As the world is a in a desastrous mood recently, we should all reconsider our priorities.
Some quotes from "180 degree - Yearnings for Peace":
When a lamp is lit, darkness is dispelled. - Sikh Teaching
Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of services and compassion are the things which renew humanity. - The Buddha
Many raging fires are quenched by a single shower of rain, and many evil forces are vanquished by a single great truth. - Nichiren, 13 Century Buddhist Sage
A thousand people working hand in hand can achieve the strength of a thousand people; ten thousand people working without unity cannot achieve the strength of even one man. - Taoist Saying
From Words of Wisdom, Ikeda sensei says "Iron, when heated and pounded, becomes a fine sword. Likewise, Buddhism teaches that our true strength and potential cannot be forged without hardships."
Will continue to do some cramming!
