A modest person has gratitude. A heart of appreciation gives rise to a depth of feeling that in turn becomes the wellspring of happiness.

🌞Good afternoon Myo Ho friends !
🙏Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you.
🙆♀️Together we encourage one other.
👋👋Faith for a harmonious family is one of the eternal guidelines of the Soka Gakkai.
👋👋The great French writer Victor Hugo said:
😄"Laughter is like sunshine; it chases winter away from the human face."
👋👋Making steady efforts to build a family together, having the patience and perseverance to move forward together through faith for a harmonious family.
📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidance.
💁🏻♂️💁🏻♀️"Outward appearance is not important-
❤️🙇♂️🙇🙇♀️what counts is what is inside our hearts.
💙🙏❤️Are there heart-to-heart bonds?
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️Some families may always be together physically but are estranged at heart.
👨👩👧👦Some families can only get together
for brief periods but manage to enjoy concentrated and lively heart-to-heart communication when they do meet.
Families that share bonds of closeness based on day-to- day efforts are ones in which the members feel comfortable and at ease with each other, no matter where
they are or what they're doing."
👨👩👧👦"Faith for a harmonious family"
🙏Nichiren Daishonin writes✍️:
"Those who now believe in the Lotus Sutra Will gather fortune trom ten thousand
miles away." (WND-1, 1137) He also cites the words of the Great Teacher Dengyo:
🙏👨👩👧👦"When in the family honour is paid diligently to the teachings, the seven disasters will most certainly be banished." (WND-2, 1026)
🙏📿🏠How wonderful it is to have the sound of the Mystic Law reverberating in the home!
🙏💪Strong faith is like a powerful magnet, attracting good fortune
"from ten thousand miles away".
👋👋It acts as an impenetrable defence that repels all misfortune. With this conviction, please make your homes castles of happiness and peace.
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️In many cases, other family members are not practising the Daishonin's Buddhism.
There is no need to worry or grow anxious about this. That is because, if we ourselves stand up earnestly and confidently in faith, we can lead all of our family and relatives in the direction of happiness and hope.
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️We are like a solitary lighthouse on a dark night, enabling numerous ships to safely sail the seas.
🙏The Daishonin writes✍️:
The Venerable Maudgalyayana put his faith in the Lotus Sutra, which is the greatest good there is, and thus not only did he himself attain Buddhahood, but his father and mother did so as well.
🙏😇And, amazing as it may seem, all the fathers and mothers of the preceding seven generations and the seven generations that followed, indeed, of countless lifetimes before and after, were able to become Buddhas.
👋👋In addition, all their sons, their wives or husbands, their retainers, supporters, and countless other persons not only were enabled to escape from the three evil paths, but all attained the first stage of
security and then Buddhahood, the stage of perfect enlightenment. (WND-1, 820)
📖Ikeda Sensei ✍️
💁🏻♂️"In light of this passage, there is absolutely no need for family discord about faith.
🙏I hope that you will exhibit a broad-minded wisdom, chanting and working to patiently and steadfastly create happy, harmonious families where good cheer and joyous laughter abound."
💁🏻♂️"I believe that any revolution that is genuine - that truly serves the needs of the people - will also clearly manitest
itself in the family.
👨👩👧👦Such a family-based revolution is the
most fundamental and lasting kind of revolution; it will create an enduring groundswell and become the tide of
the times that no one can hold back."

社区是广布的真正舞台
要重视自己的社区！社区是广宣流布的真正舞台。
要尽情为社区做出贡献，虽说贡献社区，其第一步就是与他人打招呼问候。要一步一步踏实地建立信赖。
"呀，我们的社区里有这么优秀的青年！"一一令大家有如此的想法，就是胜利。
我们要进行"人间革命"，然后于自己的社区推进"广宣流布"。这是最充实的青春。在这奋斗中能奠定不为任何事物所动摇的幸福与胜利的基础。

《真正团结始于一人奋起》
总之，日莲弟子檀那等，无自他彼此之心，成水鱼之思，異体同心，唱奉南無妙法莲华经之处，是云生死一大事之血脉也。
一一生死一大事血脉抄、御书一四O六页
【大意】
总之，日莲的弟子檀那等，不可有自他对立之心，而应融洽和睦如鱼之在水，異体同心，唱奉南無妙法莲华经，就是生死一大事之血脉。
【详解】
没有团结，就不可能达成广宣流布的大愿。此节御文明示，我们每一个人虽是異体，但信仰之心却是相同，朝着广宣流布之大目的，共同实践的态度，正是生死一大事之血脉。
团结二字决定广宣流布，如何才能产生美好的团结？答案是"一个人的奋起！"所谓团结，是始于"一人奋起的实践"，这是必须铭记于心的。乍听之下或许有人会认为，一个人的奋起与众人的团结是两回事，事实上，这是很大的错觉。
身为干部，必须对广宣流布有主动的精神及强烈的责任感。要想使所有的人都能奋起，首先自己必须先奋起才是最为重要。
如何才能把所负责的工作做好？如何才能更进一步推进广宣流布？这些都要认真思考，踏实的实践。
一人奋起並不是僅要求某些特定人员，而是全体工作人员、全体学会员，都要有"由我负责完成一切"的气概，这才是异体同心的团结。
如果全员不怀着勇气及地涌菩萨的自觉，怎么成"水鱼之思"，"無自他彼此之心"？不均衡的发展，依赖他人的心，不能产生真正的团结。
"总会有人会去做吧！"若是抱持这种依赖他人的心，是无法顺利推展组织活动，並且会产生对他人的怨嫉与埋怨。若是能肩负起全部责任，一人奋起，则对于他人的協助，会心存感激。期盼我们能抱持"一人奋起"的精神。

