More From Daisaku Ikeda

It is not the high summer alone that is god's. the winter also is his. and into his winter he came to visit us. and all man's winters are his - the winter of our poverty, the winter of our sorrow, the winter of our unhappiness - even 'the winter of our discontent.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
No one should deny the danger of the descent, but it can be risked. no one need risk it, but it is certain that someone will. and let those who go down the sunset way do so with open eyes, for it is a sacrifice which daunts even the gods. yet every descent is followed by an ascent.

The cynic is a coward. he foresees all barrenness so that barrenness can never surprise him.

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.
Dark Simple Reality
Between the dusk of a summer night and the dawn of a summer day, we caught at a mood as it passed in flight, and we bade it stoop and stay. and what with the dawn of night began with the dusk of day was done; for that is the way of woman and man, when a hazard has made them one. arc upon arc, from shade to shine, the world went thundering free; and what was his errand but hers and mine - the lords of him, i and she? o, it's die we must, but it's live we can, and the marvel of earth and sun is all for the joy of woman and man and the longing that makes them one.

If your purse no longer bulges and you've lost your golden treasure, if times you think you're lonely and have hungry grown for pleasure, don't sit by your hearth and grumble, don't let mind and spirit harden. if it's thrills of joy you wish for get to work and plant a garden! if it's drama that you sigh for, plant a garden and you'll get it you will know the thrill of battle fighting foes that will beset it if you long for entertainment and for pageantry most glowing, plant a garden and this summer spend your time with green things growing.

In a summer marked by instability in the middle east and eastern europe, i know the world also took notice of the small american city of ferguson, missouri - where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. so yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions.
