Dig beneath your feet, there you will find a spring. The place where you are now is crucial. Never try to avoid that which you must do.
Daisaku IkedaWhen we care for others our own strength to live increases. When we help people expand their state of life, our lives also expand. Actions to benefit others are not separate from actions to benefit oneself. Our lives and the lives of others are ultimately inseparable.
Daisaku IkedaYou must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life.