圣训有云："虽是他人，若互语交心，亦可为汝捨命。"（〈呵责谤法灭罪抄〉，御书一一七七页）

👋👋The Daishonin describes 妙Myo as the wish-granting jewel.
💁🏻♂️By saying so, he teaches that those who remain steadfast in faith can bring forth immeasurable benefits from the Gohonzon at will.
📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidance:
🙏"The wish-granting jewel Is a gem that can produce immeasurable treasures as one desires.
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️One can heal one's illness; solve one's problems; and obtain necessities such as clothes and food at will.
💁🏻♂️Nichiren Daishonin likens the immense benefit of the Gohonzon to this wish-granting jewel.
🙏In addition, the Daishonin also teaches:
"Whether or not your prayer is answered
will depend on your faith; [if it is not] I will in no way be to blame." (WND-1, p. 1079)
🙏The Gohonzon, this wish-granting jewel, has immeasurable beneficial power. 👋👋However, the Daishonin teaches that whether or not it's power can be manifested in reality depends on one's faith.
🇧🇪President Toda once gave the following guidance:
🙏The Gohonzon is the supreme jewel, the wish-granting jewel, and that is why your prayers, whatever they may be, will be fulfilled.
👉👉If they aren't fulfilled, it is because the power of your faith, the power of your
practice and actions are too weak.
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️If the power of your faith is strong, the power or the Buddha and the power
of the Law will be manitested in direct
proportion, and you will achieve happiness without fail.
🙏The key to drawing out the supreme
benefit of the Gohonzon is indeed our
own faith."

以早上的祈求取胜
早晨决定成败。要以旭日东升之势开始新的一天。勤行和唱题就是让生命复苏的晓钟。工作越繁忙，奋斗越严峻，就越要于早晨取胜。从早晨的胜利开始，创造青春胜利的历史吧！
"大阪奋战"也是从早晨的祈求出发，所以能将不可能变为可能，並构筑起永垂不朽的"胜利金字塔"。
每当努力奋战，三障四魔必然竞起。每一天都要认真面对，不能疏忽大意。因此要强盛地祈求。

《何謂真實的報恩》
習佛法者，必報四恩。
一一四恩抄、御書九六九頁
【大意】
修習佛法的人，必须報"四恩"
【詳解】
在《四恩抄》裡，對四恩有如下的阐述：
第一是一切众生恩。现在学会虽然有很大的发展，但仍有很多人不了解正确的佛法。我们必须教导他们御本尊的功德，唯有彻底实践救济民众的行动，才能达成自己的使命。同时这也是累积福运、领获功德、自我改革的途径。
第二是父母恩。没有今世父母，何能有我们在今世信仰、成佛，须報父母恩。大聖人曾说，父母比须彌山还高，母恩比大海还深。我们受持御本尊，日夜精进信仰活动，就是報父母恩最伟大的姿态。
第三是國王恩，亦即社会恩。我们身心皆能安稳生活，这是蒙受社会的恩。从另一方面来说，正因为是确信妙法，所以即使遭受社会或当权者的迫害，反而会让我们更认真信心、达到即身成佛，这也是恩。
第四是佛、法、僧三寶恩，此三寶的恩。能使我们脱离不幸的生活，建立起永不崩溃的幸福境涯。此恩是永远報不尽。身为学会员，能从事信仰活动是最高的人生。为图報恩，片刻不可忘记佛道修行的精神。
虽说是報恩，但報恩的行为也有各式各样，自然也有高低 深浅。现在，我们的目标正指向廣宣流布，努力建设真正的和平乐土。从地球上消除悲惨的战争，努力建设永不崩溃的佛國土，这种行为可以说是对广大人类的報恩。
总之，我们致力广宣流布的实践活动，就是对社会、人类、甚至是让我们成佛的本佛日莲大聖人最高的報恩！

will depend on your faith; [if it is not] I will in no way be to blame." (WND-1, p. 1079)
🙏The Gohonzon, this wish-granting jewel, has immeasurable beneficial power. 👋👋However, the Daishonin teaches that whether or not it's power can be manifested in reality depends on one's faith.
🇧🇪President Toda once gave the following guidance:
🙏The Gohonzon is the supreme jewel, the wish-granting jewel, and that is why your prayers, whatever they may be, will be fulfilled.
👉👉If they aren't fulfilled, it is because the power of your faith, the power of your
practice and actions are too weak.
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️If the power of your faith is strong, the power or the Buddha and the power
of the Law will be manitested in direct
proportion, and you will achieve happiness without fail.
🙏The key to drawing out the supreme
benefit of the Gohonzon is indeed our
own faith."

