Daily Encouragement

A selection of quotes from Daisaku Ikeda’s published works on inspiration for daily living.

February 13

The lives of all people are at one with the universe. All the workings of the universe contribute to the formation of the individuality of each person. To put it another way, each person is a microcosm that reflects the macrocosm in a unique manner; fundamentally, the individual encompasses all. Therefore, each person is precious and irreplaceable.

From The Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra.
