THE LOTUS LANE

After a bad fight, the instinct to explain yourself is real — but the person you hurt usually needs to feel heard before they can hear you. Regret that stays in your head changes nothing; the smallest honest step forward changes everything.

“A person of wisdom is not one who practices Buddhism apart from worldly affairs but, rather, one who thoroughly understands the principles by which the world is governed.”

- Daisaku Ikeda, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 1
