For Today and Tomorrow

Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda

Sunday, February 19, 2012

This lifetime will never come again; it is precious and irreplaceable. To live without regret, it is crucial for us to have a concrete purpose and continually set goals and challenges for ourselves. It is equally important that we keep moving toward specific targets steadily and tenaciously, one step at a time.

Buddhism Day by Day

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda

Chang-an writes, "If one befriends another person but lacks the mercy to correct him, one is in fact his enemy."  The consequences of a grave offense are extremely difficult to erase.  The most important thing is to continually strengthen our wish to benefit others. -Nichiren

 

 

 

Daily Wisdom

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Sunday, February 19, 2012

Be sure to strengthen your faith, and receive the protection of Shakyamuni, Many Treasures, and the Buddhas of the ten directions. Exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study. Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism. You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. Both practice and study arise from faith. Teach others to the best of your ability, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase.
