Constant Flux~ Buddhist Thought for the Day



"Buddhism holds that everything is in constant flux.
Thus the question is whether we are to accept change passively
and be swept away by it
or whether we are to take the lead 
and create positive changes on our own initiative. 

While conservatism and self-protection 
might be likened to winter, night and death, 
the spirit of pioneering 
and attempting to realize ideals 
evokes images of spring, morning and birth." 
~Daisaku Ikeda 

Let's go for spring, morning and birth.
