Today, the 14th of August, I make a vow to re-read Daisaku Ikeda's lecture on The Opening of the Eyes (the yellow book published by SGM - "OTE") with my heart. It seems significant that 14th August was the first encounter President Ikeda has with his mentor, Josei Toda. This was mentioned in the foreword of the OTE.
Notes of 14/8/12:
1. ND's Buddhism is a powerful force for defeating the devilish nature inherent in human life.
2. Philosophy is what powers our struggle to be victorious in life.
3. The world of animality means a state in which one is ignorant of the principle of causality and is COMPLETELY ABSORB in IMMEDIATE events. It is the base state of those who live according to the law of the jungle. Reflection: I am govern by this world.
