Daimoku charges our batteries. If we take care to regularly charge our batteries then we’ll always be full of energy and vitality. If we fail to keep our batteries charged, we won’t have the energy when we need it most and as a result may be defeated by our environment.
~ Daisaku Ikeda
We human beings are really fragile creatures, constantly buffeted by the fierce winds of the environment. I took some time at work to watch the inspirational film “Coach Carter” today. What caught my attention was how the norms of society often runs counter to noble and just educational ideals. It makes reflect what it means to be an educator. We all need Daimoku.
Getting kids to study is hard. What is even harder must be the efforts to get everyone to believe in the limitless potential within them. The resistance will be even greater. We all need Daimoku.
Since the advent of Buddhism, campaigns were fought by Buddhists to discourage violence and promote peace. But it is the nature of men to fall into the trap of greed, anger and foolishness. It is an endless battle. And it can really cause a lot of fatigue if we are not prepared. We all need Daimoku.
Waging Peace is supposed to be a joyful endeavor. If we do not feel joy, it is not the fault of the ideal. It is our own lack of Daimoku. We all need Daimoku.
