Words of Wisdom by Daisaku Ikeda
Desires
We are born with many instinctive desires, including the most vital one, which is the basic desire to live. Since desires are necessary to the maintenance of human life, they are in that sense beneficial. But simply to pursue desires with no higher aim is to become a slave to desire, and this can lead only to misfortune for oneself and others.Human Rights
The real question is whether we look at human life from the point of view of the nation or of life. The "eyes of the nation" are quick to reduce people to numbers and inanimate objects, enslaving human life to the interests of those in power. But the "eyes of life" look at each individual as precious, irreplaceable and unique.Health & Illness
Health is not simply the absence of illness. Real health is the will to overcome every form of adversity and use even the worst of circumstances as a springboard for new growth and development. Simply put, the essence of health is the constant renewal and rejuvenation of life.Success
The seeds of firm conviction already contain within them the flowers and fruits of happiness. But if we plant the seeds of self-doubt, naturally, only noxious weeds will sprout.Helpful Links
