For Today and Tomorrow Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda Friday, April 6, 2012 There is no retirement age in faith.  Sincere faith never ages.   Those who exert themselves for the sake of the Law are ever young.  Our heart is what matters most. Let us strive to the end of our days for kosen-rufu.       Buddhism Day by Day Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda Friday, April 6, 2012 Pure and committed practice of Nichiren Buddhism entirely changes the meaning of hardships in our lives. We no longer view challenges and trials as negatives to be avoided but as things which, when overcome, bring us closer to our attainment of Buddhahood.     Daily Wisdom From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Friday, April 6, 2012 So if a woman makes offerings to the Lotus Sutra now in the last five-hundred-year period, [Bodhisattva Gladly Seen's] benefits will all be bequeathed to her without exception, just as a wealthy man transfers his entire fortune to his only son.