以早上的祈求取胜
早晨决定成败。要以旭日东升之势开始新的一天。勤行和唱题就是让生命复苏的晓钟。工作越繁忙，奋斗越严峻，就越要于早晨取胜。从早晨的胜利开始，创造青春胜利的历史吧！
"大阪奋战"也是从早晨的祈求出发，所以能将不可能变为可能，並构筑起永垂不朽的"胜利金字塔"。
每当努力奋战，三障四魔必然竞起。每一天都要认真面对，不能疏忽大意。因此要强盛地祈求。
我们要以"法华经的兵法"来化敌为友。

《何謂真實的報恩》
習佛法者，必報四恩。
一一四恩抄、御書九六九頁
【大意】
修習佛法的人，必须報"四恩"
【詳解】
在《四恩抄》裡，對四恩有如下的阐述：
第一是一切众生恩。现在学会虽然有很大的发展，但仍有很多人不了解正确的佛法。我们必须教导他们御本尊的功德，唯有彻底实践救济民众的行动，才能达成自己的使命。同时这也是累积福运、领获功德、自我改革的途径。
第二是父母恩。没有今世父母，何能有我们在今世信仰、成佛，须報父母恩。大聖人曾说，父母比须彌山还高，母恩比大海还深。我们受持御本尊，日夜精进信仰活动，就是報父母恩最伟大的姿态。
第三是國王恩，亦即社会恩。我们身心皆能安稳生活，这是蒙受社会的恩。从另一方面来说，正因为是确信妙法，所以即使遭受社会或当权者的迫害，反而会让我们更认真信心、达到即身成佛，这也是恩。
第四是佛、法、僧三寶恩，此三寶的恩。能使我们脱离不幸的生活，建立起永不崩溃的幸福境涯。此恩是永远報不尽。身为学会员，能从事信仰活动是最高的人生。为图報恩，片刻不可忘记佛道修行的精神。
虽说是報恩，但報恩的行为也有各式各样，自然也有高低 深浅。现在，我们的目标正指向廣宣流布，努力建设真正的和平乐土。从地球上消除悲惨的战争，努力建设永不崩溃的佛國土，这种行为可以说是对广大人类的報恩。
总之，我们致力广宣流布的实践活动，就是对社会、人类、甚至是让我们成佛的本佛日莲大聖人最高的報恩！

From Insult to Honor: Becoming a Force for Transformation
Arunima Sharma, India

Beginning her teaching career as a depressed and struggling single mother, Arunima Sharma became a force for educational transformation in her home state of Uttarakhand.
I got married at an early age and was blessed with a son and a daughter. But it was an unhappy marriage. We lived with my parents-in-law, and I was almost always in tears. I was an introvert, had difficulties with human relationships and battled depression.
This has been my journey of transformation from insult to honor and from suffering to happiness.
A few years later, I left my in-laws' house, completed my studies and got a job as a teacher. Soon after, my husband left me and our children. After 12 years of marriage, I was raising my son and daughter as a single parent. I got a job in a government school. It was located 100 kilometers from my home, and my children had to stay home alone while I was at work. I cried alone many nights, having no family nearby to depend upon.
In 2006, while visiting a friend's place, I happened to pick up a magazine that was on the table. It was the periodical of Bharat Soka Gakkai (BSG), the Soka Gakkai organization in India, and my heart was moved by what I read. I asked my friend about it and started to try out this Buddhist practice.

At that time, there were just two Soka Gakkai members in the region.
Very soon, people began to say to me—who had previously been so stern and gloomy—"You're always so cheerful," and each time, I light-heartedly told them about Buddhism, saying, "I'll share the secret of my happiness with you!" Today, there are around 80 people practicing in our area.
In 2012, my divorce came through, and I was able to purchase my own house, something I had been longing for so badly. Also, I was transferred to a public elementary school five minutes on foot from my home.
A Shocking Discovery
My new school was in terrible shape. It had no boundary wall, no drinking water, no proper toilets, no timetable and no one was punctual. President Daisaku Ikeda writes, "As long as we pray earnestly and sincerely . . . if we have strong and genuine faith, even though results may not be immediately visible, they will definitely manifest without fail in the generations of our children." Reading President Ikeda's guidance, I determined I would make this school one of the best schools in Uttarakhand State, and I chanted for the wisdom to be able to take the most appropriate action.

One day, while I was teaching, an unknown little girl peeked through the classroom window. This prompted me to investigate the surrounding area, and to my dismay, I found more than 100 children living in dismal conditions. Some were engaged in begging, others in picking up garbage and several were addicted to drugs. They had neither shoes nor clothes and were woefully lacking in personal hygiene.
I met with their parents and persuaded them to send their children to school. I opened my house for the children to bathe, against the protests of my family, and I asked friends for old clothes and shoes.

However, the school principal refused to give them admission. Undaunted, I taught the children on the school grounds for two months.
I chanted that the school would accept them, and during the school holidays, I visited the children regularly. Through my chanting came wisdom, and I reached out to the public through social media to garner support for their education. People donated school uniforms, clothes and books.
Unexpectedly, some government officials visited the school. All 103 children were granted admission, and they started attending classes regularly. Organizations came forward to develop the school's infrastructure—drinking water, toilets, flooring, desks and chairs, a boundary wall and a gate were all provided, and in addition, a library was established in the school.
A New Goal

Taking heart from all these positive developments, I began chanting to transform the conditions of all elementary schools in the state. I wrote to the state government and worked hard to establish libraries in all government schools. In 2018, I was named "best teacher" by the Uttarakhand Child Protection and Rights Commission. Then, just as I had determined, my school was elected as the best school in the state, and a prestigious private educational institution adopted our school.
There is nothing more joyful than seeing a child who had been left behind unfolding his or her potential through education.

In my family, my daughter and son followed me in practicing Nichiren Buddhism and now work in reputed companies. Before, I had no friends, and I was an angry, unhappy person who people disliked and ignored. But through this Buddhist practice, I have transformed myself. In the Soka Gakkai, I have found a loving family and have become a loving person in return. I was able to recognize the potential inside me that I could not see before. The poison in my life has changed to medicine. Now, I spread love and receive love from everyone in my environment. This has been my journey of transformation from insult to honor and from suffering to happiness.
My dream now is to bring about a positive change in government schools throughout the country.

