We are not merely passive pawns of historical forces nor victims of the past. We can shape and direct history. Renewing faith in the capacity of people—individually and collectively—to create the future, is the most pressing task facing us today.

Age is not an excuse for giving up. If you allow yourself to grow passive and draw back, it’s a sign of personal defeat. There may be a retirement age at work, but there is no retirement age in life. How then could there be any “going into retirement” in the world of faith? The Buddhist Law is eternal, extending across the three existences of past, present and future, and one of the benefits of faith is perennial youth and eternal life.
