"And could not this illness of your husband's be the Buddha's design, because the Vimalakirti and Nirvana sutras both teach that sick people will surely attain Buddhahood? Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way."
(The Good Medicine for All Ills - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 937)

"As the great Russian author Leo Tolstoy wrote: 'Life is a process of challenging your limitations and expanding your capacities.' It could be said that limitations are really nothing more than illusions created by one's own mind."
