have a great day my friends!
"If Nichiren’s compassion is truly great and encompassing, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo will spread for ten thousand years and more, for all eternity, for it has the beneficial power to open the blind eyes of every living being in the country of Japan, and it blocks off the road that leads to the hell of incessant suffering."

"The struggle really starts from now. When we overcome one obstacle, without wasting a moment we should move on to the next. That is the spirit of the Daishonin’s Buddhism of True Cause.”

"Nevertheless, even though you chant and believe in Myoho-renge-kyo, if you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the Mystic Law but an inferior teaching."

"My greatest wish is that you will all continue in the correct rhythm of putting your Buddhist faith into practice in your everyday lives so that you may become healthier and happier and lead long lives filled with great good fortune.
“...It’s also my wish that you all strive, exert yourselves, and fight in the same spirit as me for the sake of those who follow after us, so that they can all say they are happy and glad that they practice this Buddhism. That’s the duty of leaders as well as the key to your happiness as senior members in faith. Please engrave this deeply in your hearts.”

Happy Valentine's Day you Sweetheart Buddhas!
Happy Valentine's Day you Sweetheart Buddhas!
Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Tuesday, February 14, 2012:
Strength is happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness. When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to struggle is proof of your victory as a human being. A strong spirit, strong faith and strong prayer—developing these is victory and the world of Buddhahood.

According to the Buddhist teachings, prior to Shakyamuni slanderous monks would have incurred the death penalty. But since the time of Shakyamuni, the One Who Can Endure, the giving of alms to slanderous monks is forbidden in the sutra teachings.

Friendship is strong. Friendship, camaraderie and unity in faith lie at the heart of the SGI. They come before the organization. We must never make the mistake of thinking that it is the other way around. The organization serves as a means for deepening friendship, comradeship and faith. To confuse the means and the end is a terrible mistake.
Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Tuesday, February 21, 2012:
There is no way of life more desolate or more pitiful than one of ignorance of the fundamental joy that issues from the struggle to generate and regenerate one's own life from within. To be human is much more than the mere biological facts of standing erect and exercising reason and intelligence. The full and genuine meaning of our humanity is found in tapping the creative fonts of life itself.
