Human life possesses a potential deeper than the great wide ocean and vaster than the sky. We may tend to give up and resign ourselves to present circumstances, thinking “There is no way.” But by breaking down these barriers in our minds, we can enjoy vibrant lives, filled with powerful life force like the sun.

Daily Encouragement

Posted on January 10, 2017 by SGI-USA Austin

Buddhism is reason. It is vital, therefore, that our lives and our activities in society also accord with reason. Please manifest the principle of “faith equals daily life,” so that you will be trusted, respected and emulated by others. Bringing fragrant flowers of trust and humanism to bloom throughout society is one of the goals of Buddhism. To do things that others find strange and unnatural, that run counter to common sense–such actions go against the basic tenets of Buddhism and amount to slander of the Law.

Everything begins with the resolve to take the first step. From that action, wisdom arises and change begins. Without action, nothing changes.
