This is a wonderful daily inspirational guide. Full of quotes that will help you go into your day with an open heart and joy. Suitable for Buddhist and Non Buddhist. This is the greatest inspirational quote book I have ever encountered. A must have. Great gift for those you wish to encourage. I would give to someone you are visting in the hospital, a co-worker, or as birthday gift. Truly life affirming.

Buddhism Wisdom in a daily format. A great inspiration to begin each day, to

get one in a value creative frame of mind.

Although I am a practitioner of Zen, I have enjoyed this book a great deal (I was given it as a present). President Ikeda of the SGI (the lay branch of Nichiren Buddhism) is a renouned author and world figure. His writings of daily guidance occassionally are more specific for Nichiren Buddhism, but mostly reflect universal Buddhist philosophy and thought. Any Buddhist, or non-Buddhist for that manner, can find wisdom to live by in this book.

This is a book of Daily Encouragement, written by Soka Gakkai International(A world wide Buddhist organization) President, Daisaku Ikeda. However, it doesn't tell you to chant or meditate everyday but it teaches you how to live your life best way possible. Live your life with hope, courage and never give up spirit.

This book is great!!! Recently, we had a very very tragic loss in our family. My 21 yr old brother, all American college football player with absolutely no enemies, was randomly attacked and beaten to death one night while leaving a store by a group of 6 guys. It was a gang initiation beating. I turn to this book everyday for support. It seems like every single teaching, applies to me personally so it's helped me a lot through these past couple of weeks! Especially during this struggle I have with losing my younger brother so suddenly and in such a cruel manner.

Powerful and insightful reading for daily living.
And it can be put into action.
Thank you, President Ikeda!

Wisdom and inspiration for each day of the year in this wonderful book, open it up and feel the greatness of Daisaku Ikeda's quotes.

Love it! Intelligent; insightful, inspiring...and current. It's also very light and easy to carry. Worth its weight in gold.

This is a welcome update in the series of daily guidance offered to fellow Buddhists by Daisaku Ikeda. It is always helpful to start the day off with encouraging words, especially when they are fresh and not previously seen or at least not totally familiar.

Very nice for daily reading. Each daily quote gives you pause for thought and helps starts the day on a positive path. I enjoy this book very much. Nicely done.
