Well friends, here it is again, and despite all of our differences and problems the world keeps turning and 
friday is here, and I suppose you are ready for what goodies the weekend might provide. I have no topic to present to you today and so am going to fill in with some wisdom both Eastern and Western so relax and give yourself a little more "down in the street wisdom & Live smart stuff". 


The government that can protect you from your enemies can be used as easily by your enemies to harm you.


~Harry Browne


A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.

~Hugh Downs

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

1. There are 3 kinds of Law: Social and Moral;   culturally and acceptable behavior;    civil and criminal law, or legally acceptable behavior;    and Universal Law or Cause and Effect.   We may avoid the consequences of the first two, but NEVER  the third.

2.  It is much easier to 'say' what is just and right, than it is to do what is just and right.

3.  There is always a piece of fortune in Misfortune.

4.  In all the affairs of life, at every moment, we have a choice.

5.  From the previous day, upon awakening, so to are we born with our karma from previous existences.  In this way, just as we sleep and wake, we are born and die, maintaining an eternal cycle of life.

FINALLY, NICHIREN BUDDHISM, THE BUDDHISM OF THE 'SUN', IS SHEDDING ITS LIGHT ALL AROUND TEH WORLD.   WE HAVE ARRIVED AT A TIME IN WHICH OUR MOVEMENT FOR PEACE, CULTURE AND EDUCATION, GROUNDED INT BUDDHIST PRINCIPLES, MUST SEND ITS LIGHT OF HOPE THROUGHOUT SOCIETY.

Here is to Hope, Health, and Happiness to each of you.    Cheers      CJ
