-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Nichiren's followers are
like roaring lions."*
Dialogue with great conviction
is what opens the great road to
"Establishing the Correct Teaching
for the Peace of the Land."
Let's create dramatic victories
that will be remembered in history!

*"Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs. Slanderers are like barking foxes, but Nichiren's followers are like roaring lions."
- "On Persecutions Befalling the Sage"
(WND, Vol.1, page 997)

12th Jun. Daily Guidance By Daisaku Ikeda:

There is not a single person who is free of problems or worries. Nor are there any " trouble-free" families and communities. What matters is what we can take to resolve such problems and worries. The important thing is to exercise one's wisdom to the fullest and make persistent efforts, while aiming towards the victory that lies beyond one's present problems. 🙏🏻

6月12日,池田先生今日指导:

没有一个人没有 "问题" 或" 烦恼"。也没有这样的家庭、地域 。重要的是怎样去解决 。要朝着在 "烦恼" 彼方的 "胜利" 迈进, 想尽办法,不断努力 。 🙏🏻

信赖从爽朗的招呼开始
"早安!"、"谢谢!"一一青年精神爽朗的招呼声至为清新。
户田先生教导:"对于青年来说,重要的並非名誉,地位或财产,而是信用。"获取信用的第一步,也是从爽朗的打招呼开始。
年轻时,我一直谨记在公司要精神奕奕地打招呼。这爽朗的声音,在工作上也会产生出气势。
我也主动积极地跟住在同一个公寓的人或左鄰右舍打招呼。充满生气、明朗的招呼声,正是将信赖及友情网络扩展至社区、社会的力量。

Today's Gosho: 810*

"In this entire country of Japan, I am the only one who has been chanting Nam-Myoho-renge-kyo. I am like the single speck of dust that marks the beginning of Mount Sumeru or the single drop of dew that spells the start of the great ocean."

Nichiren Daishonin (WND, 672)

《确立纯真的信心》
须梨槃特三年不能暗诵十四字,亦能成佛。提婆熟读六万藏,而堕无间。是特表未代今世者也,不可以为他人之事!
三三藏祈雨事、御書一五五O页
【大意】
须梨槃特兄弟二人,费了三年也记不得十四个字,但是却能成佛。提婆达多能熟记书典六万藏,却落入无间地狱。此原理表明末法今时成佛的方式。不要以为这是他人的事,与自己无关。
【详解】
对于成佛来说,纯真的信心比知识还来得重要。须梨槃特记忆力虽不好,但信心纯真,一切依照釋尊的指示实践,于是最后成佛了。相反的,提婆达多脑筋好,又有能力,但因嫉妒心强,与釋尊敌对,因而,大地震裂,活生生堕入无间地狱。
这並非只是个故事,也适用于现代的原理。这並非他人事,而是关系到自己本身。不管有多高深的学识、能力,如果违反佛法,也是不能获得幸福。相反的,虽然脑筋差、记忆力不好,但若遵照本佛教示实践,最后必能得到幸福。
佛法深邃的哲理、崇高的理念,以我们凡人之力,当然不能于一朝一夕有所理解。如果没有从信心的实践中得到应证,对于那些高深的法理,确实无法领略。
精神抖擞地实践信心活动,具体的在每天早晚勤行、折服活动中体验御本尊的功德。
丰富的知识人人期盼,但是却不可因而存有傲慢之心。傲慢是阻碍成佛的元凶,修习佛法,重要的是始终谦虚、及充满清新的求道心。
