有效的唱题祈求方法

有人问:【只是诵读经文和唱七字的题目,怎能给我们这么的力量和幸福呢】?

池田先生说过:【即使只是唱念一遍题目也能贯通宇宙,更何况有"一念心"的虔诚题目。那么任何有形、无形的生命也能打动。

深深地确信,"我身即妙法当体"的题目,自觉"我"是佛的差使,宣弘妙法是"我人生使命"的题目,一定能和"御本尊"产生共鸣。

能贯通宇宙,能使自己获得自在的境界】。

也有些会友说:【他们不明白,为什么"题目"这种既没有实体,又看不见的东西,竟然能在我们"生命中产生这么多现证"】。

其实,生命中和宇宙间有很多东西,也不是我们肉眼看得见的,可是却具有巨大的力量和价值。

电波就是一个很好的例子。虽然无形,却能从太空长途穿梭,直达火星和金星。最简单的例子,就是现在我们用的无线网络,虽然看不到,但只要有对的密码,就能让我们连接网络,接受资讯,贯通全世界。

【南无妙法莲华经】就像一个密码,这是700年前,日莲大圣人发现的密码,只要"诚心唱念",就能让

【我们的生命贯通宇宙】,让我们迈向幸福!

既然题目那么有力量,那么,我们应该怎么唱题才会最有效呢?

美国创价学会教学部,就曾经出了一篇关于有效唱题的指导,今天就在这里和大家分享。

【南无妙法莲华经】的力量非常强大,但应该如何唱出"改变生命奥底"的题目呢?

首先,在你开始唱题之前,应该先放轻松自己,放空思绪、放空心情,让大脑和情绪全部停下,尤为重要

。要达到身、心、灵,都处于完全放松的状态,做最自在的你。

然后,当你开始唱题的时候,双眼务必看着御本尊,然后聆听自己唱题的声音,目光专注在御本尊的"妙" 字,双眼一定要专注的看着御本尊,这是非常重要的。当你视线专一的时候,思绪就停止运作,这就是"清空思绪"的方法,让你的眼睛引导你的头脑歇息。

因为当我们的大脑运作,思绪纷,胡思乱想的时候,你正在虚耗精力,你的身体被"大脑支配",但在"生命"奧底却没有任何转变,因为我们的"能量"没有导向那里。

你真正该做的是注视御本尊,让你的脑袋暂停运转,眼睛只看着御本尊中央的【妙】字。御本尊完全了解你所有的烦恼和欲望。

从你的生命唱出题目,让限睛紧盯着御本尊唱题,当南无妙法莲华经跟你的生命"融为一体",南无妙法莲华经就能"消融业障"并转換为力量,你就能以清澈的头脑,强盛的生命力去完成任何愿望。

如此一来,你会喜欢上唱题,因为你能感觉到自己的生命奥底的"法性",你的生命跟御本尊,这一生命最高的潜能"融为一体",到了这一刻,就是佛法说的【人法一个】。


这时的你,你的生命里有御本尊,御本尊的生命也有你。

还有一点唱题时,千万不要在"心"中盘算等一下要如何做,这样的题目无助于转换宿命。比如,有财务烦恼时,千万不要想怎么去解决问题,因为御本尊会安排最好的解决方法给你,如果你自己心里盘算着一些方法,这个方法可能不是最好的,也可能会带来反效果,这样御本尊就不会按照你想的方法去做。

你唯一需要做的就是【专心唱题】

,什么都不必想。御本尊知道你的烦恼,也会安排最好的解决方法。如果你一直想着中彩票来解决你的经济问题,这已经限制了御本尊的力量。

因为得到财富,转换经济宿命,可以有很多方法,如果你一直祈求中彩票,没有中的话,你就可能会埋怨御本尊,甚至怀疑御本尊,这就削弱了你的祈求力量。

但,当你換一个方式做祈求,跟御本尊说:【给你财富,让你生活无忧,也让你可以专心做广宣流布】。


那么,御本尊就会安排一个最恰当的致富方案,这不一定是中彩票,可能御本尊会安排让你找到一份很好的事业,以后赚到的钱会比中彩票还要多。

有"健康"问题,唱题时千万不要想治病的方法。不需要祈求御本尊,安排你找到最好的医生,你只需要祈求【自己身体健康】、祈求【自己没有病业苦恼】、祈求【自己有健康的身体让你做广宣流布】。

以这样的方式祈求的话,"不可思议"的事情往往就会发生,有时甚至不必看医生,也会自然痊愈。

简单的说,我们唱题的时候,可以想着"自己的愿望",在心中描绘出它(愿望)的模样,想象达成愿望时的样子。我们可以将目标视觉化正像的做法,但是不要去盘算要如何达成目标。

【祈念应该出自于你的"内心"】

,而不是脑袋,不要去想用什么方法来达成愿望,我们只需要祈求结果就行了。

记得御本尊知道你所有的烦恼及愿望,看着"御本尊"单纯的唱题就行了,烦恼和欲望都放在心底吧!心无旁骛,好好的做完勤行与唱题。

【南无妙法莲华经】就能深入你的"生命"根底,消解业障,让你往好的方向前进!

