---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Both your voice and mine resounding powerfully to the far reaches of the universe, our lives shining.
"Shakyamuni Buddha was a person who initiated conversations. He didn't arrogantly wait for others to greet him, but was always the first to greet others in a bright, friendly manner, which made others open their hearts to him. He was never in the least bit haughty or self-important. This kind of warm, humanistic behaviour is the starting point of Buddhism as a living philosophy."
