Last week I forgot.
That life is sweet when I say yes to each moment. Yes, yes, emphatically yes!
When I resist, when I shout NO NO NO, then I am lost.
My current practice, the buddhism of the lotus sutra, as practiced with the Soka Gakkai, talks a lot about struggle. About overcoming obstacles. Sometimes I get confused. I think that it means saying NO to what is. Not at all!
It is saying YES! Yes I will take this on. I will climb this mountain that is before me. I accept this challenge. I use these very tools to create value. The joy of life is in the accepting of the drama I am creating. In using each circumstance, each moment, each of my tendencies, to express the Mystic Law, to lift up myself and others from despair, to shine like the sun of beginningless time and to see the light shining from each life, each entity, each phenomena.
Yes! Yes!
