When We Resolve to Be the Sun!


(You can now subscribe to this blog by putting your email in the box to the right!)

"Resolve to be the “sun.” 
Then no matter what problems you may face, 
the dawn will always break, 
fine weather will always return, 
and spring will never fail to come."
By Daisaku Ikeda, Ikedaquotes.org

What a great quote. 
My personal motto is:   

"When one sun rises everything is illuminated.
Daisaku Ikeda

These quotes can frame our lives.  

What happens when we resolve to be the sun? 

When we resolve to be the sun 
everyone wants to bask in the glow of our warmth. 

When we resolve to be the sun 
we shine from within. 

When we resolve to be the sun 
We shed light and warmth on all we touch
and we dispel darkness. 

When we resolve to be the sun 
WE are the core, 
the heat, 
the glow
and we don't have to seek our own glow. 
We are IT! 
It comes from us. 

Every day in the morning when we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to the Gohonzon (our life itself) we cause that sun to rise in our heart, and we can direct it any way we want it to go. 

When we resolve to be the sun 
We are the Buddha
We are Life itself!
