---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"To live in accord with this path of mentor and disciple is to lead an unsurpassed life committed to opening the way to peace and happiness for all humanity.
"To bring the 'nourishment of wisdom' and the 'moisture of compassion' to the 'parched fields' of people's lives that have been devitalised by greed, anger, and ignorance and restore them to 'lush green fields'--this is the vow of mentor and disciple in Buddhism. And in one respect, improving the human condition in this way could be called a fervent wish of all humankind."
