They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

This was fascinating. Thanks.
"One should cultivate contemplation in one’s foibles. The foibles are like fish, and contemplation is like fishing hooks. If there are no fish, then the fishing hooks have no use. The bigger the fish is, the better the result we will get. As long as the fishing hooks keep at it, all foibles will eventually be contained and controlled at will." -Zhiyi

What a kind person. I would Love to learn to recite the Lotus Sutra in the Zulu language and learn to say the names of certain Bodhisattvas and Buddhas while at it, especially doing it with the Sanskrit names would be cool. Namaste!
