给讲解座谈会御书的干事的补充资料

 

[SLIDE 1]


 

复经

 

但一切依信心!有利,于不前之人无所用也。法华经剑,信心勇猛者之用。如虎添翼。此御本尊乃日之魂染墨成者也,信之、信之!佛意是法华经,日之魂只在南无妙法莲华经。(御书文白并列版II 25

 


[SLIDE 2]

但是一切终究是依信心而定!虽然有利,但是对于不敢进击的人是毫无用处的。《法华经》的利,只有信心勇猛的人能使用。如虎添翼。这御本尊是以日的生命染墨写而成的。要确信、要确信啊!尊的心意是《法华经》,日的魂魄只在南无妙法莲华经

 

 



[SLIDE 3]

A)背景与大意


  • 本篇御书是1273年8月15日,日莲大圣人52岁时,在流罪地佐渡一谷所写的。
  • 虽然收信人是经王,可是因为经王还是个婴儿,或许可以假定这篇御书实际上是写给其父亲,也是大圣人的门人。
  • 这篇御书是大圣人就门人报告经王病重,他们在为她祈求康复一事所作的回函。

B)重点分享

 

 

御文重点

 

·      确信和决意的祈求是利的先决条件

·      佛法的心即是"勇气"

·      学会精神就是为药

 

 

 

1充满确信和决意的祈求是胜利的先决条件

 

在我们这个月学习的这节御文之前,日莲大圣人教示,只要以对御本尊的强盛信心为根本的诚恳祈求,一定会获得诸天善神的守护(诸天善神是指宇宙的守护力)。

 

话虽如此,大圣人又接着说:"但是一切终究是依信心而定!"这是对我们的一个重要提醒:毕竟发挥出御本尊的大功德力的,是我们的"信心"

 

日莲大圣人的佛法教示,"妙法四力"是祈求如愿和成佛的四种力量。四力就是信力、行力、佛力和法力

"信力"是指信奉御本尊的心;行力是指自己唱诵南无妙法莲华经,同时也教他人唱诵,并且致力于广宣流布。

"佛力"是指佛救度众生的慈悲,至于"法力",则是指妙法所具有的使众生成佛的广大深远的利益。

犹如"信力""行力",信心是一种"力量"。 越是鼓起"绝对实现"的确信,御本尊就越将回报这份坚强 的"信力"。                                                                                                                                                                                     "行力",是指"唱题目的力量"和为他人、为社会而"进行广宣流布行动的力量"。这份"行力"越是强大,御本尊就将越加发挥出"佛力""法力"。

所以,如果我们是一分的信力、一分的行力,那显现出来的也将是一分的佛力和一分的法力。 一百的信力、行力将显现一百的佛力、法力。一万的信力、行力将显现一万的佛力、法力。

户田先生说过:"同一吊钟,是以牙签、或拿筷子、或持撞钟槌来敲击,其音响各不相同吧。越是用力敲击、其声则越响;相反,则会越弱。御本尊也一样,依据我们信力(相信的力量)、行力(行动的力量)的强弱,其功德亦千差万别。"

佛法即道理。祈求中充满无论如何也要取胜的决意,并且通过行动表现出来,也就是说,一亿的信力、行力将显现无量的佛力、法力,一定会为我们的生命和广宣流布打开一条前进之路。

 

2.日莲佛法的心即是勇气

 

在我们这个月学习的这节御文之前,大圣人写道:"要好好地相信这幅曼荼罗!南无妙法莲华经像狮子吼一样。"

大圣人图显的御本尊是佛界的体现。因此,只要以坚强的信心向御本尊祈求,没有什么是不能达成的。

关键是必须要如这节御文中所教导般"信心勇猛"。

剑再锋利,如果使用者胆怯,则毫无用处。同样的,《法华经》的利剑,也就是御本尊,只有"信心勇猛的人能够使用,则如虎添翼",能充分发挥一个人的潜力。

我们当中或许有人会想,"可是我没有勇气"。池田先生提醒我们:

 

勇气不是特殊人物才有的,而是每一个人都平等地拥有。但是,又有多少人把勇气这一取之不尽的宝藏封锁住,任凭自己漂泊在懦弱、沮丧、迷茫的人潮之中啊!这种人生不是极端的可惜吗!应"发掘出"勇气,打破胸中的懦弱。

 

(取自20001126SSA-SGI澳洲共同最高联合会议上的指导)

 

 

因此,有勇气的信心是打开通往幸福与胜利人生的力量的泉源。

 

3.学会精神就是变毒为药

 

大圣人在这篇御书中也教示:"(经王)四处遨游都无所畏惧,就像狮子王一样。""狮子王"是指生命中具有佛界的我们大家

池田先生在指导中说:

 

只要生命中充满佛力,就绝对不会败给魔。要涌现此宇宙般浩瀚的生命境界,唯一需要的就是"信心"。……当今世界已进入一个动荡的时代。然而,无论世界如何动荡,不,世界再动荡,信心也决不能动摇。只要信心坚如磐石,再严峻的情况也能打开一条前进的道路。因为妙法有"转祸为福"之力。

(摘自20081229日举行的代表者会议上的指导。暂译。)

 

 

"转祸为福"是指持有"变毒为药"的信心。无论什么障碍,全都可以转变为功德。这就是学会精神。现在是我们每一个人通过自己的人生,去展现这个伟大佛法的大实证的时候。

Purpose of Organisation



Bells of Dawn 7

Next, Shin'ichi spoke about why the Soka Gakkai organization was necessary.

"There may be some who feel that organizations and individual freedoms conflict. But groups of all kinds, including companies and nations, need a structured organization to achieve their aims. The Soka Gakkai, too, must have an organization as a means to enable everyone to engage in faith, practice, and study, and to promote our movement for kosen-rufu.

"You have all come to practice Nichiren Buddhism today because we have an organization. Also, an organization is necessary for many people to advance in an orderly fashion. Without an organization, we could easily become self-righteous and self-centered in our practice, or attached to our personal views or opinions. Were that to happen, we would veer from correct faith, practice, and study, and be unable to establish a correct way of life based on the Mystic Law.

"When people practice by themselves, they often lose sight of the way forward. To remain steadfast in faith, we need to unite with others. We need to encourage one another to live bravely, urge each other to keep striving in our Buddhist practice, and support one another in staying on the right path. From that perspective, I think it becomes clear how important the organization is.

"Please remember, however, that the organization is a means, and that the reason for its existence is to provide guidance and direction so that each member can strengthen their faith and become happy. The purpose of the Soka Gakkai organization is to help everyone attain absolute happiness and the life state of Buddhahood.

"Moreover, positions in the organization do not mean there's a hierarchy among members. Leaders in the Soka Gakkai serve as cornerstones of unity.

"Therefore, I hope you all will respect, understand, trust, and encourage each other as fellow members of society and together lead victorious lives."

The Soka Gakkai is a unique and unparalleled organization that is striving for people's happiness and world peace—in other words, for kosen-rufu. That is why Josei Toda said that the Soka Gakkai organization was more important to him than his own life.
