Daisaku Ikeda
To communicate the truths of history is an act of hope for the future.
Daisaku Ikeda
Youthfulness is not determined by age. It is determined by one's life force. One who possesses hope is forever young. One who continually advances is forever beautiful.
Daisaku Ikeda
What our world most requires now is the kind of education that foster love for humankind, that develops character-that provides an intellectual basis for realization of peace and empowers learners to contribute to and improve society.
Daisaku Ikeda
Dialogue and education for peace can help free our hearts from the impulse toward intolerance and the rejection of others.
Daisaku Ikeda
Courage and compassion are two sides of the same coin. Compassion without courage is not genuine. You may have a compassionate thought or impulse, but if you don’t do or say anything, it’s not real compassion.
Daisaku Ikeda
The power of art can break the shackles that bind and divide human beings.
Daisaku Ikeda
Before comparing yourself with others, win the battle with yourself. Strive to be better today than yesterday, and better tomorrow than today.
Daisaku Ikeda
Our hopes, desires and ambitions are powerful forces existing within us for the shaping of the future. They are the generating forces that create the future.
Daisaku Ikeda
Buhhdism is wisdom. As long as we have wisdom, we can put all things to the best use, we can turn everything in the direction of happiness.
Daisaku Ikeda
A genuinely happy person is one who has rendered others happy.
Daisaku Ikeda
Patience is, in and of itself, a great challenge and it often holds the key to breaking through a seeming impasse.
Daisaku Ikeda
Ideal love is fostered only between two sincere, mature and independent people. Real love is not two people clinging to each other it can only be fostered between two strong people secure in their individuality.
Daisaku Ikeda
No one should be left to suffer alone.
Daisaku Ikeda
Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.
Daisaku Ikeda
Those who give up dreams, do injury to their own hearts and cannot possibly enjoy a profound sense of fulfillment in the end.
Daisaku Ikeda
As long as we are human, we are destined to make mistakes. We all fall prey to flawed beliefs and views. What separates a forward-looking person from an intransigent one, a virtuous person from a malevolent one, however, is whether one can candidly admit to ones mistakes and take bold steps to redress them.
Daisaku Ikeda
Health is not simply the absence of illness. Real health is the will to overcome every form of adversity and use even the worst of circumstances as a springboard for new growth and development. Simply put, the essence of health is the constant renewal and rejuvenation of life.
Daisaku Ikeda
The person who lives life fully, glowing with life’s energy, is the person who lives a successful life.
Daisaku Ikeda
We are not merely passive pawns of historical forces nor are we victims of the past. We can shape and direct history.
