Prayer is the way to destroy all fear. It is the way to banish sorrow, the way to light a torch of hope. It is the revolution that rewrites the scenario of our destiny.

More quotes by Daisaku Ikeda
Human beings are inherently endowed with the power to bring out the best possible results from the worst possible circumstances.
Daisaku Ikeda
No matter what kind of difficult situation one may find oneself in, some opening, some opportunity to fight one's way out, can always be found. What's most important is to hold fast to Hope, to face the future with courage.
Daisaku Ikeda
Peace will be realized only by forging bonds of trust between people at the deepest level, in the depths of their very lives.
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
It is by fighting and triumphing over the enemies of the Buddha that we ourselves become Buddhas.
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
Great art is created only through diligent and painstaking effort to perfect and polish oneself.
Daisaku Ikeda
We have both a weak self and a strong self the two are completely different. If we allow our weak side to dominate, we will be defeated. The thought ,I am still young and have a lot of time, so I can relax and take life easy is a function of our own weakness.
Daisaku Ikeda
In most cases, our so-called limitations are nothing more than our own decision to limit ourselves.
Daisaku Ikeda
There are no greater treasures than the highest human qualities such as compassion, courage and hope. Not even tragic accident or disaster can destroy such treasures of the heart.
Daisaku Ikeda
It is precisely when we have suffered defeat that we can determine to win and open the path to future victory.
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
Dialogue starts from the courageous willingness to know and be known by others. It is the painstaking and persistent effort to remove all obstacles that obscure our common humanity.
Daisaku Ikeda
If you lose today, win tomorrow. In this never-ending spirit of challenge is found the heart of a victor.
Daisaku Ikeda
The human spirit is as expansive as the cosmos. This is why it is so tragic to belittle yourself or to question your worth. No matter what happens, continue to push back the boundaries of your inner life. The confidence to prevail over any problem, the strength to overcome adversity and unbounded hope — all reside within you.
Daisaku Ikeda
Rise to the challenges that life presents you. You can't develop genuine character and ability by sidestepping adversity and struggle.
Daisaku Ikeda
If we look at the world with a love of life, the world will reveal its beauty to us.
Daisaku Ikeda
Faced with stress, too many people feel they have nowhere to turn to, that they don't have access to the kind of friendships or communities where they can easily and openly share their problems and worries.
Daisaku Ikeda
It is senseless to blame others or your environment for your miseries. Change begins from the moment you muster the courage to act. When you change, the environment will change. The power to change the world is found nowhere but within our own life.
Daisaku Ikeda
A moment’s encounter can decide the direction of one’s entire life