"Always remember that no matter how old you are it is important to remain young at heart. Even in his 70s, Mr. Makiguchi still used to say: 'We youth,' reflecting the spirit that the hearts of those who practice Nichiren Buddhism are eternally young. I hope all our members will advance with youthful hearts."

领导人要率先垂范
要掀起新旋风！首先自己要有干劲地行动，让人看到自己是"这样行动，这样挑战过来"。青年率先垂范的行动，会让大家心情轻快明朗，带来充满勇气的清新气息。
同样地，领导人要像探射灯一样，照射着每一个尊贵的学会员，对他们加以慰劳和嘉许。对最努力奋斗的人，要至为珍惜，给予鼓励，从中会湧现数十倍的欢喜。
对提供会场的同志的家人也要衷心的感谢，要彬彬有礼，有常识地使用会场。
聖训教导："教主釋尊出世之本怀在示为人之道。"（〈崇峻天皇書〉，御書一二二二页）。在诚实聪明的行动之中，会显现出佛法实践者的真正价值。

受持此本法，即受持三大秘法的南無妙法莲华经，是由于信之一字，对治元品无明的根本利剑，也是信之一字。法华文句第九卷有"無疑曰信"的解释，应该时时记取。
【详解】
这节御文是说，受持三大秘法的大御本尊之根本，是在于信之一字，所谓元品无明，是不幸的根源，能將其斩断的利剑，也只有信之一字。
无明就是"不明"，是无法彻底悟得生命实体的迷惑。亦即，元品无明是引起不幸的根源，具体来说，就是错误的生命观。
解决人类的不幸，不是单靠改变政治、法律、经济等就可达成，必须把盤踞在人生命中的元品无明清除，否则，不可能有真正的幸福。不管如何推动环境变革，如果不能改造人的本质，就不能建立真正的幸福。因此，唯有信奉妙法，断绝无明，才能达到不为环境所动摇之金刚不坏的境界。
大聖人说，要將不幸的人生转换为幸福，唯有靠信之一字。此信心的姿态就是无疑曰信。对大御本尊要有绝对的确信，要以这种信心的态度，这样的一念，作为一切行动的出发点。我们要时时反省自己，在面对御本尊诵经唱题时，在信仰活动中，是否做到了无疑曰信？
若是稍对信仰生起疑心，持己见来推量深远的佛法，那么自身的元品无明，就无法清除。对佛法的傲慢态度，正是堕入无明人生之因。

领导人要率先垂范
要掀起新旋风！首先自己要有干劲地行动，让人看到自己是"这样行动，这样挑战过来"。青年率先垂范的行动，会让大家心情轻快明朗，带来充满勇气的清新气息。
同样地，领导人要像探射灯一样，照射着每一个尊贵的学会员，对他们加以慰劳和嘉许。对最努力奋斗的人，要至为珍惜，给予鼓励，从中会湧现数十倍的欢喜。
对提供会场的同志的家人也要衷心的感谢，要彬彬有礼，有常识地使用会场。

《确立纯真的信心》
须梨槃特三年不能暗诵十四字，亦能成佛。提婆熟读六万藏，而堕无间。是特表未代今世者也，不可以为他人之事！
三三藏祈雨事、御書一五五O页
【大意】
须梨槃特兄弟二人，费了三年也记不得十四个字，但是却能成佛。提婆达多能熟记书典六万藏，却落入无间地狱。此原理表明末法今时成佛的方式。不要以为这是他人的事，与自己无关。
【详解】
对于成佛来说，纯真的信心比知识还来得重要。须梨槃特记忆力虽不好，但信心纯真，一切依照釋尊的指示实践，于是最后成佛了。相反的，提婆达多脑筋好，又有能力，但因嫉妒心强，与釋尊敌对，因而，大地震裂，活生生堕入无间地狱。
这並非只是个故事，也适用于现代的原理。这並非他人事，而是关系到自己本身。不管有多高深的学识、能力，如果违反佛法，也是不能获得幸福。相反的，虽然脑筋差、记忆力不好，但若遵照本佛教示实践，最后必能得到幸福。
佛法深邃的哲理、崇高的理念，以我们凡人之力，当然不能于一朝一夕有所理解。如果没有从信心的实践中得到应证，对于那些高深的法理，确实无法领略。
精神抖擞地实践信心活动，具体的在每天早晚勤行、折服活动中体验御本尊的功德。
丰富的知识人人期盼，但是却不可因而存有傲慢之心。傲慢是阻碍成佛的元凶，修习佛法，重要的是始终谦虚、及充满清新的求道心。

