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。
【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！
