思想、爱情都不单表现在语言上，更表现在无微不至的关怀上，从中更可感受到这人的信念与哲学。
Daily Encouragement

June 23
Words alone do not convey our philosophy nor our love for others. It is through thoughtful, considerate actions that these are demonstrated. Our faith and our philosophy shine in our behavior.

Good morning Myo Ho friends !
🙏Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you.
🙆♀️Together we encourage one other.
👋👋We can transform any situation.
👋👋We can help everyone become happy.
🙏✌️If we chant with the single minded determination of the shared vow of mentor and disciple and challenge ourselves in expanding kosenrufu, we will be able to overcome any difficulties and open the path to victory.
📖Gosho: Reply to the Lay Nun Myoshin
🙏Nichiren Daishonin ✍️
This character 妙myo [of myoho, the Mystic Law]
🌝 is the moon, 🌞it is the sun, 🌟it is the stars, 🪞it is a mirror, 👔👗it is garments, 🍱it is food, 💐it is flowers, 🌎it is the great earth, 🌊it is the great sea.
🙏🙏🙏All benefits clustered together make up the character myo [妙].
🙏🙏🙏Also, it is the wish-granting jewel.
(📚The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Volume 2, pp. 879-80)
👋👋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."

"Employ the strategy
of the Lotus Sutra before any other."*
Chanting daimoku
with an unwavering vow for
kosen-rufu
unleashes boundless wisdom
and brings forth abundant life force!
Let's summon up
indomitable courage
and advance onwards!
*"The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra" (WND, Vol.1, page 1001)Wednesday, June 22nd, 2022--- DAILY GOSHO ---"If the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds."(On Attaining Buddhahood
in This Lifetime
- WND, Vol. 1, page 4)Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin,"
Seikyo Newspaper, June 22nd, 2022Thursday, June 22nd, 2022---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----"Mr. Toda declared that the Soka Gakkai's mission is to formulate a grand vision for peace for future millennia and pave the way for the happiness of humanity for eternity, thereby repaying our debt of gratitude to Nichiren Daishonin.
"With our gaze on that distant future, let's chant even more strongly for the safety and security of the entire global family and continue to solidify and wisely expand our beautiful grassroots network for peace."

"Words are what give expression to the distinctions that are thought of in the mind. Therefore, outside of the mind there are neither distinctions nor the absence of distinctions. Words echo the thoughts of the mind and find expression through the voice."

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！
《今日發心》
（三五）
