A man was walking down the beach at sunset. As, he walked along, he saw another man in the distance. He noticed this man kept leaning down, picking up something and throwing it out into the water, again and again. As, he approached even closer, he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach. He was throwing them back into the water, one by one.
Puzzled, he approached the man and said,
“Good Evening. I was wondering what you are doing.”
“I’m throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it’s low tide and all these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If, I don’t throw them back into the ocean, they’ll die up here from lack of oxygen.”
“But, there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can’t possible get to all of them. And, don’t you realize this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can’t you see that you can’t possibly make a difference?”
The man bent down and picked up yet another starfish, and threw it back into the ocean. With a smile he replied, “Made a difference to that one !!!”
Just remember, no matter how small the deed
it really does makes a difference.
Make a difference today.
Do something nice for someone else,
even if it’s just sending a card to friend and
letting them know somebody cares about them.

lets do our best
"Just what constitutes a deeply meaningful life? What is true happiness?
Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism is a teaching of hope that enables us to forge
a state of unsurpassed and indestructible happiness and to lead a life of
supreme value, while also helping others do the same.
"Everyone has the potential to attain Buddhahood; moreover, they can gain
that lofty state just as they are, and in fact are assured of being able to
do so in this lifetime. The Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin clearly
elucidates this wonderful path to enlightenment.
"The Daishonin’s profound teaching of attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime
was a revolutionary concept that turned prevailing Buddhist thought on its
head. Indeed, it continues to shine today as a principle that can powerfully
transform the age and open a bright future for our modern world in the 21st
century.
"...When we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we are both chanting the name of, and
calling forth, the Buddha nature in our own lives and the lives of others.
When our faith wins out over inner doubt and delusion, the power of our
inherent Buddha nature is called forth by the sound of our daimoku and
spontaneously manifests in our lives.
"The key point that set the Daishonin’s Buddhism apart from the other
Buddhist schools of his day was the establishment of this concrete means for
attaining Buddhahood. And from the time he first declared
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo until the moment of his death, the Daishonin ardently
strove to teach this supreme path of enlightenment to people throughout the
land."

Wild Wide Eyes
I noticed that the world looks brighter and sharper when I opened my eyes bigger. Don't laugh! Maybe you think we should have realised this since we were toddlers. But I don't think this is exactly true. Seeing the world through new big eyes brings a new wave of life to everything. Try it on your loved ones-see them renewed with a tinge of amazement at their being and infinite complexities from head to toe. It is because kids live their days with perpetually wild and wide eyes that they have endless fun, is that not true? Try a simple experiment: look at the palms of your hands. Aren't they amazing? Better still, gaze upon the serene countenance of a Buddha image.
Yes, we never saw the Buddha in real life-but many Buddha images are amazing enough. Then look into your own big wide eyes in the mirror-look at the shine. You are alive! And the Buddha Nature within shines on bright!

Mindfulness
i came across those words it was something which we have to put forth in our life its me doing it .
Mindfulness should be the most natural thing in the world-without any unnecessary strain or effort. But for us, habitually unmindful beings, being mindful might be a daunting task. The more unmindful we become, the more habitual it becomes, and attaining mindfulness soon feels near impossible. How scary! Let's all guard our minds more carefully from now on.
I was walking to the subway station in the near noon sun. I remembered my promise to myself to be as mindful as I could the whole day. The sun felt hot. I caught myself screwing up my face, frowning in its glare. This, I realise, only when I realised I was having mild dizziness. The mindfulness came this "late." Suddenly, I wasn't sure whether it was the heat of the sun that made me dizzy or that it was me feeling contempt for the sun that made me dizzy. Funny. I think the latter that is true. The sun meant no harm. It was me to be blame ultimately. I should have experienced the heat mindfully without attachment-that's all-no need to grumble about it inside.
