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."

"Buddhism primarily concerns itself with victory or defeat, while secular authority is based on the principle of reward and punishment. For this reason, a Buddha is looked up to as the Hero of the World, while a king is called the one who rules at his will."

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。

"To attain Buddhahood in one's present form means at this moment to realize one's inborn, original nature, to know that it is one's unaffected and unobstructed destiny as a living being, one's reward, and the unseen protection of the Buddhas."
