Buddhism for you -- Courage 19

The life of a person who shrinks before oppression and tries to get by with cunning strategies and falsehood is extremely pitiful.
Such a life is self-defeating.
Rather, by fighting against and pushing through all the evil that oppresses one, both internally and externally, one establishes a magnanimous self and a profound and happy state of life.
This is the purpose of faith.

******
Though evils may be numerous, they cannot prevail over a single great truth, just as many raging fires are quenched by a single shower of rain. This principle also hold true with Nichiren and his followers.--Nichiren

******
Courageous people can overcome anything.
