For Today and Tomorrow Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda Sunday, May 20, 2012 We mustn't be afraid of anything.  It is important to remain firm to our convictions.  There is a great deal of scheming and duplicity in the world.  It is foolish to allow ourselves to be swayed by such things; it only leads to unhappiness.  The Mystic Law and Nichiren Daishonin are absolutely free of any falsehood.  Therefore, to dedicate our lives to kosen-rufu is to lead the wisest possible existence.       Buddhism Day by Day Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda Sunday, May 20, 2012 The Lotus Sutra has the drama of fighting for justice against evil. It has a warmth that comforts the weary. It has a vibrant, pulsing courage that drives away fear. It has a chorus of joy at attaining absolute freedom throughout past, present and future. It has the soaring flight of liberty.  It has brilliant light, flowers, greenery, music, paintings, vivid stories.  It offers unsurpassed lessons on psychology, the workings of the human heart; lessons on life; lessons on happiness; and lessons on peace.  It maps out the basic rules for good health.  It awakens us to the universal truth that a change in one's heart can transform everything.       Daily Wisdom From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Sunday, May 20, 2012 Both of you were born as commoners and live in Kamakura, yet you believe in the Lotus Sutra without concern for the prying eyes of others or the danger it may pose to your lives. This is nothing short of extraordinary. The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 315 The Gods Same Birth and Same Name Written to Nichigen-nyo in April 1272
