For Today and Tomorrow

Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda


“Nothing can match the strength of those whose lives have been shaped and forged through challenging and overcoming hardships. Such people fear nothing. The purpose of our Buddhist practice is to develop such strength and fortitude. To cultivate such an invincible core is in itself a victory. It is also the greatest benefit. Those who can succeed in this endeavor will savor unsurpassed happiness; they can manifest the supreme state of Buddhahood.”

This, in a nutshell is the heart of this community group - knowing the real truth about attaining Buddhahood in this Lifetime. The practice of Nichiren Buddhism, reverently and truthfully propagated by the Soka Gakkai International in over 190 countries and territories worldwide, is the unsurpassed way to absolute happiness.

The life we forge through accomplishing our individual Human Revolution (a modern term for attaining enlightenment) entails overcoming numerous obstacles as we develop an indestructible inner state of life and  indomitable sense of self.
