Daisaku Ikeda
October 31, 2023
Speaking of practitioners of Buddhism,
Nichiren Daishonin states,
“They should not forget the debts
of gratitude they owe to their parents,
their teachers, and their country.”(*)
Having a heart of appreciation and gratitude
is the driving force for unlimited progress.
Let’s boldly lead our lives as champions
of the people!
