"Friendship is the most beautiful, powerful, and precious thing in life. It is your greatest treasure. No matter how successful or wealthy a person is, without friends, life is sad and lonely. A lack of friends can also lead to a narrow, self-centered existence."

-Dr Daisaku Ikeda



Happy Friendship Day 2025!

-

Unfathomable & Unthinkable;
Mystical & Magical;
Victories & Protection happen
When I pray with the same
heart as my mentor.
That joy is unexplainable &
surpassing any other material pleasure.

-

Setbacks are important for bouncing back.

They act like that fire to a rocket
which burns it's bottom &
helps it take a grand flight
into a finer trajectory of life.

In a way, every challenge assists us
in casting off our transients and revealing our truth.

-

My universe looks at me as your disciple.
I strive not to begrudge.
I try not to engulf myself
with the three poisons of greed, anger and foolishness.

I simply want to be your true disciple - now & forever.
I know that it will take care of everything.
You have got the title of being the world's supreme mentor
I know the journey was treacherous.
Then how can I expect mine to be easy.
In this challenge, voyage and victory,
I am eager to bring you glory.

Please be my heart always. ❤️

There are real stories of betrayal, disrespect, hunger for power, control crime- big or small - towards the very dignity & existence of each life.
This is a cruel fact.

However, a greater indestructible fact is that practioners of a correct philosophy for peace still exist.  Their number may be small. Yet they make an astonishing difference everywhere they go.

More unshakable is the axiom that disciples to a great mentor like mine give a tough fight to such negativities. They prove themselves to be a victory; completely, proof of every victimizing analysis.

-

Life is an eternal cycle of birth & death.

Death may be understood as an end to one set of sufferings.
Birth means the onset of a set of solutions which are brought about by facing those.

Hence also if birth is a problem
Death means a stop & an emergence of solutions.

In a given life if problems exist, there is no way that the solutions cannot.

We become a manifestation of how we grapple in finding joy & victories in our challenges.

-

I am everybody & somebody at the same time.
The moments of every-body-ness keeps me humble & detached. I am able to observe myself & reserve the courage in me for being somebody & not just the part of the crowd.

The moments of somebody-ness help me protect & save. They help me tell that everybody is somebody with infinite dignity of life.

-

There is a universe,
There are multiverses;
of positivity & possibilities
in every event & person.
Those who understand & respect this fact are exuberant experts of life.

-

-Taking bad times for granted
-To look beyond
-To create victories amidst adversities
-To stay just, come what may

These are some profound characteristics of a visionary & strong leader.

- Based on the writings of Nichiren Daishonin

-

I am a person of faith.
My life is faith. My faith is my life.

I am fortunate to have a constant security in the direst.
I become the chosen one, at times.
My difficulties become an oracle of happiness for some.
I feel liberated to be able to pray for their happiness to increase, manifold. As if it were my own.

As a result, my faith becomes Supreme than any other feeling.
