Daily Encouragement
Daisaku Ikeda's

September 24
In the hearts of youth are found an endless blue sky of hope, a brightly burning crimson sun of passion, and a wellspring of irrepressible courage and boundless creativity. Youth are the protagonists of a new age. The future depends entirely on the aims they cherish, how hard they study, how bravely they act, and how seriously they work to develop themselves.

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

👋👋 The journey to propagate
the Mystic Law is long; let us encourage each other and advance together.

👋👋What is the purpose of life?
It is happiness. The goal of Buddhism and of faith, too, is to become happy.


📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidances

🇧🇪SGI President Ikeda states:
💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️"Ultimately, happiness rests on how we establish a solid sense of self or being . . .
👋👋Happiness does not lie in outward appearances nor in vanity.
💓💖It is a matter of what you feel inside; it is a deep resonance in our lives" 

💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️"In addition, the things that constitute relative happiness, such as possessions, relationships or circumstances, all disappear upon death.
🙏😇Absolute happiness, however, which is the life condition of a Buddha, exists on the level of life that is eternal and transcends life and death.
🙏🙏It is a benefit that we carry with us in lifetime after lifetime."

🙇🙇‍♀️Some people say that happiness is just a state of mind and that if you think you're happy you will be, even if you're suffering from illness or poverty.
💁🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♀️But if it's just something you're telling yourself without actually feeling any real sense of happiness in the depths of your being, then it's ultimately meaningless…..


🤔How do you achieve absolute happiness?

👋👋"In a condition of absolute happiness there is total freedom from fear and anxiety. With consistent practice we develop the capacity to enjoy life in whatever circumstances and stay unperturbed by the ups and downs of our lives.
💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️Absolute happiness does not depend on other persons or some circumstances.
🙏🙏It is created by us, by our regular practice of Nichiren Buddhism.
🙏📿Our faith enables us to to receive joy
that is derived from the Mystic Law."

👋👋"Absolute happiness means that ✅living itself is happiness;
✅being alive is a joy,
✅no matter where we are or what our circumstances entail.
🙏❤️It comes from within and is not contingent on external factors, which is why it's called "absolute."
🙏😇Buddhists associate this type of happiness with "attaining Buddhahood."

💪💪"A life of limitless value creation in pursuit of absolute happiness by cultivating a strong life force and bounteous wisdom."

🛎🛎"The truth is that devoting ourselves to others' happiness is actually a necessary condition for becoming genuinely happy ourselves."

🎓Albert Einstein✍️
🫵🫵"If you want to live a happy life,
🪢tie it to a goal,
🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♂️not to people or objects."

🛎🛎"The philosophy that absolute happiness is cultivated from within means that we must resist the tendency to allow other people or our environment to determine whether we become happy.
🙏Nichiren Buddhism empowers us to take on all of life's challenges and transform them into fuel for limitless growth, where living itself becomes the greatest joy."


🇧🇪Ikeda Sensei's encouragement :
🙏❤️"It is my ardent wish that you each fulfill all of your heart's desires, so that you can declare in your closing days,
🙏 "My life has been a happy one.
🙏I have no regrets. It has been a satisfying life."

"If there is one who can cause others to awaken to and take faith in a teaching such as this, then that person is their father and mother, and also their good friend. This is a person of wisdom."

Nichiren Daishonin (WND, 620/ 621)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Became your beloved departed father chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo while he was alive, he was a person who attained Buddhahood in his present form, in the same way that stones change into jewels. The actions you have taken, then, are the very height of filial piety and concern.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Even though we practice Nichiren Buddhism, I'm sure we all have problems and difficulties. On top of that, we've taken on organisational responsibilities, which means we are sharing in our members' struggles and hardships. It may feel like we are climbing a steep hill while shouldering a burden of worries several times our weight. But by regarding the members' sufferings as our own, we can vastly expand our life state of life. It is by striving tirelessly for kosen-rufu through the most challenging circumstances that we will gather great fortune and enjoy wonderful benefits. Please never forget the Buddhist Law of cause and effect."
