We often heard, "Desire is the root of suffering". Should the flame of desires be extinguished if we're to be happy?

 

In this meeting, we will see how the practice of Nichiren Buddhism enable us to transform our desires into vitality of our lives that can propel us to happiness.

 

"When we base ourselves on the Buddhist Law, we can transform earthly desires, just as they are, into enlightenment. This is the principle of .earthly desires are enlightenment.. It.s not a matter of eradicating attachments but of seeing them clearly, to discern their true nature and utilize them as the driving force to become happy." - from Daisaku Ikeda, President of Soka Gakkai International (SGI)
