““I think at times such as when we are facing a difficult situation we have an opportunity to really internalize the teachings of the Buddha. All at once it becomes not so much of an intellectual endeavor as one rooted deep down reaching the core of our lives. It is at times like those when we can really understand what it means to take on the Buddha’s mantle and try to teach others of the greatness of Buddhism as we have read in the Lotus Sutra.””
