―WORDS OF THE WEEK―
“The more we help another person
develop their strength, our own
strength also increases.”(*)
Engaging in dialogue that helps
“remove suffering and impart joy”(**)
is the path to attaining Buddhahood
for both yourself and others.
Together, let’s set alight the flame of
encouragement to burn ever brightly!

(**)In Japanese, “bakku-yoraku” is the practice of compassion in Buddhism interpreted as “saving other people from their sufferings and giving them peace and delight.”
