信赖不是一朝一夕能建立的，而是建立在一天天行为的扎实积累中。这种信赖就是人际关系的牢固基础。
Daily Encouragement

May 24
Trust isn't built overnight. It is fostered through the accumulation of our daily actions. Such trust is the cornerstone of human relationships.

🌞Good Day Myo Ho friends!
🙏 Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you.
🙆♀️Together we encourage one other.
👋👋Practicing Buddhism consistently, we are guaranteed to develop a life of complete happiness and fulfillment.
📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's
guidances.
🧲"A magnet and a piece of iron that has not been magnetized differ greatly in their ability to attract other pieces of iron or steel.
👋👋In a similar way, even among those who embrace faith in the Gohonzon, the benefits one receives will differ according to the strength of one's faith."
👉There are times when we pray for something and that prayer manifests (conspicuous prayer, conspicuous response).
💁🏻♀️Other times, our prayer may not lead to immediate results, but as we challenge ourselves, we develop qualities, like patience, perseverance, hope and determination (conspicuous prayer, inconspicuous response).
💁🏻♂️Still in other cases, because of our consistent practice, our life is naturally enhanced, and we enter the path of genuine fulfillment (inconspicuous prayer, inconspicuous response).
🛎🛎Finally, through our continued practice, our latent benefits appear at a crucial moment to protect us (inconspicuous prayer, conspicuous response).
📚The New Human Revolution, Vol 8, chapter " Securing the foundation", pg66–67.
🇧🇪Ikeda Sensei says:
👉There are cases in which a person's illness is cured soon after taking faith, but true benefit does not appear in this manner—nor is it anything like beginning to practice and coming into a large sum of money.
👉If the real benefits of faith came in the form of unexpected windfalls without any effort on our part, we'd become lazy and spoiled.
🤔So what is inconspicuous benefit?
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️It can be likened to the growth of a tree. You can spend day after day watching a tree, and nothing will seem to change.
🌳But if you observe it after five, 10, 20 years have passed, you will see that it has grown large and tall.
🙏In the same way, if you keep practicing this faith for five, 10, or 20 years, your negative karma will disappear, and you will change your destiny, accumulate good fortune and gain tremendous benefit.
🙏🙏This is what is meant by inconspicuous benefit, and it is the true benefit of Nichiren Buddhism.

-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"The benefit of one day's practice"
surpasses"a hundred years of practice
in the Land of Perfect Bliss".*Today (and this week) again,
with overflowing courage,let's devote ourselves
to both achieving kosen-rufu
and developing our lives!Let's write a golden journal
of our daily practice!
*The Daishonin also asserts: "A hundred years of practice in the Land of Perfect Bliss cannot compare to the benefit gained from one day's practice in the impure world" (WND-1, 736). Practising Buddhism just a single day in this "impure world" filled with suffering, he says, brings greater benefit than doing so for a whole century in the Land of Perfect Bliss, a realm free of pain and sorrows. The Daishonin is speaking of the immense benefit of Buddhist practice in the Latter Day of the Law, and his words underscore how noble it is to strive in a place that is so challenging and demanding.
(ref.- https://www.sokaglobal.org/resources/study-materials/buddhist-study/the-wisdom-for-creating-happiness-and-peace/chapter-15-17.html)Monday, May 23rd, 2022-- DAILY GOSHO --"Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon exists only within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. The body is the palace of the ninth consciousness, the unchanging reality that reigns over all of life's functions."(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon
- WND, Vol. 1, page 832)Selection Source: Kyo no Hosshin,
Seikyo Newspaper, May 23rd, 2022Tuesday, May 24th, 2022-- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT --"Nichiren Daishonin writes: "If you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the Mystic Law"
(WND –1, 3). Similarly, holding our mentor firmly in our hearts is the essence of Buddhism. The strength of the mentor-disciple bond is not determined by physical proximity. We forge an invincible connection when we live with our mentor always in our hearts. That is the great path of the oneness of mentor and disciple."

《為正義挺身》
日蓮佛法的精髓就是"立正安國"。 大聖人與令人類不幸、令民众受苦的魔性徹底对抗。只有战胜邪義，才能树立正義。青年要燃起這個直结御本尊的"破邪显正"精神。
"正義"就是"坚强"必须勇气十足地把那"坚强"的心廣傅。師匠戶田先生经常教导"要坚决的前进"。对待有烦恼的朋友要和谐懇切，对待心存邪恶的人要強硬，永远都以折伏精神奋斗。在正義的前进中，功德必會随之而来。

《自覺崇高的使命》
是由过去宿缘，今度来成日蓮弟子者歟！釋迦、多寶當有知矣。"在在諸佛土，常與師俱生"，豈是虚事也。
一一生死一大事血脈抄、御書一四O六頁
【大意】
由於過去的宿緣，今生才能成為日蓮大聖人的弟子吧！釋迦、多寶也知此事吧！法華經云："在在諸佛土，常與師俱生"不是謊言。
【詳解】
我们為了解決疾病、貧困、家庭問題等各種煩惱，而勤勵信心。有時或许有人會為自己的宿命深重而哭泣，抱怨為何只有自己 如此不幸？
我们要知道，雖有著各种煩惱，但如能因此而認真信心，正是無上的幸福。生而為人，是件很難的事，能值遇佛法更是難得。
我们能够比世界上五十多億人先信仰偉大的佛法，能生於輝耀佛教史上的廣宣流布時代，能以救濟民眾的實踐者的身分來歌颂人生，實在太幸福了。
我們生在幸福的星光照耀下，誠如經文所言，實是宿緣深厚，應知所感激。現時雖仍有少許煩惱，但不能因此而喪失信心。讓我們滿懷喜悦與榮耀，我們是負有崇高的使命，才出生於世，並貫徹身為學會員的使命。

Those who have firmly established their own characters, qualities and inner spiritual domain, no matter what happens, will possess the fundamental strength and capacity to change everything into a source of value. Such people are truly happy. 🙏🏻

无论发生何事，自己自身的 "人格 "、" 本领 " 和 " 内在精神王国 " 也固若金汤的人，才是具备了根本的坚毅和富足，能将一切转变得有价值 。这种人才是幸福者 。 🙏🏻

Now there is no need to attempt to surmise yourself how things will go. Whether or not your prayers is answered will depend on your faith; [if it is not] I will in no way be to blame. 🙏🏻

5月24日，御书圣训：
献给您的每一天。
非 可 以 私 意 计 量 者 也 。遂 乎 不 遂 但 依 信 心，全 非 日 莲 之 咎 。
《复日严女居士书》
绝对不可以用你自己的智慧去衡量御本尊的功德 。祈愿是否能实现，端视信心的厚薄，决不是日莲的过错 。 🙏🏻

Today's Gosho: 791
"The Lotus Sutra likewise has ten virtues, while the other sutras have ten faults. In the case of this sutra , the benefits gained from it increase in depth and bounty, and they continue down hto the fiftieth person who hears of it. In the case of the other sutras, however, there is no benefit to be gained even by the first person who hears them, much less by the second, third, or fourth person, and so on down to the fiftieth person."
Nichiren Daishonin (WND,92)
