Having worked about ten hours solid today, with hardly a break, and seeing the sunshine streaming down outside, it was nice to be able to catch the rays of the setting sun this evening.
I took a stroll down to the beach, armed with Daisaku Ikeda’s Buddhism Day by Day, found a nice sunny spot and proceeded to read the whole of Sensei’s thoughts for January.
A couple stood out, and I thought you might like them too …
“There simply are no Buddhas who spend all their time in meditation. Buddhas are Buddhas precisely because they continually ponder and take action to help others resolve their worries.”
“A coward cannot become a Buddha. We cannot attain Buddhahood unless we possess the heart of a lion.The harsher the situation, the bolder the stand we must take. This is the essence of the Soka Gakkai spirit.”
A wonderfully calming end to a rather busy day.