再次强调,题目要发自"生命",如果用"脑袋"唱题,只会越唱越觉得思绪纷乱。当你"闭着眼"唱题,或者"沒有专注"于御本尊,你的生命跟御本尊的交流就比较弱,你的脑袋就有机可乘。随时提醒【自己要唱出清澈、自信,自然的题目】。

人很容易受旧习惯制约,或是在精神紧绷时被情绪牵着走。唱题时候就是唱题,不要一边看书,不要做任何其他事情。读书的时间读书,唱题的时间就是专心唱题,好好唱完题目之后,你可以看点书。也许你唱完题目,马上要出门去工作,也许你有其他的事要忙。

不管生活再怎么忙碌,千万不要来个"匆忙的唱题",唱题当下就是要【专注、从容】,如此集中精神的题量加查金製茶,当:不要制手机",如果真的不能够专心,那么开着唱题的声音,和音频一起唱题还是可以的。

池田先生说过:【为广宣流布而行动,为了广布想拿出"信心胜利"的实证而奋起时,必然会蒙受无法用言语形容的大功德】!

上班也一样,为公司卖力,公司才会发给你薪水,为了御本尊的愿望,广宣流布的行动,其结果必有功德,这是当然的事。光会向御本尊要东西,好像御本尊有义务要给与功德似的。戶田先生经常说,这种信心,就像乞丐的信心。

而指导说:【要抱着勇于为广宣流布赌命奋斗的信心,如果坚持愿拼命守护御本尊和妙法的信心,三世十方的佛、菩萨必会守护这个人。无量的诸天、佛、菩萨必然会拼命报答一心想做广宣流布、宣弘妙法的人】。

总之,唱题的时间是拿来"灌溉你的生命",而不是让你去思考策略。

唱题的时候是"滋润法性",而不是要规划一天的行程,在脑海里想象你的目标,而不是"策略"和过程。

【本從之師】


【本從之師】

眾生從過去世以來,就一直跟隨的宿緣深厚之師。
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

文中首先引用了《法華經》<化城喻品第七>的「在在諸佛土 常與師俱生」等四句經釋。證明唯有靠曾在過去世結緣的宿緣深厚之師的教化眾生才能成佛。

「在在諸佛土,常與師俱生」這句經文,並非只教說師弟關係之長遠,也在教說師弟一直都秉持與菩薩一樣的大願,一直奮戰至今。此菩薩的大願就是「欲實現自他皆幸福」的誓願,這菩薩之心正是大乘佛教的歸結。

再從《法華經》本門來看,此大願與地涌菩薩的誓願相通,是發自永遠之佛生命中,所具備的慈悲生命。

「《法華經》就好像種籽,佛就好像是種植的人,眾生就好像田地一樣。」

在眾生的生命這塊田地上,播下《法華經》這種籽,觸發眾生的佛性,也由於是透過從過去世以來就結下深厚宿緣的「本從之師」所播的種,所以人與人,生命與生命,能受到觸發。

【鼓勵】一切都是從「一個人」開始


【鼓勵】
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

一切都是從「一個人」開始

世界廣布大河,也是從奮起的一個人鼓勵另一個人,由這聯結心靈的作業開始的。

完全地信賴、期待、守護和關注。從這裡開始了壯大的廣布長河。

「鼓勵一個人、一個人變得幸福,這就是「廣宣流布」的所有原則。」
(《法華經的智慧》)

池田先生向每一個人呼籲:
「假如一天能鼓勵一個人,三十年間就能鼓勵一萬人。我就是這樣下決心。與三障四魔連續抗戰之中,一個又一個地親手培育起人才。今後也一樣,學會永遠以人才贏取勝利。這條勝利之道,我希望至為信賴的各位能和我一起開闢下去。至為尊貴的各位,我會一直為你們送上題目。」

在師匠的信賴與期待下,一個個弟子挺身回應,如此來開闢「世界廣布的新時代。」

佛法是變毒為藥的大法


學習池田大作先生指導

佛法是變毒為藥的大法

[佛法教導「變毒為藥」的法理。只要秉持強盛的信心,就能將煩惱與痛苦此「毒」,轉變為獲得幸福與勝利的「藥」。]

        人生必然有勝有負。有悲傷的時候,也有痛苦的時候。
        但是,佛法教示「煩惱即菩提」、「生死即涅槃」。煩惱、痛苦愈大,透過信心,愈能轉化為莫大的歡喜、幸福。
        信心不是為了別人,是為了自己能度過滿足有意義的人生,為此而信仰、付諸行動。信心是為了增加自己的福德,開創幸福的道路。因此,為了區區小事而忽喜忽憂,心情波動起伏,不算是有信仰的人。
        總之,在妙法的世界裡,不論發生什麼事,一定能夠隨著歲月「變毒為藥」。
        說到「藥」與「毒」的關係,其實兩者之間可以說並沒有明確的界線。會因配方或服用者生命力的強弱,有時發揮「毒」性,有時發揮「藥」效。有位學者以一句話來表達這個事實說:「藥是拯救生命的毒。」
        人生的勝負也是同樣的道理,贏得最後的勝利,經歷的一切都變成是「藥」;相對地,最後敗北的話,不管以往發揮任何「藥」效,可能最後都變成「毒」。
        那麼,何謂最後的勝利?那就是「信心的勝利」。這才是「人生的勝利」、「三世永遠的勝利」。

