The truth is that devoting ourselves to others' happiness is actually a necessary condition for becoming genuinely happy ourselves.
___________________________
🌞Good afternoon Myo Ho friends !
🙏 Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you.
🙆‍♀️Together we encourage one other.
👋👋Becoming the Happiest Woman🌻
🇧🇪Sensei always taught us that happiness means to never be defeated by our problems.The secret to happiness lies in building a strong inner self, a self that no trial or hardship can diminish.
👋👋Always chant daimoku first!

📚Gosho: Nichiren Daishonin (WND, 533)

💁🏻‍♀️"A woman is like water, which takes on the shape of its container.
💁🏻‍♀️A woman is like an arrow, which is fitted to the bow.
💁🏻‍♀️A woman is like a ship, which is dependent on its rudder.
👋👋Therefore, if her husband is a thief , a woman will become a thief, and if her husband is a king, she will become the consort.
😇If he is a man of goodness, she will become a Buddha.
🙏🙏Not only this life but also the life to come depends on her husband."


📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's
guidances.

👩‍❤️‍👨Faith for a harmonious family🙏

👥"It is said that most marriages are not 100 percent successful.
🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️Some have even gone so far as to suggest that 99 percent of all marriages are unsuccessful!
🏡In reality, many families who appear to have everything going for them actually have many problems.
🇫🇷It was the French essayist Montaigne who said:
🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️"There is hardly less torment in running a family than in running a whole
country."
🙎‍♀️🙎‍♂️When a couple has similar life conditions, it is only natural that they will lock horns from time to time.
👋👋BUT IF YOU CAN TAKE A STEP BACK AND REGARD YOUR PARTNER WITH COMPASSION YOU WOULD HAVE FOR YOUR OWN CHILD FOR EXAMPLE, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BE MORE FORGIVING AND EMPATHETIC, AND AVOID UNNECESSARY CONFRONTATIONS.
😅😂How much better it would be not to take your partner's nagging so personally, to be bighearted enough to see it as an expression of their natural vitality, a sign that she or he is alive and well.
🫵🫵If you can achieve such an expansive life state, then even your partner's nagging will sound instead like sweet birdsong.
🛎🛎Most important, in any case, is to have love and compassion for one another.
🙏📿Other than that, the key is to chant daimoku together, aspiring for the greatest heights, for true happiness.
💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♀️All couples are essentially two separate individuals with different backgrounds and life experiences.
👋👋That's why, without patience and a conscious effort to understand each other, they cannot succeed as a couple.
💙🫶🏻❤️It takes patience and perseverance for a couple to make a life together, while striving to create a safe, supportive home environment, to work at their respective jobs, to care for their children and provide them with a proper education, as well as to take action to help others.

💙🤝❤️HAPPINESS IS BUILT ON PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE.

👉There are many who dream about happiness without being willing to invest much effort. But that is merely a dream
- a fairy tale, a simplistic and childish view of life.
💔This illusion breaks up many marriages.
🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️To seek happiness that way can only end in misery.
💪❤️Making steady efforts to build a life together, having the patience and perseverance to move forward together
these are the foundation from which real love develops.
💙🤲❤️Real love means wanting to share your life with the other person forever.

👩‍❤️‍👨Real marriage is when you have been
married for 25 years and feel an even deeper love than you did when you first met. True love is something that deepens.

🛎Love that does not is on the level of simple attraction or liking.
🙏It is also important for a couple to thank and praise each other often. It can be for anything - just appreciating
and praising each other is what matters. 🛎🛎Nothing comes from pointing out the other person's faults.
😖That's just foolishness.
💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️Couples should strive to make their home a bright and happy place.
🫵🫵You have to decide,
💙🌞❤️"As long as I'm around,
☀️I'll always make things happy and bright." If you yourself shine like the sun, there will be no darkness wherever you go in the world.
🌈🌤Similarly, if there is one person in the home who shines like the sun, the entire family will be illuminated."


🇧🇪Ikeda Sensei's encouragement :
🌻"Please become the happiest woman, and don't forget to smile." 😃

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
This is the Buddhism in which
"earthly desires lead to enlightenment."
With daimoku as our foundation,
the more we face our problems
and challenge them
the more our circumstances
are going to open up.
Let's continue
to tenaciously advance!

Nevertheless, even though you chant and believe in Myoho-renge-kyo, if you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the Mystic Law but an inferior teaching.

""Having the courage to strive without begrudging our lives doesn't mean not valuing our lives. Such selfless devotion means dedicating ourselves wholeheartedly to the Mystic Law—the teaching of life's supreme dignity—in our daily affairs and life as a whole. It means breaking free from the petty concerns of our lesser self and tirelessly taking action for the happiness of others based on a greater self, which is one with the life state of Buddhahood."

Today's Gosho: 795*

"Fifty years in the life of a human being is equivalent to no more than one day and one night in the lives of beings in the heaven of the four heavenly kings. And these heavenly beings, passing such days and nights, with thirty such days to a month and twelve such months to a year, live to be five hundred years old.
Therefore, twenty-two hundred or more years in the lives of human beings will be equivalent to only forty-four days in the lives of beings in the heaven of the four heavenly kings."

Nichiren Daishonin (WND, 340)

Difficulties only make the strong stronger. Sufferings may be poison to the weak, but they are medicine for the strong.

困难使强者愈益坚强。苦痛对弱者来说也许是"毒",但对强者来说却能成为药。

《徹底锻煉自己》
当青年一人奋起时,就能真正发放光辉。不是交托给他人,而是親力承担广布重任,为此而奋斗。
学会就是锻炼的地方。希望大家现在要咬紧牙关,挑战辛劳,付出的辛劳能琢磨生命,最后必会胜利
我也是独自承担一切,为开创胜利而烦恼、深思,诚心祈求,甚至忙得连抱怨的时间也没有。
能承担起广宣流布组织的重任,不就是最伟大的青春吗!定能留下不朽的历史。
《勝利的人學》

🙏28th May Daily Guidance by Daisaku Ikeda :
Do you give up the struggle to overcome your own limitations on the first attempt, or do you keep on with it, trying a second time, a third time, and continuing on in the challenge for the rest of your life? That is the only difference between the genius and the ordinary person. When all is said and done, winning over oneself-personal triumph - is the only way forward.

五月二十八日今日指导:
向着超越自己的极限挑战,一次就罢休,还是两次, 三次, 一生持续不断地继续下去呢? 这大概就是天才和凡人的分别之处。最终,除了"战胜自己"之外,就没有其它办法能够开拓出轨道来。🙏

28th May. DAILY GOSHO

One who has fallen to the ground recovers and rises up from the ground. Those who slander the Lotus Sutra will fall to the ground of the three evil paths, or of the human and heavenly realms, but in the end, through the help of the Lotus Sutra, they will attain Buddhahood. 🙏🏻

The Proof of the Lotus Sutra

5月28日,御书圣训:
献给您的每一天。

倒 于 地 者,还 是 扶 地 而 起 。毁 谤 法 华 经 之 人,虽 倒 于 三 恶 及 人 天 之 地,仍 借 法 华 经 之 手 而 成 佛,是 此 道 理 。

《法华证明抄》(《死活抄》)

跌倒在地上的人,仍然是要撑扶着地面再爬起来 。阐明了对法华经犯下谤法的人,虽然因为这个罪业而倒在地狱、饿鬼、畜生的三恶道,以及人界、天界的大地,同样还是要借助法华经的手才能成佛的道理 。 🙏🏻
