Live out your lives together with the SGI, an organization fulfilling the Buddha's decree

Daily Guidance Sat 05/05

For Today and Tomorrow Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda Saturday, May 5, 2012 This is what I would like to communicate to you , my young friends who are the heirs of the Soka legacy: Live out your lives together with the SGI, an organization fulfilling the Buddha's decree!  Our activities in the organization of faith constitute our Buddhist practice, lead to the realization of kosen-rufu and enable us to carry out our human revolution. To think selfishly , "I'll just practice on my own and however I like" cannot be called correct faith.  Such a person is a Buddhist in name only; they are not true practitioners.         Buddhism Day by Day Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda Saturday, May 5, 2012 When you encounter a wall, you should tell yourself, "Since there is a wall here, a wide, open expanse must lie on the other side."  Rather than becoming discouraged, know that encountering a wall is proof of the progress that you have made so far.     Daily Wisdom From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Saturday, May 5, 2012 Be diligent in developing your faith until the last moment of your life. Otherwise you will have regrets. For example, the journey from Kamakura to Kyoto takes twelve days. If you travel for eleven but stop with only one day remaining, how can you admire the moon over the capital?