We are not defeated by adversity but by the loss of the will to strive. However devastated you may feel, so long as you have the will to fight on, you can surely triumph.
___________________________
🌞Good morning Myo Ho friends!
🙏Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you.
🙆♀️Together we encourage one other.
👋👋No matter what happens, we must never grow discouraged or allow ourselves to be defeated.
👋👋We should keep chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, just as we are.
🙏😇If we do that, we will attain a state of supreme happiness through the wisdom and power of the Mystic Law.
👋👋We can lead a life in which nothing will defeat us.
📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's
guidances.
🇧🇪Ikeda Sensei says
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️"The fact that you suffer from a serious illness means that you have a profound mission.
💁🏻♂️💁🏻♀️The deeper your suffering, the more you can demonstrate the tremendous power of Buddhism when you surmount that suffering and the more you can contribute to kosen-rufu.
🙏😇In order to do that, you have created various kinds of karma, taken on this illness and appeared in this world as a Bodhisattva of the Earth.
🫵🫵You cannot fail to overcome this!"
💁🏻♂️"President Toda often said that the final four or five years of one's life are decisive.
💁🏻♀️No matter how good the preceding years may have been, one's life ends in defeat and sadness if the final few years are miserable.
✌️🤗On the other hand, someone whose last four or five years are happy and filled with joy can be described a winner in life. 👋👋No matter what happens, even if we should fall sick, we must never grow discouraged or allow ourselves to be defeated.
💪💪This is vital. As long as our spirits are undefeated, we are victors."
🛎🛎"The important thing is to continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what, in times of happiness and in times of sorrow.
🙏This attitude of faith holds the key to living a life of supreme joy and happiness. 👋👋Those who continue to chant sincere daimoku for whatever it is that is in their hearts, who continue to show proof of faith in their daily lives based on daimoku, praying deeply about all things – ✌️💪👍such people will definitely enjoy lives in which all their desires are fulfilled."

(Why No Protection from the Heavenly Gods?
- WND, Vol. 2, page 432)Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin,"
Seikyo Newspaper, June 8th, 2022Thursday, June 9th, 2022-- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT --"If we allow ourselves to be swayed by negative influences, then doubt, uncertainty, confusion and disbelief will steal into our minds. If our resolve is broken, we can lose sight of correct faith.
"The ultimate source of these negative workings is the devil king of the sixth heaven.
"…the Daishonin tells us that this troubled saha world* in which we live is ruled by the devil king of the sixth heaven and we are his subjects. The devil king uses our family members and people with power and influence as his agents to obstruct the faith of those who embrace the Mystic Law. He seeks to lead people into evil paths by any means possible, confusing their minds by 'causing [them] to drink the wine of greed, anger and foolishness' (cf.WND–1, 495–96)."
The Buddhism of the Sun-illuminating the World, (75) To Our Future Division Members, the Torchbearers of Justice – Our Hope for the Future, The Workings of the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven, July 2021 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released April 2022
* Saha world: This world, which is full of suffering. Often translated as the world of endurance. In Sanskrit, saha means the earth; it derives from a root meaning "to bear" or "to endure." For this reason, in the Chinese versions of Buddhist Scriptures, saha is rendered as endurance. In this context, the saha world indicates a world in which people must endure suffering.

Today's Gosho: 807*
"Among the sacred teachings of the Buddha's lifetime, the Lotus Sutra is not only a bright mirror but a divine mirror. A bronze mirror will reflect the form of a person but it will not reflect that person's mind. The Lotus Sutra, however, reveals not only the person's form but that person's mind as well. And it reveals not only the mind; it reflects, without the least concealment, that person's past actions and future as well."

背后的努力就是成长的食粮
即使一天一人也好，也要找朋友见面。持续三年的话，就会与超过一千人见面。每天持之以恒，累积起每一分力量，在需要发挥时，就会发现"持续就是力量"。
付出的努力定会成为自己成长的食粮，更何况是为了广宣流布，在背后付出的辛劳，全部都会成为自己的福运，没有一丝白费。"陰德"必定成为"陽報"，发放璀璨的光芒。
日莲大聖人教导；"如水之信者，永不为退之信者也。"（〈覆上野書〉御書一六二八頁）

《坚强忍耐实践慈悲》
既以杖木瓦石打掷，"而强毒之"是起於慈悲。既说佛心者，大慈悲心是也，故礼拜之住处是慈悲也。
一一御義口傅下、御書八O三頁
【大意】
不轻菩萨雖被上慢的四眾，以杖木瓦石殴打，却更认真做折伏，那是因他慈悲的一念。佛心所指的就是大慈悲心，不轻这种礼拜的行为，可以说就是慈悲。
【祥解】
这节御文，明示折服的根本精神。
如同不轻菩萨一样，在我们从事折服的时候，很少人能够虚心接受，想使别人了解佛法，指摘其思想不当时，必然会引起反驳。引起反对也好，因反对而产生毒心，罚就会严然出现。然而，因为结了毒鼓之缘，虽痛苦一时，最后还是会信受妙法，獲得幸福。
对於不知错误的思想、破坏幸福的极恶宗教恐怖之徒，虽然亲切教导他，大多还是执着邪义，反对正法，这样的人永远无法脱离不幸的深渊。想要拯救他们，只有穿上忍辱之鎧，忍受憎怨、罵詈，耐心不断的折服。
反过头来检视自己的态度时，即会察觉我们有多么自私，只求自己好，根本没想到别人，这样低的境界，並非真实的幸福人生，更不是出现在末法时代的地涌菩萨所应有的姿态。
为一切众生拔苦与乐，这是本佛廣大无边的慈悲心，与其相比，我们实在差得远，但是，我们既然决意成为受佛称誉的弟子，对於那些执迷不悟的人，怎能不由衷的给予帮助呢？让我们燃起热情，认真去做折伏！

