The experience of losing a loved one impels us toward a deeper understanding of life. Everyone fears and is saddened by death. That is natural. But by struggling to overcome the pain and sadness that accompanies death, we become sharply aware of the dignity and preciousness of life and develop the compassion to share the sufferings of others as our own.
Daisaku IkedaOne's true worth as a human being is not a matter of outward appearance or title, but derives rather from the breadth of one's spirit. Everything comes down to faith and conviction. It is what is in one's heart, and the substance of one's actions that count.
Daisaku IkedaStrength is happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness
Daisaku IkedaThereโs no need for us to be held back by the past or how things have been so far. The important thing is what seeds we are sowing now for the future.
