--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---

"We cannot create happiness with a passive attitude, waiting for others to do things for us. With that attitude, if no one helps us, we will end up feeling sorry for ourselves and grow to hate and resent others. This is a cause of unhappiness.

"Nichiren Buddhism is a philosophy of self-reliance, not dependence on others. It empowers us to stand up on our own and open a new way forwards. Doesn't it teach that by changing ourselves, we can change our environment and our society?"
