"当下"这一瞬间蕴含着无限未来。推动历史也是剎那的判断与行动。为了不错过"时",每一瞬间都要全力以赴。

Daily Encouragement

July 26
The infinite future is contained within the present instant. Our momentary decisions and actions are what will shape history. To ensure that we do not let crucial moments slip by, we must constantly put our all into what we are doing.

🌞Good Day Myo Ho friends!
🙏Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you.
🙆‍♀️Together let's encourage one other.
👋👋Let's strive through faith. To be successful under any circumstances.
👋👋To battle our own complacency.
👋👋A Vow, A Resolve to win with a fresh determination on no matter what adversities, it is always through our Daimoku first attitude!


📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidance

💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️"No one has only faults or only merits.
🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️We all have a mixture of both.
🫵🫵Therefore,you should strive to develop and polish your positive attributes.As you do so,your shortcomings will fade until they are no longer apparent."


🛎🛎"It is also important that you take sufficient measures to prevent failure.
💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♀️People who are deadly serious about What they are doing are always studying and exerting their ingenuity to solve problems.
🫵🫵You won't be successful if you neglect such things.

🗣🗣🗣"You are greatly mistaken if you think that just because you practise this Buddhism your fields will yield abundant crops without any effort on your part.
Buddhism is a teaching of unsurpassed reason.
🛎🛎Therefore, the strength of your faith must manifest itself in the form of studying, exercising your ingenuity, and exerting twice as much effort as anyone else.
🙏📿"Earnestly chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the Wellspring for the energy to rise to that challenge.
💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♀️And your chanting must also be BSED ON A VOW."

🙏🙏A Vow means making a personal pledge and praying to fulfil it.

💁🏻‍♀️Some people just pray that everything they want will fall into their laps without effort on their own part.
💁🏻‍♂️But a religion that encourages that kind
of prayer disempowers people.
🙏🇧🇪Prayer in Nichiren Buddhism means chanting Nam- myoho-renge-kyo based on a vow.
👋👋The essence of this vow is the realisation of kosen-rufu.
"In other words, it means chanting resolutely with the determination, 'I will realise kosen-rufu in my country .
🙏💪To achieve that, I will show magnificent actual proof of the benefit of Nichiren Buddhism in my work.
🙏🙏Please enable me to give play to my fullest potential.
🛎🛎This is what our prayer should be like.
🔖"It is also important that we establish clear and concrete goals for what we hope to achieve each day and then pray and challenge ourselves to achieve each of them.
💪✌️This earnest determination gives rise to wisdom and resourcefulness, thereby leading to success.
👋👋In short, to win in life WE NEED DETERMINATION AND PRAYER, EFFORT AND INGENUITY.
🙄🙄🙄It is misquided to dream of getting rich quick, expecting to encounter a rare stroke of luck or some shrewd money-making scheme.
🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♀️That is not faith.
It is mere fantasy.
💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️"Our work is the mainstay that supports our lives.
👩‍⚕️👩🏼‍🏫👨🏻‍🏭👨‍🍳👩‍✈️Unless we show real evidence of victory in our work We cannot demonstrate the principle that faith equals daily life.
💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️Please rid yourself of any laxness and reapply yourself wholeheartedly to your work with a fresh determination."

👋👋"The greater the adversity, the more important it is to resolve that it is a decisive moment in your life and to keep
challenging yourseqlf.
🙏🪷🙏It is here that the beneficial power of the Gohonzon becomes apparent.
🙏💪Adversity is therefore an opportunity to prove the power of Buddhism."

"The ultimate aim of our Buddhist practice is, on an individual level, to attain Buddhahood in this lifetime and, on a societal level, to establish the correct teaching for the peace of the land through widely spreading the Mystic Law.

"In other words, it is for each of us to elevate our state of life, strive together to accomplish our human revolution and build a happy and secure society that makes respect for life and human dignity its spiritual foundation."

青年是改革的原动力
回顾任何时代,经常都是青年的热与力推动时代,开创新历史。
户田先生在战后的废墟中决心建设和平社会,呼唤出共同奋战、勇当先锋的"手持广布旗帜的青年"。
实现广宣流布,就要靠陆续辈出的地涌青年。没有比这青春舞台更有价值。希望大家在各自的使命天地上,能够无悔愉快的说:"在自己的时代达成了如此的前进",为后世留下了光辉的历史。
不可思议的是,世界各地也已踏入立誓青年奋斗的时代。此刻正是我们青年部大显身手的时候!
