When people's hearts change and they arouse great courage, their voice, expression, behavior, and spirit also change, and they can transform every aspect of their lives and environment.

🌞Good afternoon Myo Ho friends!
🙏Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you.
🙆‍♀️Together let's encourage one other.

👋👋Faith in the Mystic Law gives us the power to win in life. We chant and take action, and keep chanting through our struggles.
👋👋Anyone is able to transform the worst of fate into the best of fortune is life's champion!
👋👋By making our goal, the way of life of great good.

📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidance

💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♀️"No one can better bask in summer's balm than those who have endured winter's bite.
💁Similarly, it is those who have suffered through life's darkest hours who are able to truly savor the bright dawn of happiness.
💪✌️The person who has transformed the worst of fate into the best of fortune is life's champion."

🙏📿"Faith is the function of human life that dispels the dark clouds of doubt, anxiety and regret, opens one's heart and orients it toward good."


🇧🇪💁🏻‍♂️Mr. Makiguchi declared that "the supreme essence of Buddhism is demonstrating a way of life of the highest value,"which he called
"The way of life of great good."

💁🏻‍♂️He added that the purpose of our organization is to demonstrate, study and guide others to the way for creating this supreme value—unsurpassed happiness—in our daily lives, through how we actually live.

👋👋Mr. Makiguchi articulated the motto of Soka education as:
👣👣👣"Instead of walking along gazing dreamily at the sky, make sure you keep your feet on the ground and advance one step at a time!"
💪✌️✌️Firmly grounding ourselves in our daily lives, we move forward steadily, winning day by day.
👋☝️This is a path filled with hope leading to a sound life, a solid treasure in contrast to empty daydreams."

""Abutsu-bo had written to the Daishonin asking about the significance of the emergence of the treasure tower described in the Lotus Sutra. The Daishonin responds in this letter* that it has great significance and embodies a number of profound teachings. He then goes on to say: 'In essence, the appearance of the treasure tower indicates that on hearing the Lotus Sutra, the three groups of voice-hearers** perceived for the first time the treasure tower within their own lives' (WND–1, 299).

"'The treasure tower within their own lives' is the key. In other words, the Daishonin explains, Shakyamuni's disciples realise that the great treasure tower that appeared before them is actually the treasure tower that comes forth and appears in their own lives (cf.OTT, 229).

"The Daishonin continues: 'Now Nichiren's disciples and lay supporters are also doing this' (WND–1, 299), indicating that it is vital for his followers, too, to perceive their inner treasure tower.

"This means we must awaken to the fact that the treasure tower—the noble life state of Buddhahood as vast as the universe—is inherent in our own lives. This is the true significance of the emergence of the treasure tower. It also means seeing the treasure tower in the lives of others."

* On the Treasure Tower
** Three groups of voice-hearers: this refers to Shakyamuni's voice-hearer disciples who received the prophecy of enlightenment in the Lotus Sutra as they came to understand the truth of Shakyamuni's teachings through the three cycles of preaching. The three cycles are preaching through doctrine, preaching through parable and preaching through illuminating the disciples' past relationship with Shakyamuni.

🙏13th July Daily Guidance by Daisaku Ikeda: Don't look to others; look to yourself. If you make yours a meaningful life of which you can say with calm objectivity,"It was good. It was full of triumph," then you have lived a glorious life. The person with such a strong character is a happy person.

七月十三日,池田先生今日指导:
不是看别人怎样说,是看自己。重要的是自身能够自豪地说自己"做得好","取得胜利",要这样地创造出人生价值,才是光荣的人。貝有如此坚强"人格"的人是幸福的。🙏

Today's Gosho: 841

"Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, as we have already seen, possesses the three virtues of sovereign, teacher, and parent in relation to the living beings of this saha world. He is the Buddha to whom they are greatly indebted. Anyone who would abandon such a Buddha and put faith in the Buddha of some other realm…., is guilty of committing the twenty cardinal sins and hence will surely fall into the evil paths of existence."

Nichiren Daishonin (WND2, 25)

成为带给身边希望的"太阳"
日莲大圣人教导:"只要太阳东升,所有星星的光芒立刻消失不见。"(〈覆松野遗孀女居士书〉,御书一四六七页,大意)
受持妙法的青年,全部是"幸福的太阳"。朗朗的唱诵题目,以朝气蓬勃的生命之光来照亮周围。
希望和喜悦並不是由他人赋予,而是要自己创造出来,继而广传给大家。
要孝顺一直辛勤奋斗的父母,鼓励有烦恼的朋友。要紧记率先的行动会创造青春的价值,推进广宣流布的前进。

《六种生病的原因》
明病起因缘有六:一、四大不顺故病,二、饮食不节故病,三、坐禅不调故病,四、鬼神得便,五、魔所为,六、业起故病。
一一覆大田居士书(业病能治事)、御书一O四八页
【大意】
说明生病的原因有六种:一是因为四大不顺所以生病;二是因为暴饮暴食所以生病;三是因为坐禅不调所以生病;四是因为恶鬼乘隙而入;五是因为魔的作祟;六是因为宿业所以生病。
【详解】
这是天台大师《摩诃止观》的一节,由生命论立场解说生病的原因。首先是因为四大(地、水、火、风)不顺。譬如火大的不顺,是指冷热温度的不顺,例如天气、季节等,季节变化时病例特多,尤其是天气异变更易生病。
第二是暴饮暴食。自古为了肠胃健康,有"饭吃八分饱"的话,饮食是否有节制,对健康关系重大。
第三是生活规律紊乱,损害身体。人难免会有无法充分睡眠和休息的日子,但若是伤及身体,一切的努力都会成为泡影。所以规律的生活很重要,疲劳要马上休息,不能勉强,这样才能有健康的生活。
第四是细菌侵入体内而生病,现代医学发达,对这类病大都能夠完全治癒。
第五是因为魔的作祟,使生命的规律紊乱,如精神错乱等。
第六是因业而起的病,因过去的宿业而起。魔与业病,是因妨碍信心的活动,诽谤正法之罪而起,所以要靠佛法才能解决。
生病反射出生命现象的问题。许多病因必须从永远生命的观点上去理解,惟有究明生命本质的佛法,才能从根本予以解决。总之,日常持续信仰,可以说是最好的健康方法。让我们强而有力地唱题,培养源源不断的丰富生命力,过着健康的日子!
