The treasures of the heart

As the Buddhist teacher Nichiren states: "More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all." "Treasures of the storehouse" refer to money and other forms of material wealth. "Treasures of the body" are skills and abilities, as well as physical health. "Treasures of the heart" are the riches that we build within our lives. This indicates the kind of inner strength that cannot be defeated by any tribulation. It refers to the power to live out our lives in a creative way, with constant joy, fulfillment and vitality.
