Hope is the sun. It is light. It is passion. It is the fundamental force for life's blossoming.
Daisaku Ikeda
Whatever your circumstances, whatever your past, the forces that determine your future are nowhere but within your own heart and mind. It is here that the star of your destiny shines.
Daisaku Ikeda
No one should be left to suffer alone.
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
Dialogue and education for peace can help free our hearts from the impulse toward intolerance and the rejection of others.

Daisaku Ikeda
The course of our lives is determined by how we react--what we decide and what we do--at the darkest of times. The nature of that response determines a person's true worth and greatness.
Daisaku Ikeda
When we have a genuine sense that, no matter how difficult our present circumstances, we are not alone-that we are vitally connected with others and with the world-we will, without fail, rise up to the challenge of living again.
Daisaku Ikeda
By changing our inner state of mind, we can change any suffering or hardship into a source of joy, regarding it as a means for forging and developing our lives. To turn even sorrow into a source of creativity - this is the way of life of a Buddhist
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
Human rights will be a powerful force for the transformation of reality when they are not simply understood as externally defined norms of behavior but are lived as the spontaneous manifestation of internalized values.
Daisaku Ikeda
No matter what our personal circumstances may be, if we ourselves become a source of light, then there will be no darkness in the world.
Daisaku Ikeda
Rather than becoming discouraged, know that encountering a wall is proof of the progress that you have made so far.
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
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
With love and patience, nothing is impossible.
Daisaku Ikeda
There are some among the so-called elite who are overbearing and arrogant. I want to foster leaders, not elitists.
Daisaku Ikeda
