Daily Encouragement

A selection of quotes from Daisaku Ikeda’s published works on inspiration for daily living.
January 12
The relationship between mentor and disciple can be likened to that between a needle and thread. The mentor is the needle and the disciple is the thread. When sewing, the needle leads the way through the cloth, but in the end it is unnecessary and it is the thread that remains and holds everything together.
From The New Human Revolution, Vol. 9, “Young Phoenixes” chapter.
