Mind and Body are not 2

I hope you will always have the spirit to learn with a lively curiosity and interest. When leaders are enthusiastic to keep on learning and growing, they inspire others. New ideas emerge and spread. Fresh energy to advance surges forth. Instead of pretending to know all the answers, assuming an air of wisdom, let us always strive for greater understanding and insight into all manner of things, so that we can continue learning together and spur one another to grow. This is the kind of spirit I want to cherish.

Buddhism comes down to practice. This means making a personal determination and steadfastly taking action to accomplish it, no matter what obstacles may arise. If we aren't striving to open a way forward, what we are doing cannot be called Buddhist practice. We will only enter the path to Buddhahood by making tireless effort based on the same determination as the Buddha.

So how are OUR efforts for Shakabuku going. What is our determination for Kosen Rufu now?

It is with great pleasure...that we are able to share a practice which incorporates it's dedication to World Peace, Kosen Rufu

I recently was reading a book of quotes from lectures by O'Sensei, Morihei Ueshiba.

It says the Aikido is the practice of Love. That the true way of Budo, is to strive towards Universal Oneness. With that Spirit, Aikido then becomes One with this Universal design and is undefeatable.

Interest?

Today, January 26th is known as SGI Day. This is to commemorate President Ikeda's determination to achieve World Peace, also known as Kosen Rufu.

Here, you can view peace proposals that have been made by our Ikeda Sensei...who has been awarded over 42 scholarly degrees from around the globe for such these efforts toward WORLD PEACE.

Heard a good story about Seeking Buddha Nature today...

It is like the drive, desire and determination to do whatever it takes...to awaken to our inherent true nature.

When our purpose is this singular and powerful...the environment around us responds. Sometimes creating even more challenges for us to overcome. Doing whatever it takes to reveal to us self-awareness

Strength is the source of happiness. We mustn't shy away from life's challenges. We mustn't be defeated. Refusing to be defeated equals victory. A person who perseveres to the end is a winner. In the course of promoting our movement, the Soka Gakkai has never pulled back in the face of any hindrance. We have kept moving forward. And that is the key to our success. Never to retreat a single step, no matter what – that is the Soka Gakkai spirit. Those who embrace this spirit can achieve unlimited victory.
