buddha. We cannot attain Buddhahood unless we possess the heart of a lion. The harsher the situation, the bolder the stand we must take. This is the essence of the Soka Gakkai spirit.

The heart of the Buddha's lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the "Never Disparaging" chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

The gratification of desires is not happiness.Genuine happiness can only be achieved when we transform our way of life from the unthinking pursuit of pleasure to one committed to enriching our inner lives, when we focus on “being more” rather than simply having more.

Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (13 February 1954) p.157
At 12:30, took the Niagra Express to Niigata District for propagation activities, arriving around 6:00...
Praying that many capable future leaders will arise one after another from this area. Yet how many fellow members will truly trust and follow me?
Must not think people are attracted to me due to my own power or ability. They are following the power of the Mystic Law. The members will advance on account of the Gakkai’s power. Disgusted with my tendency to ignore my own lack of ability and pretend to know more than I do. Must seriously reflect.
