Douglas College Soka Buddhist Club Quotations for creating value in our daily life
“ When deluded one is called an ordinary being, but when enlightened one is called a Buddha”
“If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism” Albert Einstein
“There is no way out of this mess except to become enlightened and then enjoy it” • Robert Thurman
“If you wish to change society, change yourself first.” Thomas Carlyle
“You are all the Buddha” Last words of Shakyamuni Buddha
“It is never too late to be what you might have become” • George Eliot
“The profound Human Revolution in the life of just one individual can change the destiny of Humanity and the world” • Daisaku Ikeda
“Earthly desires are enlightenment” NichirenDaishonin
When we draw strength from within, our outlook undergoes a dramatic transformation; everything around us looks completely different. To be strong--that is the key to happiness. • Daisaku Ikeda
What is the purpose of our lives? What becomes of our life when we die? ... No matter how much power and authority one might wield now, these become meaningless in the face of death. In the end, the only thing that is important is how one has lived one's life. We alone must face the consequences of our actions and decisions. When one understands the strict law of cause and effect at work in life, one will inevitably come to correct one's way of living.
The purpose of life is to become happy. The purpose of life is to challenge and triumph over the darkness of misery.
