A change in one's outlook or intention triggers a change in the self and radiates outward to effect society-wide revolutions. This idea is "human revolution."

For Today and Tomorrow

Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Saturday, April 7, 2012

Strength is the source of happiness.  We mustn't shy away from life's challenges.  We mustn't be defeated. Refusing to be defeated equals victory. A person who perseveres to the end is a winner. In the course of promoting our movement, the Soka Gakkai has never pulled back in the face of any hindrance.  We have kept moving forward.  And that is the key to our success. Never to retreat a single step, no matter what-that is the Soka Gakkai spirit.  Those who embrace this spirit can achieve unlimited victory.

Buddhism Day by Day

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

Saturday, April 7, 2012

The Buddhist teaching of the inseparability of evil and good means that everything can be made one or the other in an instant, according to what we harbor in our hearts.  Everything begins with the self.  A change in one's outlook or intention triggers a change in the self and radiates outward to effect society-wide revolutions.  This idea is what we in the SGI refer to as "human revolution."
