幸福取决于自己，取决于自己的心。若拥有坚强的心，景色就完全不同了。所看到的完全不同。坚强是幸福。
Daily Encouragement

August 7
When we draw strength from within, our outlook undergoes a dramatic transformation; everything around us looks completely different. To be strong—that is the key to happiness.

🌞Good Day Myo Ho friends!
🙏Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo to you. 🙆♀️Let's encourage one other.
👋👋 Let has have joy and vitality, courage and wisdom .
👋👋Filling our lives with visible brilliance and good fortune and benefit.
📝Let's learn from Ikeda Sensei's guidance
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️"Eternal Buddhahood manifests in the depths of the lives of those who take action daily to widely declare and spread Buddhism for Mystic Law and for the happiness of those regardless of how much theory they
"know".
👋👋Such action is a source of inexpressible joy and vitality, courage and wisdom. It is the origin from whence a sense of exuberance wells forth infusing and permeating their lives.
🙏👍Their lives are filled with visible brilliance and good fortune and benefit.
💁🏻♀️💁🏻♂️Those who truly embrace the Mystic Law are most noble just
as they are. And it is in their lives that the world of the great and eternal life
of "Life Span" chapter appears.
🙏😇This is the true condition of immortality.
😰This is a turbulent age, an age of drastic changes. At times, you may feel swallowed up by your hardships. 😥You may confront many trials and tribulations in life.
🛎🛎What is important is to develop strong confidence in the Gohonzon, no matter what happens.
🙏🌞Please reveal the brilliant sun of "eternal life" in your life.
💪💪Let us soar courageously into the morning sky of hope with the everlasting vigour of a phoenix!"
🙏"The Daishonin says that even if we face many difficulties,
👋👋as long as we persevere undefeated and remain steadfast in our faith, then the benefit of attaining Buddhahood will naturally come to us of Itself.
🙏😇This is termed "gaining Buddhahood without seeking it.
🧐🧐Why should we be able to attain Buddhahood even if we do not seek it, if
we continue to carry through faith in face of difficulties?
💁🏻♀️Firstly, it is because the lives of all living beings are inherently entities of Myoho-renge-kyo or the Mystic Law.
💁🏻♂️And secondly, it is because our strong faith causes the limitless functions of Myoho-renge-kyo that reside within our lives to manifest without impediment.
🙏😇So that is why Nichiren Daishonin said that Buddhahood naturally comes to us of itself. "
( 📝To be continued on….)
📚President Ikeda gave a lecture on how Myoho-renge-kyo comes to function in our lives .

"If these words of mine are false, then may I be punished by the ten demon daughters who protect the Lotus Sutra that I embrace. I say all this solely for the sake of the nation, for the sake of the Law, for the sake of others, not for my own sake."
Nichiren Daishonin (WND, 164)

"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A district women's leader asked the meaning of the passage 'Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the greatest of all joys' (OTT, 212) as it applies to our daily lives. I responded to this earnest question: 'Whatever problems you may face, if you continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of "regarding both suffering and joy as facts of life" (cf.WND–1, 681), joy will well forth within you. When you are filled with joy, you will ignite the same joy in all those who see you. Not only will you yourself savour a joyous life state and daily existence but you will help others do the same. This is surely "the greatest of all joys," don't you think?'"

将"生命尊严"作为时代精神
日莲大圣人云："一日之命胜于三千界之财"（〈可延定业书〉，御书一O二三页）
生命是全宇宙最尊贵的财宝。因此不管是什么理由，也绝不能伤害自己或他人的生命，要给矛最大的尊敬。我们要确立佛法所说的"生命尊严哲学"，以此作为万众共有的时代精神。
一直以来，人类受尽战争及暴力所带来的痛苦。现在，来转换这个宿命的，就是现代的"立正安國"的对话，以及创价的和平运动。
世界有识之士对此也愈益期待。现今正是青年部自豪地奋起之时。
