Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda Wednesday, February 1, 2012 Buddhism teaches that one characteristic of a Bodhisattva is being able to perceive the world's sounds.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda Wednesday, February 1, 2012 While controlling your mind, which is at once both extremely subtle and solemnly profound, you should strive to elevate your faith with freshness and vigor.
