Words of Wisdom by Daisaku Ikeda
Religion / Faith
Religion in the twenty-first century must provide people with the wisdom to be independent, to think and decide wisely for themselves how to live their lives.Environment
Every single thing in existence is worthy of supreme reverence. Nature is not something for human beings to exploit as they see fit, solely for their own interests. Both nature and humanity are part—and at the same time complete expressions--of the life of the universe. To destroy the natural world is to destroy human life.Life Potential
Life 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 mustn't put boundaries on our own potential. In most cases, our so-called limitations are nothing more than our own decision to limit ourselves.Enlightenment
Attaining Buddhahood is not so much a "destination" or a special "state," but a path, or orbit. To firmly establish ourselves in this orbit--to "attain Buddhahood"--means to solidify in our lives a spirit of yearning for the happiness of oneself and others, and to continuously take constructive action with that spirit.Events
