More quotes by Daisaku Ikeda
Hope is the sun. It is light. It is passion. It is the fundamental force for life's blossoming.
Daisaku Ikeda
A person who respects others is respected by others in return. Those who treat others with compassion and concern are protected and supported by others. Our environment is essentially a reflection of ourselves
Daisaku Ikeda
World peace is not something that can be realized simply by politicians signing treaties, or by business leaders creating economic cooperation. True and lasting 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
But I think we need to remember that democracy everywhere is by its nature incomplete, a work in progress.
Daisaku Ikeda
Rather than becoming discouraged, know that encountering a wall is proof of the progress that you have made so far.
Daisaku Ikeda
Often the biggest obstacle in meeting life’s challenges is actually our own fear of failure.
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
When we change, the world changes. The key to all change is in our inner transformation- a change of our hearts and minds. This is human revolution. We all have the power to change. When we realize this truth, we can bring forth that power anywhere, anytime, and in any situation.
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
it is impossible to build one's own happiness on the unhappiness of others. This perspective is at the heart of Buddhist teachings.
Daisaku Ikeda
Human beings are inherently endowed with the power to bring out the best possible results from the worst possible circumstances.
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
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
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
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
A great revolution in just one single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a society and, further, will enable a change in the destiny of humankind.
Daisaku Ikeda
Everything begins with the resolve to take the first step. From that action, wisdom arises and change begins. Without action, nothing changes.
Daisaku Ikeda
Strength is itself victory.
Daisaku Ikeda
Have the depth of faith to regard everything as a source for creating happiness and value.
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.
