How can I persevere in times like these? A thread.🤔
Though in these times we may face heartbreaking setbacks and obstacles, our Buddhist practice helps us use these situations to create an indomitable state of life. Winning,
in Buddhism, means refusing to be defeated. #winning
Another name for the Buddha is “One Who Can Endure.”
This indomitable life state is the same power that we bring forth each day when we chant the name of our Buddha nature, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. 🏆
“Never forget that happiness is a flower that blossoms from the earth of patient endurance.” - Daisaku Ikeda 🌻
Endurance does not mean to simply wait it out or let time heal, but rather it means to persevere and take tenacious action while refusing to be defeated.
To persevere through life’s problems also means to defeat the voice inside of us each day that says, “This isn’t going to work out.”
By persevering in this way, not only are we victorious over whichever obstacle we’re facing, but we dispel our deep- seated negativity. We overcome our fears and anxieties and forge a life of freedom and happiness. 💯
“Please overcome every obstacle without being defeated, forging ahead on your chosen path with the brilliant light of victory shining in your hearts. ... That is the most truly human way to live. ... This is the essence of our Buddhist practice.” - Daisaku Ikeda
