a look in the mirror

about today’s court decision to uphold the ban on gay marriage from a Buddhist perspective…

“In a society where there is no fundamental respect for human  rights, reputation and standing are nothing.  The most important thing is whether we have genuine love and compassion for others.”

Discussions on Youth

D. Ikeda

“When you bow to a mirror, the reflected image bows back.”  (Gosho Zenshu)   ”People who respect others are respected by others in turn.  Those who are unstinting in their compassion and concern for others are also protected and supported by others.  Our environment is essentially a reflection of ourselves.”
