Words of Wisdom Website Redesigned
"Words of Wisdom," the popular website featuring daily inspirational words by Daisaku Ikeda about daily life, global issues and applying Buddhist wisdom, was redesigned and relaunched during the summer. Set off by beautiful images of nature, hundreds of quotes are alphabetically categorized for easy access, from "Attitude" to "Youth and Aging." In "Stories of Hope," Mr. Ikeda writes about his impressions of leaders from all sectors of society with whom he has met and engaged in dialogue, such as British historian Arnold Toynbee, former South African President Nelson Mandela and futurist Hazel Henderson. A highlight of this section are audio podcasts of the essays narrated by professional actors and accentuated with background music.
Together with the redesign of the website, a Facebook page, "Words of Wisdom by Daisaku Ikeda," was created with links to the site.
The links to the website and Facebook page are as follows:
