What do we mean by triumphing in the end? It means being victorious in faith. For this is our true victory as a human being—one that leads to our victory throughout the three existences of past, present, and future.

Daisaku Ikeda

March 16 is the eternal starting point of the “true cause,” when all disciples stand up to carry on their mentor’s legacy. I set out each day with renewed determination; for me, each day is March 16.

Daisaku Ikeda

Life inevitably involves victory and defeat. There may be times of sorrow and suffering. But Buddhism teaches that earthly desires lead to enlightenment and the sufferings of life and death lead to nirvana. The greater our problems and suffering, the greater the joy and happiness we can transform them into through our Buddhist practice.
