More quotes by Daisaku Ikeda
People need to be made conscious of a very simple reality: we have no choice but to share this planet, this small blue sphere floating in the vast reaches of space, with all of our fellow 'passengers.'
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
The role of humankind is to use the cultural and social environment it has created to devise new global values.... Human relations with nature are intimately bound up in interpersonal relations and with the relation of the self and its inner life.
Daisaku Ikeda
Japan learned from the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that the tragedy wrought by nuclear weapons must never be repeated and that humanity and nuclear weapons cannot coexist.
Daisaku Ikeda
People who are rooted in the here and now, who are not defeated by their limitations, who don’t compare themselves to others, who confidently advance along their chosen path-such people are happy, such people are truly great.
Daisaku Ikeda
No one should be left to suffer alone.
Daisaku Ikeda
Come on obstacles! I've been expecting you! This is the chance that I've been waiting for!
Daisaku Ikeda
The effects of human rights education can be dramatic in awakening people to the value and power of their own lives, as shown in the following stories.
Daisaku Ikeda
Faith is to fear nothing, to stand unswayed, the power to surmount any obstacle.
Daisaku Ikeda
We are not merely passive pawns of historical forces nor are we victims of the past. We can shape and direct history.
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
To possess both wisdom and compassion is the heart of our human revolution. If you have wisdom alone and lack compassion, it will be a cold, perverse wisdom. If you have compassion alone and lack wisdom, you cannot give happiness to others. You are even likely to lead them in the wrong direction, and you won't be able to achieve your own happiness.
Daisaku Ikeda
The determination to win is the better part of winning.
Daisaku Ikeda
Life is painful. It has thorns, like the stem of a rose. Culture and art are the roses that bloom on the stem. The flower is yourself, your humanity. Art is the liberation of the humanity inside yourself.
Daisaku Ikeda
If you lose today, win tomorrow. In this never-ending spirit of challenge is found the heart of a victor.
Daisaku Ikeda
We are responsible for our own destiny. What matters is how we improve ourselves from this moment forward.
Daisaku Ikeda
Let us join our efforts toward building the unshakable foundations for a culture of peace.
Daisaku Ikeda
Let us give something to each person we meet: joy, courage, hope, assurance, or philosophy, wisdom, a vision for the future. Let us always give something.
Daisaku Ikeda
A moment’s encounter can decide the direction of one’s entire life
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
