所谓「前途莫测」，看着像是一帆风顺，却不知什么在等待，这就是人生的航路。因此才需要宗教，作为人生的罗盘，信念的后盾。
Daily Encouragement
Daisaku Ikeda's
August 12
Although smooth sailing may seem to lie ahead, life's course always remains uncertain. That's why we all need a solid life philosophy that can be our guide and compass, a strong system of values and beliefs.

🌞Good Day Myo Ho friends !
🙏Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you. 🙆♀️Let's encourage one other.
👋👋True victory exists in transforming suffering into joy.
💪💪Winter always turns to spring.
✌️✌️Spring of happiness! Is Spring of Victory!
📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidance
🌸🌼"Spring is the time when flowers bloom.
❄️❄️But in order to bloom, flowers need the cold of winter.
🤔🤔What would happen if there was no winter?
🍁🍂In autumn, plants that bloom in spring prepare to enter a period of dormancy, or recharging.
🐿They start saving energy for the coming spring.
👉🥀If there is a sudden warm spell during their dormancy in winter and they are awakened, the buds waiting for spring's arrival start to open before they are ready, and when the winter cold returns, they wither and die.
❄️❄️To prevent that from happening, plants will not bloom unless they have fully experienced the cold of winter.
🌼🌸This is the "wisdom" of plants that enables them to bloom in spring.
🙏😇Life and Buddhist practice also follow this principle.
🔋🔌A winter of adversity is the time to recharge our batteries and temper ourselves for the arrival of a wonderful spring.
💪💪In life's winters, the eternal and indestructible energy for attaining Buddhahood is stored up, and life force as vast as the universe is forged. This energy, in addition, grows in response to adversity and hardship.
🙏😇And all who practice the correct teaching of Buddhism will without fail experience the coming of spring.
😖😣But if, in the difficult times of life's winters, we try to avoid or doubt the realm in which we strengthen our faith, and as a result we fail to accumulate enough strength and good fortune, we will never get anywhere, nor be able to lead a truly satisfying life.
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️The crucial thing is how we challenge ourselves and how meaningfully we spend our time during life's winters.
🛎🛎What matters is how deeply we live with the conviction that spring will definitely arrive.
🌸🌼In the realm of nature, the flowering springtime always comes when the time is right. That is the rhythm of life and the universe.
👋👋But far too many people in the world are still in the midst of winter when they reach the end of their lives.
💁🏻♂️💁🏻♀️To avoid that fate, we need to align our lives with the rhythm of the universe that calls forth spring.
🙏📿And our Buddhist practice based on faith in the Mystic Law is what enables us to do that.
🙏🪷In that sense, faith in the Mystic Law functions as our wings to eternal happiness.
💪💪Every time we overcome difficulties, we accumulate good fortune and elevate our state of life.
🙏😇By attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime, we are able to soar serenely through the vast skies of life in a state of supreme happiness and fulfillment throughout eternity. This is the teaching of Buddhism and the rhythm of life."

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Imposing mountains are formed
by major crustal movements.
Likewise,
humans can also build a strong self
in the midst of upheavals.
Let's become champions of life
who can transform all trials into
priceless treasures!
*The first president of the Soka Gakkai, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, offers this profound guidance: "Although there is a saying that even dust, when it accumulates, can form a mountain, there are in fact no mountains that have been made from accumulated dust... Real mountains are formed by sudden, dramatic shifts in the earth's crust." President Makiguchi strictly teaches us here that we can only fundamentally transform ourselves and build an unshakable state of life by engaging in an earnest struggle of great good against great evil.
(ref. Ikeda Sensei's essay,
"Thoughts on The New Human Revolution"
published in the Seikyo Newspaper,
July 14th, 2001 issue)

"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever."

学会正是世界的希望
一个人真正的伟大，取决于什么？不是看地位或名声，而是取决于秉持和实践怎样的思想和哲学。
圣训云："所持之法，若是第一，所持之人，亦必是第一。"（〈持妙法华问答抄〉，御书四八七页）
阐明万众生命尊严，展现人类永远幸福及和平道路的佛法，正是最高境界的思想，是"第一的哲学"。而学习此佛法並将其弘扬的青年，就是戴着至高无上宝冠的"最了不起的人"。
时代正渴求哲学。创价的青年要成为伟大的幸福胜利贤者，向朋友心房送上灿烂的希望哲理之光！
《胜利的人学》

"All of you should prepare yourselves mentally for what may come. Do not let concern for wife and children or other family members deter you.
Do not fear those in authority. Now is the time to break free from the bonds of this realm of birth and death and to obtain the fruit of Buddhahood!"
Nichiren Daishonin (WND 2, 333)
