🌞Good Day Myo Ho friends!
🙏Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you. 🙆‍♀️Let's encourage one other.
👋👋Live true to yourself!
👋👋To follow our own convictions!
👋👋To shine with supreme strength, brilliance and happiness is to base one's life on Buddhism.

🛎🛎"A person who chants strong
and consistent daimoku will
never be deadlocked"🙏📿


📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidance

🌈🌤"To live each day to the best of your ability, to truly say that you are satisfied with what you have achieved – these unflagging efforts lead to a life of great victory.
💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️It may seem quite ordinary and mundane, but this is the noblest path of life. It is the path of outstanding human beings."

👋👋"First of all, let's overcome our own weaknesses.
✌️💪With this victory, we can launch a fresh and fulfilling day. Buddhist practice begins with winning over our own weaknesses."


💪😀"People who have vibrant life force are happy.
💪😄People with strong conviction are happy.
✌️✌️They can lead positive, successful lives.
😣😖Those who are weak, in contrast, are miserable.
They create misery and unhappiness for
themselves.
🙏📿Practising Nichiren Buddhism enables us to become as strong as we possibly can.
✌️✌️To live in such a way that we can perceive everything in terms of faith and are always determined to overcome everything through faith means to walk the path to eternal happiness.
🫵🫵You yourself are precious beyond measure each and every one of you.
🙏The Daishonin taught this to his disciples while he himself was facing major persecution.
🇧🇪And the Soka Gakkai's first and second presidents, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and Josei Toda, faithfully embraced the heart
of the Daishonin's Buddhism and taught it to people from all walks of life.
👋👋With great conviction, let us continue to forge ahead powerfully along this path, which is directly connected to Nichiren Daishonin."

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Buddhism is a teaching
that helps us to lead
a healthy way of life.
Let's therefore strive to:
"Do a resonate gongyo
full of vitality,"
"Have a lifestyle free of
excess or overexertion,"
"Devote ourselves
to activities enthusiastically"
and
"Develop healthy,
educated eating habits"!

"Introducing Buddhist principles, in terms of life philosophy, enables a wider audience to gain an understanding of Nichiren Buddhism. For Buddhism to spread on a broader scale, it is essential to explain its teachings in an accessible way, staying relevant to the times and taking into account contemporary ideas and scientific insights."

"Shakyamuni Buddha called forth the Bodhisattvas of the Earth and entrusted to them these five characters that constitute the essence of the sutra. This is the teaching that was transferred to the bodhisattvas who had been the disciples of the Buddha since the remote past."

Nichiren Daishonin (WND, 746)

自觉"地涌使命"
圣训云:"有志为斯人之弟子檀那者,宜思宿缘深厚,须同日莲共弘法华经。"(〈与寂日法师书〉,御书九三六页)
我们是誓愿共同为广宣流布奋战,为了于现今达成使命而生的地涌菩萨。只要自觉此使命及宿缘,唱题祈求,自己的生命就会涌现无限的力量和智慧。
折伏就是最高的佛的行动,所以要明朗愉快地挑战。
《胜利的人学》
