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

Posted on by SGI-USA Austin

During our dialogue, Dr. Arnold Toynbee at one point told me that his motto was Laboremus, Latin for “Let’s get to work!” Nichiren Buddhism focuses on the present and future; it is infused with the spirit, “Let’s get started!” We practice for the sake of the present and future. It is important not to become trapped in the past; we have to put it behind us. The Buddhism of true cause is always based on the present moment; it is always “from this moment on.”

The struggle between happiness and unhappiness is the story of human existence. The struggle between peace and war is the history of the human race. The power that leads us to eternal victory amid these struggles is the power of good within us.