人不是输给困难，而是由于丧失斗志，败给自己。哪怕被打到，俯伏在地，只要有斗志，人就能够站起来。
Daily Encouragement
Daisaku Ikeda's
June 9
We are not defeated by adversity but by the loss of the will to strive. However devastated you may feel, so long as you have the will to fight on, you can surely triumph.
___________________________
🌞Good morning Myo Ho friends!
🙏Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you.
🙆♀️Together we encourage one other.
👋👋No matter what happens, we must never grow discouraged or allow ourselves to be defeated.
👋👋We should keep chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, just as we are.
🙏😇If we do that, we will attain a state of supreme happiness through the wisdom and power of the Mystic Law.
👋👋We can lead a life in which nothing will defeat us.
📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's
guidances.
🇧🇪Ikeda Sensei says
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️"The fact that you suffer from a serious illness means that you have a profound mission.
💁🏻♂️💁🏻♀️The deeper your suffering, the more you can demonstrate the tremendous power of Buddhism when you surmount that suffering and the more you can contribute to kosen-rufu.
🙏😇In order to do that, you have created various kinds of karma, taken on this illness and appeared in this world as a Bodhisattva of the Earth.
🫵🫵You cannot fail to overcome this!"
💁🏻♂️"President Toda often said that the final four or five years of one's life are decisive.
💁🏻♀️No matter how good the preceding years may have been, one's life ends in defeat and sadness if the final few years are miserable.
✌️🤗On the other hand, someone whose last four or five years are happy and filled with joy can be described a winner in life. 👋👋No matter what happens, even if we should fall sick, we must never grow discouraged or allow ourselves to be defeated.
💪💪This is vital. As long as our spirits are undefeated, we are victors."
🛎🛎"The important thing is to continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what, in times of happiness and in times of sorrow.
🙏This attitude of faith holds the key to living a life of supreme joy and happiness. 👋👋Those who continue to chant sincere daimoku for whatever it is that is in their hearts, who continue to show proof of faith in their daily lives based on daimoku, praying deeply about all things – ✌️💪👍such people will definitely enjoy lives in which all their desires are fulfilled."

"But my life from the beginning has been based upon firm conviction. I have no intention now of reversing my course, nor will I ever reproach [those who persecuted me]. Evil persons too will be good friends to me."
(Why No Protection from the Heavenly Gods?
- WND, Vol. 2, page 432)Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin,"
Seikyo Newspaper, June 8th, 2022Thursday, June 9th, 2022-- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT --"If we allow ourselves to be swayed by negative influences, then doubt, uncertainty, confusion and disbelief will steal into our minds. If our resolve is broken, we can lose sight of correct faith.
"The ultimate source of these negative workings is the devil king of the sixth heaven.
"…the Daishonin tells us that this troubled saha world* in which we live is ruled by the devil king of the sixth heaven and we are his subjects. The devil king uses our family members and people with power and influence as his agents to obstruct the faith of those who embrace the Mystic Law. He seeks to lead people into evil paths by any means possible, confusing their minds by 'causing [them] to drink the wine of greed, anger and foolishness' (cf.WND–1, 495–96)."
The Buddhism of the Sun-illuminating the World, (75) To Our Future Division Members, the Torchbearers of Justice – Our Hope for the Future, The Workings of the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven, July 2021 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released April 2022
* Saha world: This world, which is full of suffering. Often translated as the world of endurance. In Sanskrit, saha means the earth; it derives from a root meaning "to bear" or "to endure." For this reason, in the Chinese versions of Buddhist Scriptures, saha is rendered as endurance. In this context, the saha world indicates a world in which people must endure suffering.

Today's Gosho: 807*
"Among the sacred teachings of the Buddha's lifetime, the Lotus Sutra is not only a bright mirror but a divine mirror. A bronze mirror will reflect the form of a person but it will not reflect that person's mind. The Lotus Sutra, however, reveals not only the person's form but that person's mind as well. And it reveals not only the mind; it reflects, without the least concealment, that person's past actions and future as well."
Nichiren Daishonin (WND2, 619)

背后的努力就是成长的食粮
即使一天一人也好，也要找朋友见面。持续三年的话，就会与超过一千人见面。每天持之以恒，累积起每一分力量，在需要发挥时，就会发现"持续就是力量"。
付出的努力定会成为自己成长的食粮，更何况是为了广宣流布，在背后付出的辛劳，全部都会成为自己的福运，没有一丝白费。"陰德"必定成为"陽報"，发放璀璨的光芒。
日莲大聖人教导；"如水之信者，永不为退之信者也。"（〈覆上野書〉御書一六二八頁）
踏实地、坚忍不拔地在自己所决定的使命大道上前进的人，最后必定胜利。

《坚强忍耐实践慈悲》
既以杖木瓦石打掷，"而强毒之"是起於慈悲。既说佛心者，大慈悲心是也，故礼拜之住处是慈悲也。
一一御義口傅下、御書八O三頁
【大意】
不轻菩萨雖被上慢的四眾，以杖木瓦石殴打，却更认真做折伏，那是因他慈悲的一念。佛心所指的就是大慈悲心，不轻这种礼拜的行为，可以说就是慈悲。

