Towards 2030 – February 01, 2025

As long as war and natural disasters afflict the land, people cannot attain personal happiness. It is not just a matter of striving for one’s own happiness. True happiness can be attained only by praying for a peaceful and prosperous society for all and working to make it a reality.

Daisaku Ikeda

Towards 2030 – January 31, 2025

In contrast, people who have worked hard and long to develop their own identities take delight in seeing others develop theirs to the fullest too. They support and encourage them in their efforts. They take joy in others’ successes. And they have the capacity to work for the happiness and welfare of others. I hope all of you will become such bighearted, truly beautiful people. Become people whom others admire and respect.
From The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, part 1, revised edition, p. 211
