				<title>Environment</title>

				<description><![CDATA[ The world is an intricately interwoven web of infinite relations. When we apply this worldview to matter and to all living things, including people, we can see the world as one great life entity. This is the true nature of our own life.  ]]></description>

				<title>Life Potential</title>
				<link>http://www.ikedaquotes.org/life-potential.html</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Life, in all its forms, possesses a fundamental desire to create value. Value is a relative notion, and in this world that is a tapestry of relationships, life is always seeking to create ever better relationships, that is, ever greater value. Life tries to weave a more beautiful tapestry (the value of beauty), a more useful tapestry (the value of benefit), a better tapestry (the value of good). All life, whatever its present form, is seeking to transcend its present state in pursuit of perfection. ]]></description>

				<title>Religion / Faith</title>
				<link>http://www.ikedaquotes.org/religion-faith.html</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ What is called for now is a new union of faith and reason encompassing all aspects of the human being and society, including the perspective achieved by modern science. This is the great challenge that modern civilization faces, to restore the wholeness of human society, which has been rent asunder by reason without belief and irrational fanaticism. ]]></description>

				<title>Interconnectedness</title>
				<link>http://www.ikedaquotes.org/interconnectedness.html</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ When people perceive their lives as being at one with nature and the planet, their views of society, nationality and race will naturally be transformed. As long as the window of the human heart remains battened closed, no great future lies in store for humanity. People have to throw open the window of the heart. When they do so, there will be no more hindrance to peace. ]]></description>

				<title>Global Citizenship</title>
				<link>http://www.ikedaquotes.org/global-citizenship.html</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Creating harmony amidst diversity is a fundamental issue of the twenty-first century. While celebrating the unique characteristics of different peoples and cultures, we have to create solidarity on the level of our common humanity, our common life. Without such solidarity, there will be no future for the human race. Diversity should not beget conflict in the world, but richness. ]]></description>

				<title>Life</title>
				<link>http://www.ikedaquotes.org/life.html</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Life is a struggle, and ultimate victory is only decided in its final chapter. That is why it's important not to grow conceited in victory or become disheartened in defeat. Those who keep pressing onward toward a goal with tireless patience and persistence win in the end. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ To "love people" or "love humanity" in the abstract is easy, whereas to feel compassion toward actual individuals is difficult. ]]></description>

				<title>Empowerment</title>
				<link>http://www.ikedaquotes.org/empowerment.html</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ The teachings of Buddhism were expounded for the happiness of all people; there is no discrimination based on gender, race, education or social status. In fact, Buddhism was expounded precisely so as to enable the discriminated and oppressed, those who have experienced the bitterest sufferings, to attain supreme happiness. ]]></description>

				<title>Enlightenment</title>
				<link>http://www.ikedaquotes.org/enlightenment.html</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Attaining Buddhahood is not so much a "destination" or a special "state," but a path, or orbit. To firmly establish ourselves in this orbit--to "attain Buddhahood"--means  to solidify in our lives a spirit of yearning for the happiness of oneself and others, and to continuously take constructive action with that spirit. ]]></description>
