Buddhist Insight II

The joy of heaven is ephemeral like a mirage or a dream. A life spent in pursuit of a mirage is itself a mirage.  The purpose of Buddhist practice is to establish an eternally indestructible state of happiness, not a fleeting happiness that perishes like a flower but an internal palace of happiness that will last throughout all time.
-Daisaku Ikeda

Buddhist Insight~~It Is the Heart That Is Important

Nichiren reminds us: "It is the heart that is important." It is the heart of faith that Buddhahood resides and boundless and immeasurable happiness shines forth.
Happiness is not something located far away. We must realize that it exists within our own lives.

Buddhist Insight~~We always receive the effect of our actions 
landscapepic.jpg picture by mamamimi_album

Inconspicuous virtue brings conspicuous reward. From the perspective of Buddhism, we never fail to receive the effect of our actions, whether good or bad; therefore, it's meaningless to be two-faced or to pretend to be something we're not.

Buddhist Insight~~Cannot Turn Our Backs On The World 
Modified By Mimi on 11/15/2008 1:19:14 PM)

Human society can be full of contradictions. It can be unfair; unforgiving, too. Yet we cannot afford to turn our backs to the world. A person who does loses, and no excuse can gloss that over. Given a choice whether to sink or swim, one must swim to the very end, no matter how the seas around us may rage.

Re: Buddhist Insight~~Peace

Peace can never be attained by passively waiting for it. It is necessary for each of us, no matter how weak we may feel we are, to build deep within our hearts a stronghold for peace that can withstand, and in the end silence, the incessant calls for war.

-Daisaku Ikeda
