THE LOTUS LANE

When EMI stress makes you feel like you are just surviving month to month, it helps to remember that this financial winter is not permanent — and the act of facing it, even imperfectly, is already a form of strength.

“Winter always turns to spring. Never, from ancient times on, has anyone heard or seen of winter turning back to autumn. Nor have we ever heard of a believer in the Lotus Sutra who turned into an ordinary person.”

- Nichiren Daishonin, 'Winter Always Turns to Spring,' WND-1, p. 536
