It is not easy for people to exhibit compassion.

Small things matter.
What may look like a small act of courage is courage nevertheless. The important thing is to be willing to take a step forward.

True courage is always backed by compassion; there is nothing evil or malicious behind it. If there is any ill intention, you can be sure it is not real courage.

The essence of Buddhism is compassion.
We, too, need to have compassion but, being ordingay mortals, the reality is that it is quite difficult for us. Courage substitutes for compassion. I am speaking of the courage to save others from suffering, to improve ourselves, to do our human revolution. To practice Buddhism with courage translates into compassion. -- Josei Toda

2007男子部幹部研修
剛過去的星期六及星期日，是男子部一年一度的幹部研修，總的來說﹣正！！
這次目的是培育後繼，內容以班長及group長度身而設，對自己來說，雖說有些內容是溫故知新，也實在得益不少。
團長的搞笑能力依然最強，轉數之高，依然大勇！全場爆笑！：）
與世芳阿東促膝談至深夜，獲益良多，不過，問題中年，令兩位不能早睡，唔好意思！
唱了好幾首學會歌，指揮～實在震撼！最後還來一個全體指揮男子部之歌，更是驚天地！oh~ shui!
瘦身後的張國傑，與大家學習學會歌義意，意想不到地又加深了對學會歌的認識，還有破邪顯正的指揮！及愛唱歌！
鍚華、嘉華、國輝三人為大家準備的小測驗，真是被考起！
今次看了好幾套電影，都是未曾看過的，不錯不錯！
辛苦了一班負責人，也辛苦了煮飯的婦人部會友，為了我們準備了十分精采的晚餐，第二天清早，便回來為我們煮早餐，以及當日的男子部及青婦研修的午餐，要向她們致敬！
那味吉列排骨，實在炸得太好！冒著喉嚨痛的風險，還是按捺不住，嘗了一件！wow! : P
有很多新面孔出現，班長輩出，真是可喜可賀。特別喜見阿9的新力量，小胡，努力！！
特別鳴謝：陳志堅、關偉能、王俊輝

立正安國
日蓮大聖人在文應元年（一二六○年）七月十六日，向掌握幕府實權的北條時賴呈上〈立正安國論〉，其中指出：「你要盡早改變信仰的心，迅速歸依實乘的一善，若然這樣，則三界全是佛國土，佛國又怎會衰微呢！」（日文御書全集三二頁）主張唯有歸依正法，才能實現真正和平安穩的國土、社會。這就是，「立正安國」的原理了。
7月16日也是這個網誌成立的日子,在這個那麼有意義的日子,我們應該甚樣才能做到立正安國呢?
答案就是我們要確信南無妙法蓮華經,做好人間革命,跨越生命上每一個困難,這樣就可以實現自身的立正安國.再把這理論介紹給身邊的友人,讓每一個人都明白這原理.如果我們能做到這樣的話,離開真正的立正安國還遠嘛.
