Life passes by in an instant. In the twinkling of an eye, we grow old. Our physical strength wanes and we began to suffer various aches and pains. We practice Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism so that instead of sinking into feelings of sadness, loneliness and regret, we can greet old age with inner richness and maturity, as round and complete as the ripe, golden fruit of autumn.
American philosopher and educator John Dewey (1859-1952) said "Genuine culture stimulates the creative powers of imagination, of mind and of thought. It includes not merely free access to things of the mind and taste already in existence but a positive production of them so that the waters of knowledge and of ideas are kept fresh and vital. Culture is a stimulus. Culture is to produce things of value. Culture enriches life. Culture belongs to the people. (6/15/96)
Peace and culture are one. A genuinely cultured nation is a peaceful nation. and vice versa. When conflicts multiply, culture wanes and nations fall into hellish existences. The history of the human race is a contest between culture and barbarity. As we leave the tensions of the Cold War behind, the pressing question becomes "What will the coming century be like?" Only culture is a force strong enough to end conflict and lead humanity in the direction of peace.
