Daisaku IkedaLife is filled with potential that is truly unfathomable. At last we are coming to see the enormous power it possesses. That is why we must never write anyone off. In particular, we mustnโt put boundaries on our own potential. In most cases, our so-called limitations are nothing more than our own decision to limit ourselves.
Daisaku IkedaI believe that a culture of peace must be the essential foundation of our efforts for peace.
Daisaku IkedaWe can bring brilliant flowers of victory to bloom in our lives when we weather the hardships of winter and emerge triumphant based on our practice of the Mystic Law. The key to victories lies in how hard we struggle when we are in winter, how wisely we use this time and how meaningful we live each day confident that spring will definitely come.
