Buddhism for you -- Determination 10

Life is filled with contradictions.
But if we refuse to be defeated by them and presist in our faith, we are certain to advance along the path toward happiness and victory.
This is the essential power of Buddhism.

******
Buddhism primarily concerns itself with victory or defeat, while secular authority is based on the principle of reward and punishment--Nichiren

******
Through weathering trials, we can cultivate a self as strong as steel--a self impervious to all harm.
When we calmly view things from this standpoint, we need not fear anything.
