We must always have the spirit to begin anew "from this moment," to initiate a new struggle each day

Daily Guidance Thur 12/27

 

For Today and Tomorrow Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda Thursday, December 27, 2012 No matter what the circumstances, you should never concede defeat.  Never conclude that you've reached a dead end, that everything is finished.  You possess a glorious future.  And precisely because of that, you must persevere and study. Life is eternal. We need to focus on the two existences of the present and the future and not get caught up in the past.  We must always have the spirit to begin anew "from this moment," to initiate a new struggle each day. Buddhism Day by Day Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda Thursday, December 27, 2012 Religious strife must be avoided at all cost; under no circumstance should it be allowed.  People may hold different religious beliefs, but the bottom line is that we are all human beings.  We all seek happiness and desire peace.  Religion should bring people together.  It should unite the potential for good in people's hearts toward benefiting society and humanity and creating a better future. Daily Wisdom From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Thursday, December 27, 2012 Your own offerings were not made to me, Nichiren, but to the Lotus Sutra.  Therefore, we must leave it to Shakyamuni Buddha, Many Treasures Buddha, and the Buddhas of the ten directions [to fathom the greatness of] the resulting benefits. Roots of Good Fortune Written to the lay nun Kubo on Dec. 27, 1281
