FIRST, chant daimoku.

FIRST, chant daimoku.

First, be in good health.

First, work cheerfully.

First, establish your finances.

And first, take the initiative.

“SUCH-and-such is sick. So-and-so is suffering financially. I must do my best to give them encouragement.” To think in this way, to offer prayers and take action for others’ happiness – this is the behaviour of a Buddhist. Those who make efforts to bring joy to others even though they may be suffering themselves are bodhisattvas.
