Happiness is not something far away. It is to be found neither in fame nor in popularity. When you live with integrity, your hearts begin to fill with a happiness as vast as the universe. It’s about being true to yourself and starting from where you are.

Daily Encouragement

Forward! Always forward! This is a basic spirit of Buddhism. Nichiren’s teaching is the Buddhism of true cause. We live with our gaze fixed on the future, not hung up on the past. To advance eternally–this is the essence of life and the essence of what it means to be a practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism.

Only by experiencing suffering ourselves can we understand the suffering of others and deepen our compassion.
