Ikeda versus Nichiren

Daisaku Ikeda writes:

"I will never forget these words of my teacher: 'Winning is fun and joy, the smiles of the winners are wonderful, but losing is depressing and painful. That's why victory in life is so important. The real purpose of our faith and practice of Buddhism is to win.'" -- New Renaissance Ranked # 438 of March 1,

Nichiren writes:

"Suffer what there is to sufferenjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Namu-myoho-renge-kyo. no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever." -- Happiness in this World
