Strengthen your resolve more than ever … Ice is made of water yet colder than liquid water

每日箴言

一点点时间都不浪费,如何有效地利用,如何做出看不见的努力,这就是一切胜败的关键。

Daily Encouragement

August 14
Victory in any endeavor is decided by how effectively and fully we use our limited time, and how hard we work even when our efforts go unnoticed.

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

👋👋To be studying the great principles
of Nichiren Buddhism is truly admirable. 👋👋Those who read the Daishonin's writings every day, even just a little at a time, are able to tap fresh inspiration that will keep their faith healthy and sound.

🙏🙏The Daishonin's writings are incredibly profound.
👍✌️📖Each reading brings new discoveries and rouses fresh
determinations.


🙏Nichiren Daishonin ✍️

👀👀"To the eyes of ordinary people, they look like characters.
💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️Persons of the two vehicles [i.e., voice-hearers and cause-awakened ones] perceive them as the void.
🙏😇Bodhisattvas look on them as innumerable doctrines. Buddhas recognise each character as a golden Shakyamuni.
👋👋This is what is meant by the passage that says,
🙏📖"[If one can uphold this sutra],
one will be upholding the Buddha's body" [LSOC11,220]. (WND-1, 486)

🙇🙇‍♂️🙇‍♀️Similarly, the words of a passage in the Daishonin's writings can take on a different depth of meaning depending on our life state or mind-set.


📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidance

🇧🇪💁🏻‍♂️"President Toda often used to say that when studying the Daishonin's writings, rather than focusing on the
meaning of the words,
🙏😇🙏we should strive to connect with the Daishonin's towering conviction, his solemn, fervent commitment to kosen-rufu, and his boundless compassion in seeking to lead all people to enlightenment.

😌It's fine to just read the Daishonin's writings a little bit at a time.
💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️It doesn't matter if you can't understand everything at first. What matters is to keep trying to read the Daishonin's writings and steadily engraving them in your life.
👋👋Over time, as you repeat that process, you will create a solid core of philosophy in your life.
Those who possess such an inner core will not be shaken by life's never-ending changes.
🙏😀The ultimate aim of our Buddhist study is to become happy. We practise Nichiren Buddhism not only for our
own happiness but to help others become happy, too."

"Shakyamuni Buddha transferred this teaching to Bodhisattva Superior Practices, and now Nichiren propagates it in Japan.
With regard to the transfer of teachings, it is divided into two categories: general and specific. If you confuse the general with the specific even in the slightest, you will never be able to attain Buddhahood and will wander in suffering through endless transmigration of births and deaths."

Nichiren Daishonin (WND, 747)

下种会产生无量无边的生命财宝
折伏就是彻底重视每一个人,真诚地作鼓励的最尊贵的行动。
有时候无论怎样为了对方的幸福而拚命诉说也未必能打动对方、也会为此感到可惜。但这一切的辛劳,全部会转变为生命财宝。
日莲佛法是下种佛法。只要能够诉说佛法,纵使是一言半句也好,都能在这人的生命大地植下佛种。这佛种有朝一日定会萌芽开花,结出果实。
正因为创价之友努力不懈地持续于各地撒播佛种,广宣流布的森林已扩展到世界各个角落。
现今的社会在强烈追求佛法。希望大家勇气凛然地展开青年的信念对话。
《胜利的人学》