一九《有陰德必有陽報》
有陰德必有陽報。
一一陰德陽報書、御書一二二五頁
【大意】
不為人知的善行，一定會有好的结果。
【詳解】
這節御文述说嚴格的因果法理。到底是以什么来决定功德之有無？理所當然是視其如何努力於佛道修行，如何為了廣布而活動。但並非决定於表面的活動，而是决定於如何改革自己生命，如何以自己的一念，竭尽辛勞地活動。
有些人很會指揮大家，看似熱心活動，但如果是一種愛表现的心態，在組織上只會盤腿而坐，不能説是真正為廣宣流布而奮鬥的人。
即使只是一個人，也要让他了解大聖人伟大的佛法，傾全力述说學會正确的理念，這種堅強又有耐心的實踐者，與表面活動的人有很大的區别。其结果會證明，虚有其表的信心劣於真實的信心。不管别人看到與否，能拚命活動者，必能將佛種薰發，獲得功德，绽放生活改革的绚爛花朵。
表面、形式上的活動，對改革現狀發揮不出任何力量。唯有發自内心生命的躍動，向每一個人诉说佛法，才能開拓远大的人生。
不管别人看到與否，蒲公英仍是開出可爱的花朵。不管我们是站在什麽樣的崗位，都是與廣宣流布有直接的關聯，因此要抱持無限的榮耀，腳踏實地的活動，讓功德之花璀璨地盛開。
建造樓房必须打好地基。廣宣流布的大業，必须要踏實的實踐才能徹底達成。
不管我们處於何種立場、何種境遇，都要確信佛法的因果法理，確信有陰德必有陽報。

一九《有陰德必有陽報》
有陰德必有陽報。
一一陰德陽報書、御書一二二五頁
【大意】
不為人知的善行，一定會有好的结果。
【詳解】
這節御文述说嚴格的因果法理。到底是以什么来决定功德之有無？理所當然是視其如何努力於佛道修行，如何為了廣布而活動。但並非决定於表面的活動，而是决定於如何改革自己生命，如何以自己的一念，竭尽辛勞地活動。
有些人很會指揮大家，看似熱心活動，但如果是一種愛表现的心態，在組織上只會盤腿而坐，不能説是真正為廣宣流布而奮鬥的人。
即使只是一個人，也要让他了解大聖人伟大的佛法，傾全力述说學會正确的理念，這種堅強又有耐心的實踐者，與表面活動的人有很大的區别。其结果會證明，虚有其表的信心劣於真實的信心。不管别人看到與否，能拚命活動者，必能將佛種薰發，獲得功德，绽放生活改革的绚爛花朵。
表面、形式上的活動，對改革現狀發揮不出任何力量。唯有發自内心生命的躍動，向每一個人诉说佛法，才能開拓远大的人生。
不管别人看到與否，蒲公英仍是開出可爱的花朵。不管我们是站在什麽樣的崗位，都是與廣宣流布有直接的關聯，因此要抱持無限的榮耀，腳踏實地的活動，讓功德之花璀璨地盛開。
建造樓房必须打好地基。廣宣流布的大業，必须要踏實的實踐才能徹底達成。
不管我们處於何種立場、何種境遇，都要確信佛法的因果法理，確信有陰德必有陽報。

Answer: The 'Life Span' chapter, or rather the 'Life Span' chapter and the halves of the two chapters that precede and follow it, was from beginning to end preached entirely for the people who live in the world after the passing of the Buddha. And among such people, it was preached for Nichiren and his followers, who are living today in the Latter Day of the Law."

6th Jun. Daily Guidance By Daisaku Ikeda:
People of first-class calibre possess both outstanding capabilities and character. They have integrity. Therefore, you must confront and challenge every situation not with some flimsy ruse but with the full force of your character. You must live with honesty and integrity and produce solid results. You must set your sights on a great objective and strive to achieve it with your whole being and spirit. 🙏🏻
6月6日，池田先生今日指导：
一流的人才除了 "实力" 之外，还应具有伟大的 "人格"，必须是诚实的人。无论面对什么事情，都尽自己的全力去应付解决，而不是采取一些看起来聪明，但实际上肤浅轻浮的对策。诚实坚强地生存到底，俨然地缔造出结果来。朝着伟大的目标，"全心全意" 地奋斗挑战。 🙏🏻

"必勝！"的一念
面对任何挑战，我都会跟户田先生说："请不用担心，我必定会做得到！必定会取胜！"我信守承诺，取得了一切的胜利。
任何挑战，抱着"必胜"这一念的人会取得胜利。因此要抱持"定必取胜"这个坚定的一念。
如此下定决心去祈求，就会湧现勇气和智慧，生命也变得蓬勃活跃，发放光辉。
日莲大聖人教导："恃何兵法莫若用此法华经兵法也！"（〈覆四條金吾書〉，御書一二四O頁）

