㊗️π¨π©π§π¦π§§π΅️π΅️The amount of Daimoku we chant each day is the good fortune and benefit we create by exerting ourselves in faith and will definitely manifest themselves in the lives of our children, grandchildren and all our family.
π Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidances.
π·π΄Buddhism is the supreme medicine.
The Daishonin says that the benefit of faith extends to the "preceding seven generations and the seven generations that followed." ( MW-7,172). (LG,p.139)
ππΏ"Chanting daimoku is a teaching that is "easy to embrace and easy to practice."
π♀️ππ»π♂️Anyone can do it.
⏰It can be done anytime,anywhere.
ππIt is the most highly refined yet simplified method of Buddhist practice.
ππAs such, it is perfect Buddhist teaching for not only the twenty-first century but for the twenty second, thirtieth and fiftieth centuries, and for the 10,000 years and more of the Latter Day of the Law- in fact, for all eternity."
ππΏπ"Gongyo is a practice that calls forth and activates the infinite power that the microcosm inherently possesses.
π♀️It transforms your fate, breaks through any apparent dead ends and converts sufferings into happiness.
π♂️It creates a transformation, a revolution of the microcosm. It is a diagram in miniature of kosen-rufu in our lives."
π·π΄President Toda, smiling brightly, would say:
π¨"If a large hospital were to concoct a treatment you took every day for an
hour that would enable you to become happy without fail in both body and spirit, the place would no doubt be packed.
π♀️Regardless of whether it was expensive or if you had to wait in line for hours, people would come every day to receive it.
ππ We can get this medicine, the mystic medicine of daimoku, in our own homes
-and while sitting down, at that.
π―All we need to pay for are candles and incense.
π♂️So from the stand point of cost, it is the least expensive method for happiness
available. If someone just grumbles and fails to carry out the practice, it's a great waste."
πGood afternoon Myo Ho friends !
π Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you.
ππHave a great weekend ahead.
π♀️Together we encourage one other.
ππ❤️Members of the women's division to become experts in happiness and daily life. Steering our families on a course toward happiness. Raising our children with compassion and wisdom.Always achieving Faith for a harmonious family.
π Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidances.
ππ€±"Optimists are raised by good mothers.
πIt is important for mothers to be optimistic and not brood over their troubles.
π©π§π¦Such cheerfulness, while not only being beneficial for the mother herself, will also become a source of strength for the children throughout their lives.
π♀️ If a mother is full of vitality, then her children will be also.
ππ❤️Thus, she will enable the whole family and those around them to feel at ease to go about their activities full of hope."
π" The Daishonin likens the selfless love of a mother for her off spring to the compassionate actions of a Bodhisattva and the majestic power of the heavenly god Boten.
ππΏHe says that if the mother takes faith in the Mystic Law, her love❤️ for her children will SURELY BE COMMUNICATED TO THE GOHONZON and enable BOTH the mother and child to reach the world of Buddhahood.
π·π΄Ikeda Sensei ✍️
π©"Women are, in my view, natural
peacemakers.
π♀️As givers and nurturers of life, through their focus on human relationships and their engagement with the demanding
work of raising children and protecting family life they develop a deep sense of
empathy that cuts through to underlying human realities."
π♂️"I would like to request that, no matter how busy you may be, you will find the time to get together to talk with your children.
πThe length of time is not important.
πͺWHAT MATTERS IS THAT PARENTS USE THEIR WISDOM.
π♀️π♂️" We must make conscious efforts to verbalize and communicate our thoughts and feelings to our children and to do so wisely, in a relaxed and open manner, without undue haste.
π♀️π♂️Finding wisdom for this is an expression of our faith."
