Daily Encouragement
May 28
What is true joy in life? This is a difficult question--and one that has occupied a great many thinkers and philosophers. Joy can quickly give way to suffering. Joy is short and suffering long. Also what passes for joy in society is superficial. It cannot compare with the joy deriving from the Mystic Law. The key then lies in cultivating a state of mind where we can declare without reservation that life itself is a joy. This is the purpose of our Buddhist practice.

The test of a leader is whether he can recognize reasonable behaviour and honestly admit when he is wrong
4th May. Daily guidance by Daisaku Ikeda :
The test of a leader is whether he can recognize reasonable behaviour and honestly admit when he is wrong. A realm in which reason is not recognized as the truth is an unfortunate realm indeed. It will not survive long. Eventually people will abandon it, and it will perish. This has been proven again and again in history. 🙏
5月4日, 池田先生今日指导 :
要考验一名领导者的贤愚 , 在于他能否认清合理的行为 , 并在犯错时能诚心认错 。不能领会道理为道理的世界是不幸的 。它无法持久 , 最终将受人遗弃而走向灭亡 。这在历史上已经历过无数次的验证 。 🙏

Keep Moving Forward
"Of course, you will have problems, make mistakes, and have regrets. But what matters is not allowing them to defeat you. Just keep pressing forwards, ever forwards, pushing through all problems and suffering.
"Suppose you are lost in the jungle. You want to find your way out and reach the ocean but don't know which way to go. What will you do? The answer is, keep moving ahead along any course until you come to a river. Then, if you follow the river downstream, you will eventually reach the ocean.
"Move forwards. As you struggle, chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and keep pressing ahead, even if only a millimetre, two millimetres. If you keep that up all your life, when you finally look back, you'll see you've made your way out of the jungle.
"The more you suffer, the more sadness you experience, and the more daimoku you chant, the more profound a life you will lead. All will serve to nourish your growth into leaders of the 21st century."
SGI Newsletter No. 9388, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, Chap. 17: Message for Youth [Part 2 of 4], 17.6 Keep Moving Forwards, from the January 2016 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 22nd April, 2016
