    Yes, I totally agree. When we control ourselves in situations we make a positive impact on others and ourselves.

    Nam myo ho ren ge kyo – may the Ghonzon bestow peace on mankind – Let us change ourselves for the better instead of trying to change others.

    Yeah, very true, I myself can go on about a subject more than necessary, I kno this is un-wise, as any truth only needs a minimum of words 2 explain it, I do enjoy writing & I realise 2 much can negate the point or put people off, sum things while easy 2 feel, r not so easy 2 understand 🙂

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today.
