Sensei says I quote " Buddhas are never defeated by misfortunes or problems . They are able to transform all their sufferings into joy and expand their life state , do their HR and change their Karma " I unquote
Good evening !
I am practicing since last 20 years . I am blessed to have this practice in my life , as and when I face any challenge I completely base it on faith practice and study .
Time and again I have shared my victories and protections with you all . And here today , I have one more victory up my sleeve .
Shortly , in 2019 close to winter after we came back to Ksp ( after my husband's transplant surgery ) we got to know that our factory which we had leased out was completely devastated . Our tenant had taken away all our machines , and had not given us rent for the past 10 months . He had manipulated all the imp papers and created fake bills .
This was another blow for my husband who had just overcome his health conditions ; and was very weak and fragile .
And then series of struggles and challenges began for us : Filing F I R s , court cases reaching out to police officers against our tenant and what not .
Kaneko Ikeda's msg touched my heart I quote *" Nothing will change if we just worry about our situation or complain to others about it . But when we sit in front of the Gohonzon and chant Daimoku , everything starts to move in the direction of Hope , progress and victory "* I unquote. Deep within my heart I knew however grave the situation with my unwavering Faith we would overcome all situations as I had the mighty sword of NMHRK.
" Chanting Daimoku is the only way to break through deadlocks , whether of the body or mind " ( Ikeda's Youthful dairy )
I plunged myself in all the upcoming campaigns. I began to chant for more than 2 hours everyday being a part of all Relays and Alliance Daimoku.
Fighting all the campaigns wholeheartedly alongside with my members I started reaching out to my members who were suffering and gave them hope , by praying for each one's happiness and victory. I build up strong connections of Hope with them.
Life is a roller coaster which takes you up and down ; and to furthur worsen the situation Covid 19 hit the world. Life came to a standstill. All the cases we had filed became stagnant.
During the Invincible and Ever Victorious Campaigns Keeping my mentor in heart I began to actualise the campaigns with 3 D's of Daimoku , Dailogue Daily e visits.
I was building a highest state of life for myself by trying to study and internalise every word of the study material we received from the BSG. I am so greatful to these Campaigns as they keep you on your toes. This further helped me to chant for my tenant's happiness and wisdom. When we look at others as our enemies and carry grudges we are not able to change our Karma. I chanted so much for his happiness that everyday I would sit in front of the Gohonzon and sincerely forgive him without any malice with a Bodhisattva Never Disparaging Heart with no complains or grudges.
Even when I got to know that his family was inflicted with covid I prayed for his absolute health victory. I was rather thankful to him for taking away my negative karma. I have learnt through my practice to never hold a grudge or judge another.
Rather whatever little grudges I had they all transformed into gratitude .
Though each day was a new struggle for my husband ; but for me each day was a fresh determination ; it wasn't easy though. My life condition was high and I was totally calm as I knew I could pull out the power of Universe to protect us.
As I started reading Ikeda's Youthful dairy , I forged a deeper connect with Sensei and this inspired me to read NHR with my heart.
It fills me with immense joy to share that I have not missed a single meeting be it discussion gosho or any training course .
Towards November 18th I was determined to bring protection from within and to report the greatest actual proof so as to inspire many. I began to see the silver lining in clouds , when I got an opportunity to feature as live audience in WYGM.
Our discussion meetings overflowed with experiences and active participation of all 5 divisions.
The Gakkai world is my family , I have never been defeated since taking up the practice
I have won in all spheres of life be it Health financial or Relationships.
Sensei says I open " The swan that seems to be gliding effortlessly across the water is actually paddling very hard beneath the surface" I close
Mystically ; my son's friend who actually appeared a Buddha to me reached out to us who offered to help us to make a compromise with our tenant. He approached our tenant and to our surprise the tenant agreed for the same.
After a long awaited week of anguish mingled with determined prayers for compromise brought with it a good news. He agreed to pay back our rent and some compensation for the machines within a period of few months. I was spellbound ; How could everything get over in a week's time ? I knew it was the working of benevolent deities.
He visited us and apologised for his actions. And once again when he was right in front of me my heart forgave him.
My joy knew no bounds and I was so happy that I immediately sat down to offer my Gratitude to the Gohonzon.
Finally, my prayers had tapped his Buddhahood and once again The Law proved its validity I open " No prayer of the votary of Lotus sutra goes unanswered " I close
Although I have gone through so many challenges in my life , I am now filled with immense gratitude that I have been able to overcome them only because I single-mindedly continued to pray with firm faith in the Gohonzon. I also have immense gratitude to the remarkable leaders and friends in faith I have encountered over the years
Soaring towards 2030 I determine to create more actual proofs of hope victory and happiness in my life and in the lives of my members.
I am determined to follow my mentor's path and dedicatedly work towards KR.
I determine to exert myself and continue to do my HR based on NHR study.
I sincerely determine to make a larger financial contribution towards KR and support SGI activities with earnest faith.
I would like to Shaka buku my son's friend who made all this possible , already a true Buddha he is.
Thank you
