Daily Encouragement

Posted on by SGI-USA Austin

Mr. Toda once told me: “You can make a defeat the cause for future victory. You can also make victory the cause for future defeat.” The Buddhism of Nichiren is the Buddhism of the true cause, the Buddhism of the present and future. We don’t dwell on the past.

We have only just begun!”—because we advance with this spirit, we will never be deadlocked.
