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.
Daisaku IkedaThe problems of aging present an opportunity to rethink our social and personal lives in order to ensure the dignity and welfare of each individual.
Daisaku IkedaThere are some among the so-called elite who are overbearing and arrogant. I want to foster leaders, not elitists.
Daisaku IkedaKnowledge itself is a neutral tool that can be used for good or evil. Wisdom, in contrast, always directs us toward happiness.
