Each person who has died in war was irreplaceable and precious - someone’s parent, child or friend. That is why we must always oppose war. All conflicts should be resolved, not with violence and brute force, but with wisdom and sustained dialogue.
Daisaku Ikeda. ‘A Piece Of Mirror’. p.98

Perhaps you have had your heart broken and felt unable to go on, your self-esteem in tatters. But you must never think you are worthless. No one can substitute for you, who are more precious than all the treasures in the universe put together.
Daisaku Ikeda. Love ‘Buddhism For You’. p54

Even if someone is close by, their heart may be distant. But if someone is far away, if there is a heart to heart bond, they could not be closer. The heart is what counts. In the world of the heart, there is no separation.
Daisaku Ikeda. Love ‘Buddhism For You’. p32

There are many reasons why people bid farewell to one another. It may be difficult indeed not to look back. Yet as long as you advance, new hope will be born. The sun will rise. A new life will unfold for you.
Daisaku Ikeda. Love ‘Buddhism For You’ p.17

If we believe in Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, then we can be together with our loved one’s in lifetime after lifetime. Sometimes we may be related as parent and child, other times as husband and wife, other times as siblings or close friends. While the relationship may take various forms, we can be confident we will be born near each other again and again.
