Daily Encouragement

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

February 21

Wisdom is the enlightened insight that enables us to improve our own lives as well as the lives of others. Knowledge that causes suffering for others could never be considered wisdom. The distortions of society today derive from a confusion of wisdom, which is holistic, and knowledge, which is fragmentary; and an inability to distinguish genuine faith from blind credulity.

From The Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra.
