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

👋👋Your character is determined by how you challenge yourself, and how you wrestle with your problems, in a way that is unique to you.
👋👋This is how character is polished and becomes diamond-like.
👋👋Life is like a marathon as is faith.
💪💪By resolving to fight for our own happiness in order to pave the way for a better society, we can create the life and world we truly desire.


📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidance

🛎🛎🛎"A personal awareness is very important.
💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️When we do something, we should do it whole-heartedly and on our own initiative, not dragging our feet and only taking action when someone has hold us to.
🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️Personal awareness means self-awakening. The deeper your own awareness, the more your horizons will expand, and the more profound your life will become."

👋👋The constant in life, then, is our ability to make a determination in this moment.
🇧🇪 President Ikeda explains:
💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♀️"When your determination changes, everything else will begin to move in the direction you desire.
🙏✌️The moment you resolve to be victorious, every nerve and fiber in your being will immediately orient itself toward your success.
🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️On the other hand, if you think,
😢😢"This is never going to work out," then, at that instant, every cell in your being will be deflated and give up the fight, and everything then really will move in the direction of failure."

👬👭"You [youth] should not be hasty.
🛎🛎It is unreasonable to suppose that you can become both spiritually and socially stable in one fell swoop . . .
🙏🙏Life is like a marathon as is faith.
💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♀️Though you may lose the lead in the midst of the race, victory or defeat is decided at the finish line.
🙏💪Please steadily advance along the fundamental path of "faith manifests itself in daily life," living in the way that best suits you."

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's not our circumstances
that determine
our happiness or unhappiness.
It depends on our life state
and inner resolve.
Let's develop the type of life state
that cannot be defeated
or destroyed by
any kind of difficulty,
no matter what,
and subsequently savour
"absolute happiness"* in our lives!

*"Absolute happiness is something that doesn't change with time; it's eternal and unaffected by external factors, welling forth from the depths of one's life. It is not a transitory thing like worldly status and fortune or some other fleeting satisfaction."

"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

"In terms of our Buddhist practice, to 'cast off the transient and reveal the true' means to awaken the awareness that we are heirs to the Buddha's eternal vow and begin our own dauntless efforts for people's happiness. It starts with one person confidently setting forth on the same great path the Buddha vowed to walk. When such deeply committed individuals unite and launch a movement to 'establish the correct teaching for the peace of the land,' they will build a Buddha realm, a realm of security and happiness for all. This is the true meaning of 'casting off the transient and revealing the true' in Nichiren Buddhism."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [77] Awakening to Our "Greater Self" and "Greater Mission," A Buddha in Inner Enlightenment, a Bodhisattva in Outer Action, September 2021 issue of Daibyakurenge.

🙏29th July Daily Guidance by Daisaku Ikeda:
If a person is hungry, we should give him bread to eat. When there is no bread, we can at least give words that nourish. To a person who looks ill or is physically frail, we can turn the conversation to some subject that will lift his spirit and fill him with hope and determination to get better.

七月二十九日今日指导:
面对饥饿的人就给以面包,如没有面包,就 "以说话做食粮" 给他们充饥吧。看到脸色欠佳的人,为身体担心的人,就以温暖的言语令他们心情放松,燃起 "要健康起来!" 的希望。🙏

29th Jul. DAILY GOSHO

A man is like a pillar, a woman like the crossbeam. A man is like the legs of a person, a woman like the trunk. A man is like the wings of a bird, a woman like the body. If the wings and the body become separated, then how can the bird fly? And if the pillar topples, then the crossbeam will surely fall to the ground. 🙏🏻

The Treasure of a Filial Child

7月29日,御书圣训:
献给您的每一天。

男 如 柱,女 如 桁 。男 人 如 足,女 人 如 身。男 如 羽,女 如 身 。羽 与 身 各 别,何 以 为 飞 ? 柱 倒 则 桁 堕 。

(与千日女居士书) (《孝子财御书》)

将男人比喻做柱子,女人则是横木 。男人比喻是足,女人则是身体 。男人比喻为翅膀,女人则是身体 。翅膀与身体如果各自分开,如何能够在天空飞呢?柱子倒时横木一定堕地 。 🙏🏻

展开撼动青年的言论战
现今是"没有哲学的时代"、"没有信念的世道"人生应该怎样过活?社会应该往哪个方向走?真正正确的思想是什么?一一能够抱持确信回答这些问题的人在哪里?
日莲大圣人教示:"此经文胜于一切经,如狮子为地行者之王,如大鹫为空飞者之王。"(〈覆千日女居士书〉,御书一三七八页)
创价学会秉持"思想界之王"的自豪,为民众弘扬生命尊严的哲理。
广宣流布就是言论战。我们青年部绝不屈服于任何虚伪和邪义。我们要展开和平、正义和幸福的对话,来撼动和唤醒一个又一个青年的灵魂。
《胜利的人学》

Today's Gosho: 857

"The Lotus Sutra is the king of sutras, the direct path to enlightenment, for it explains that the entity of our life, which manifests either good or evil at each moment, is in fact the entity of the Mystic Law. If you chant Myoho- renge-kyo with deep faith in this principle, you are certain to attain Buddhahood in this lifetime."

Nichiren Daishonin (WND, 4)
