For Today and Tomorrow

Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Sunday, March 25, 2012

We are no longer in an age when one person can shoulder everything.  Of course, for the day-to-day running of the organization someone will still be officially designated as president, but ultimately our future development hinges on every member having the commitment required of a Soka Gakkai president.  With this spirit, this sense of responsibility, this leadership in your activities, may you always work for kosen-rufu and for the victory of the people.  May you also build a Soka Gakkai where everyone can advance joyfully, a Soka Gakkai of undying progress.

Buddhism Day by Day

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Sunday, March 25, 2012

The significance of Buddhism lies both in the discovery of the Buddha nature in all beings and in the establishment of a practical method for bringing it out, so that human beings can derive maximum meaning from their lives. This reformation of the inner human world-what we in the Soka Gakkai call human revolution-is especially relevant to modern civilization, which has long been trapped in a sort of spiritual quicksand.  We can escape the quicksand by calling forth the supreme human potential available to each of us.

Daily Wisdom

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Sunday, March 25, 2012

A wife who leads her husband to take faith will enjoy the same benefit as Lady Pure Virtue. All the more fortunate is a case like yours, in which both wife and husband have faith!   It is like a bird possessing two wings, or a cart having two wheels. What is there that you two cannot achieve?  Because there is a heaven and an earth, a sun and a moon, the sun shines and the rain falls, and the plants and trees of benefit will surely blossom and bear fruit.
