"The observation of the mind means to observe one's own mind and to find the Ten Worlds within it. This is what is called observing the mind."

(The Object of Devotion for 

Observing the Mind 

Established in the
Fifth Five-Hundred-Year Period 

after the Thus Come One's Passing -

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
"Human revolution is not something unusual or special. For example, say that one day a boy or girl who is always playing and never studies makes the decision, 'From now on, l'm going to study' or tells themselves, 'I'm going to make efforts for the sake of my future.' When they do that, they are engaging in human revolution.

"Let's say a mother is only concerned about the welfare of her own family. Then, one day, she says to herself: 'There's no way of knowing that our present happiness will continue forever. I'm going to seek a more permanent kind of happiness.' Then, through her Buddhist faith and practice, she becomes a powerful support for her entire family. That's human revolution for that mother.

"Suppose there's a father who only thinks about himself, his own family, and his friends. Then, one day, he decides to take a step beyond that limited realm of concern and reach out with compassion to those who are ill or suffering, to find a way to enable them to lead happy lives. That is the father's human revolution.

"In other words, human revolution is opening your eyes wide and looking beyond your ordinary concerns, striving for and dedicating your actions to something higher, deeper and broader."
