January 1st

Just like the moon becomes fuller and more brilliant (as it gradually moves from west to east), and just like the oceans swell up minute by minute, hour by hour (with every approaching tide), I pray that we may together be able to live every single day and every single year expanding and developing our unlimited potential.

- Daisaku Ikeda

皓々と輝きを増し満ちゆく月の如く、また、刻々とみなぎりゆく大海原の潮の如く、一日一日、そして一年一年と、かぎりなく向上し、成長していける人生を、ともどもに歩みたい。
(Josei ni okuru kotoba 365 nichi, page 10)

February 24th

"Let me listen to all kinds of views and opinions."
"Let me learn and absorb from everything around me."
"Let me expand my circle of friendship."
A person with such an attitude will undoubtedly be able to develop their ability and open up unlimited possibilities in their life.

-- Daisaku Ikeda
