WHAT
IS TRUE JOY in life?
This is a difficult question--and
one that has occupied a great many thinkers and philosophers. Joy can quickly give way to suffering. Joy is short and suffering
long. Also what passes for joy in society is superficial. It cannot compare with the joy deriving from the Mystic Law. The
key then lies in cultivating a sate of mind where we can declare without reservation that life itself is a joy. This is the
purpose of our buddhist practice. _ Daisaku Ikeda
