风吹波兴，起而行动，状况就会有所变化。行动是突破限界、提高自己境界的力量。行动的人不会死心。看似山穷水尽，但总能靠行动开辟新道路。
Daily Encouragement
Daisaku Ikeda's
June 8
Just as waves arise when the wind blows, action changes reality. Action has the power to break down walls and to elevate our life condition. People of action don't give up. Though they may seem deadlocked, they always manage to open a way forward.

The Daishonin states,
"When praised, one does not consider
one's personal risk."*
When our friends take one step forwards,
let's all praise them ten times over!
The bond between fellow members
enables us to develop the strength
to break through the walls
of hardships and obstacles!
* "True Aspect of All Phenomena" (WND-l page 385)

"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison."

"The Daishonin states that those who believe in and practise the Lotus Sutra should be more on guard against 'those who attempt to obstruct their practice' than against robbers, wild beasts, burglars or the threat of foreign invasion (cf.WND–1, 495).
"In Buddhist scriptures, such obstructive individuals are known as 'evil friends,'* functioning to destroy the minds of sincere practitioners and lead them into evil paths. In particular, it refers to evil priests and ill intentioned individuals who seek to obstruct and destroy people's faith.
"A Buddhist commentary states: 'evil friends employ enticing words, deception and flattery, clever speech and an affable manner, and in this way cause others to do evil. In leading them to do evil, they are destroying the good minds that are in them'** (WND–2, 220-21). Namely, they use clever words to destroy the goodness in people's hearts."

* Evil friends: this refers to evil priests and others who misguide people with false teachings, confusing them, obstructing their Buddhist practice and leading them into evil paths that are a source of suffering. The term "evil friends" is contrasted with "good friends" who help lead people to the correct teaching.

"To examine one's face one has only to look in a clear mirror, and to understand the rise and fall of a nation's fortunes, there is no mirror more revealing than that provided by the Buddhist teachings."
Nichiren Daishonin (WND2, 618)

🙏8th June Daily Guidance by Daisaku Ikeda:
It takes courage to become happy-courage to remain true to one's convictions, courage not to be defeated by one's weaknesses and negativity, courage to take swift action to help those who are suffering. It is through such daily efforts that your true beauty as a human being shines forth.
六月八日池田先生今日指导:
要得到幸福必需要有勇气，贯彻信念的勇气、不输给自己的勇气、能够打动和激励烦恼的人们的勇气。所谓＂美＂，也是在这样的现实的 "行动＂中呈现出来的东西。🙏

Our contemporaries think of the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo only as a name, but this is not correct. It is the essence, that is, the heart of the Lotus Sutra. 🙏🏻

6月8日，御书圣训：
献给您的每一天。
所 诠，妙 法 莲 华 经 五 字，现 时 之 人 以 为 只 名 字 而 已，非 矣，乃 体 也 。体 是 心 。
《复曾谷居士书》 其二（《如是我闻事》）
总之，现代人以为妙法莲华经五字，仅是经名而已。其实并非如此，妙法莲华经是体，体即是心 。 🙏🏻

"誠實"
友情是人生的瑰宝；友情至为美丽；友情的心与佛法的人本主义一致。
首先自己要敞开心扉，明朗地打招呼，以诚相待。自己勇敢贤明的行动，能加深友谊，扩展信赖。
真正能得人心、打动人心的就只有"成实"二字。有礼貌、言行明快、谨守承诺一一细微的事情会成为胜因。
要珍惜与善友的关系！户田先生教导："对方有困难时，要伸出友情之手。"要自豪的贯彻信义。
《勝利的人學》