一旦得意忘形，疏忽大意就会失败。最终，坚守信念，认真地奋斗到底的人会得胜。这是不变的铁则。

🙆♀️Together we encourage one other.
👋👋Everything that happens in our lives has meaning.
👋👋Changing the world starts by changing our fundamental state of mind.
👋👋To have a fighting spirit is itself the direct path to happiness.
📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's
guidances.
🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♂️"The principle of "voluntarily assuming the appropriate karma" is the logical conclusion of the Buddhist concept
of changing one's karma.
🙏😇Simply put, it represents a way of life in which we transform karma into mission.
🥹🥹Everything that happens in our lives has meaning.
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️Moreover, the way of life of practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism is to find and discover meaning in all things.
🫵Nothing is insignificant. Whatever a person's karma may be, it definitely has profound meaning. This is not just a
matter of outlook.
🙇♀️🙇♂️Changing the world starts by changing our fundamental state of mind. This is a key Buddhist principle.
💪A powerful determination to transform even negative karma into mission can dramatically transform the real world.
💪By changing our inner state of mind, we
can change any suffering or hardship into a source of joy, regarding it as a means for forging and developing our lives.
💪💪To turn even sorrow into a source of creativity-that is the way of life of practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism.
🙏😇The Daishonin teaches us this essential path through his own life and actions as the votary of the Lotus Sutra.
💪💪To have a fighting spirit is itself the direct path to happiness. Only through struggles and challenges can we develop inner strength and truly creative lives.
👋👋Also, by maintaining unwavering faith in the correct teaching of Buddhism no matter what obstacles or hardships arise, we can enter the path of happiness for all eternity.
🙏😇Attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime means securing this path in our daily lives during our present existence.
💁🏻♂️I therefore believe that practitioners of the correct teaching who strive ceaselessly to spread the Law exemplify the highest expression of humanity taught by the Daishonin based on the Lotus Sutra.
🤓Viewed from this perspective, all difficulties become the genuine foundation for our personal development and growth. 🙏Practitioners of the correct teaching who endure obstacles with the awareness,
🛎🛎🛎"[If devils did not arise], there would be no way of knowing that this is the correct teaching" (WND-1, 501), come to embody the Mystic Law without fail.
👥They attain the expansive state of life in which they can "regard all difficulties as peace and comfort" (cf. OTT, 115), and rejoice at them with the spirit conveyed
🙏✍️when Nichiren Daishonin writes,"The greater the hardships befalling him, the greater the delight he feels, because of his strong faith." (WND-1, 33)

"Thus you should understand that so long as a practitioner of the Lotus Sutra remains unwavering in faith, free of all false alliances, entrusting themselves wholeheartedly to the Lotus Sutra and practising in accordance with the Buddha's golden words, they will without fail be able to prevent disaster and prolong their life in this present existence, to say nothing of in the life to come. Splendid recompense will be theirs, and they will fulfil their great vow to broadly proclaim and propagate the Lotus Sutra."

奋战要争取先机
青春也好，人生也好，都是一场奋斗。不管面对任何挑战，最重要是不失先机，率先行动，就能开创胜利。
需要行动时错过机会，就是落后，被动。落后就是失败，争取先机才会连战连胜。
即使是微不足道的事情，也绝不能马虎了事。任何事情也好，都要毫不犹豫的马上行动。为了朋友，为了胜利，每次敏锐认真地採取行动，喜悦会随之扩大。
广宣流布前进的气势，就是从领导人的"热情"、"鼓励"、"迅速"中诞生出来的。

Though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered.

"Our belief in each person's inherent Buddha nature spurs us to give our all to encouraging others and engaging in dialogue to promote understanding and fellowship.
"The key is first to talk with those around us and chant to find ways to help them. Genuine communication fosters mutual trust and cooperation. Let's always move forwards together in our shared struggle, 'transcending all differences among ourselves' (cf.WND–1, 217). There is no organisation like the Soka Gakkai in its dedication to worldwide kosen-rufu."

"We, the various beings who live in this world, have been the beloved children of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, since numberless major world system dust particles kalpas in the past. And though because of the offense of our unfilial behavior we are unaware of this to this day, we are nevertheless not the same as the beings of another realm."

增加"民众力量"
日莲大聖人一语道破接连不断的战乱和让民众陷于苦恼的乱世本质；"当今世乱，民力不丰。"（〈众生身心书），御書一六八三页）
要消灭战争，唯有让民众变得坚强，变得贤明，还有就是要牢牢的聊结世界民众的心。
因此青年啊，要广结良友，大家和睦相处，加强团结！要秉持正确的哲学，成为敏锐和聪明的人！要一边勇敢的挑战眼前问题，一边坚忍不拔地挑战自己的"人间革命"！
为了自己与朋友的幸福、为了社会与国土的繁荣、为了地球的和平，要不断祈求、学习、对话、行动、奋斗，胜利前进下去。

为了共同完成大事业，大家都要下决心自己负起全部责任，要独自挺立。同时，不是要自己上前台来，而是为大家尽力，在背后支撑。这就是团结的要谛。
Daily Encouragement
Daisaku Ikeda's
June 4
In order to achieve something great together, each person should resolve to take full responsibility and stand up to take action. At the same time, instead of seeking the limelight, it's important to support others behind the scenes and to give your all. That's the secret to true unity.

🌞Good afternoon Myo Ho friends !
🐲🚣♀️🍙Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
🙏Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you.
🙆♀️Together we encourage one other.
👋👋Chanting Daimoku is the primary practice for oneself.
👋👋Doing both the primary (Daimoku) and supporting practices ( Gongyo)each morning and evening gives rise to maximum joy and benefit in our lives.
👋👋Nichiren Daishonin did not give specific instructions on the format for the sutra recitation.
👋👋But he did recommend reciting the
🪷"Expedient Means" (second) and
🪷 "Life Span of the Thus Come One" (sixteenth) chapters of the Lotus Sutra, which, he taught, are the heart of all Buddhist teachings.
🪷From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin

📖Gosho The Recitation of the 🪷"Expedient Means" and 🪷"Life Span" Chapters Written to Hiki Daigaku Saburo Yoshimoto's wife on April 17, 1264
🙏Nichiren Daishonin ✍️
🙏🪷"As I said before, though no chapter of the Lotus Sutra is negligible, among the entire twenty-eight chapters, the 🪷"Expedient Means" chapter and the 🪷"Life Span" chapter are particularly outstanding.
👉The remaining chapters are all in a sense the branches and leaves of these two chapters.
💁🏻♂️💁🏻♀️Therefore, for your regular recitation, I recommend that you practice reading the prose sections of the 🪷"Expedient Means" and🪷 "Life Span" chapters."
📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's
guidances.
