Here is my quote for March.
The picture was taken by a good friend of mine and put on Facebook. What you see is a card that I made as a gift for the 16th of March celebration meeting in my HQ.
I chose a few different quotes, but all came from a Dedicated Lilac training I attended at the start of March.
This particular quote was mentioned by a senior WD leader during her lecture, and it immediately carved itself a safe place in my heart. When I was asked to create the gifts for the meeting, the first quote I thought about was this one. It took me longer to find the little shiny flower thingies than to think up the quotes. (I got the shiny stuff from here if anybody is interested, btw, it's sticky, too!)
Now, onto some background info:
Ages ago, I had writer's block. I know, shocking. This never happens to me, aye?
And I had this great idea: I am going to create a series on Buddhist quotes! After all...
[q]uotes
are a wonderful thing. They are concise, dense nuggets of guidance that
can be easily memorised and do provide enormous help when needed.
I have been comforted, soothed, right-kicked up the bum, guided and just generally made wiser by quotes (not that I am wise).
Goodness me, I was almost leaving February without an entry.
Perish the thought!
So, following a recently established tradition, I am going to share with you lot some notes I took to prepare for my February discussion meeting.
The topic of the meeting was "Friendship", following encouragement from President Ikeda to make 10 new friends.
We like to have a little study point during discussion meetings, and we decided to have it on shakubuku this time.
