--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT —
"When I met with the renowned scholar of political science Glenn Paige (1929-2017), who dedicated himself to the realisation of a 'non-killing society,' we discussed the spirit and actions of Bodhisattva Never Disparaging.

"I explained that Bodhisattva Never Disparaging tenaciously endured both physical and verbal violence and, with a belief in the Buddha nature of all people, continued to respect everyone without disparaging them.

"I commented that it is easy to respond to violence with violence, but that will not put a stop to the cycle of evil. At the same time, silently enduring violence without taking some action to stop it only encourages its growth. Instead, we must fight uncompromisingly, with a strong commitment to nonviolence, against violence of any form that violates human dignity. That is the practice of Buddhism, I said.

"The hearts of those who devote themselves to this struggle to protect the dignity of life resound with a song of victory, I added, affirming my belief that fostering such champions and creating a climate of nonviolence is the way to build the foundation for lasting peace."