In this new era of worldwide kosen-rufu, Sensei has decided to enable all SGI members around the world to pray to this Gohonzon that is so close to his and his mentor's heart. This is because he hopes we can all succeed the same spirit And the HGV Training Programme is curated based on the above significance and spirit.

We would like to reiterate that the spirit of making our vow and to pray with the same heart as Sensei for kosen-rufu at the gongyo session remains the sole importance spirit for this trip. 

Since it is going to be first training programme that we are resuming we are extending this opportunity and priority to those 65 years and above, ambulant and have not been to the Hall of Great Vow for kosen-rufu before (including personal trip).

As we continue this training programme, we may review and make changes accordingly.

Announcement on Special Contribution Fund

Announcement on Special Contribution Fund

Good afternoon/evening everyone!
Do you recall at the discussion meeting last month, General Director and the 4 Chiefs shared the joyous news of our three Soka centres: Soka Preschool, Tampines Soka Centre and Soka Culture Centre (Jurong), had successfully renewed the land lease for
another 30 years?

It is definitely a very significant milestone for all of us as we are securing the foundation
for the advancement of kosen-rufu towards 2050.

With the renewal of the land lease which requires increasing the current gross floor
area, some reconstruction works are required at these three centres. 

That's why we are initiating a special contribution fund campaign to support the building works and this contribution will begin next month.

Let's all look forward to contributing joyfully in this special contribution fund, shall we?

给座谈会御书讲解干事的补充资料(3月份)

给座谈会御书讲解干事的补充资料(3月份)

<Slide1>

《复高桥书其二》(别名:米谷御书)


其地之佛法,悉以委君。"佛种从缘起,是故说一乘。"(御书文白并列本III,380页)


——————————


<Slide2>


白话文


您那个地方的佛法,就完全委由您来弘扬吧。"成佛的种子是由缘所引发的,所以佛陀们宣说一乘法的《法华经》。"(方便品)


<Slide3>


(A)背景与大意


(请参考2025年3月份的《创价人生》并加以概述。)
  • 本篇御书是日莲大圣人写给骏河国(今静冈县中部)富士一带的中心门人
  • 当时富士一带是以日兴上人为中心,大势展开折伏的奋战。
  • 当权者因此感到威胁而对这一带的大圣人的弟子施加迫害,最终引发热原法难。
  • 这篇御书据说是在当权者的镇压加剧的时候寄出去的。

<Slide4>

(B)重点分享


学习御文的要点:

1."一人奋起的精神"让我们发挥无限可能性

2.真心的对话扩大佛缘

3.勇气的对话会产生信赖,构筑自他彼此的幸福


<Slide5>

1."一人奋起的精神"让我们发挥无限可能性


本篇御书被认为是日莲大圣人写给骏河国(今静冈县中部)富士一带的中心门人的一封长信的部分内容。它也曾经被认为是写给高桥六郎兵卫入道的,但详情不明。


当时富士一带是以日兴上人为中心,大势展开折伏的奋战。当权者因此感到威胁而对这一带的大圣人的弟子施加迫害,最终引发热原法难。这篇御书据说是在当权者的镇压加剧的时候寄出去的。


大圣人在御书中写道:"您那个地方的佛法,就完全委由您来弘扬吧。"收到这封信的弟子想必被师匠充满信赖的一句话深深激励而奋起吧。


御文中的"那个地方"是指那位弟子居住的富士一带。以现代来说,可理解为我们居住的社区、职场和家庭等,跟我们相关的所有场所。



关于社区的广宣流布,池田先生在指导中列出三个要点要我们牢记的:



<Slide6>


第一重要的是无论如何也要在这个社区推进广宣流布的"决意"。自己为广布一人奋起,用自己双手把这个社区变成幸福园地,没有这样的一念和行动,几年、几十年过去也丝毫不能改变现状。


第二,学会员在社区赢得"信赖"。信赖的土壤被耕耘,对话也就会开花结果。信赖是人际关系的基础。


<Slide7>


第三,个人彻底显示信仰的"实证"。改善经济环境、克服疾病、建设和乐家庭等当然是重要的实证,还有培养遇到各种人生考验也不屈服的坚强的心,磨砺人格,成为无人不喜欢、无人不尊敬的人,这可说就是放射金辉的实证。


以"决意"、"信赖"、"实证"前进,将开拓社区广布的大道。

(《新人间革命》第28卷之"广宣谱")


<Slide8>


正如池田先生指导中所教导的,最重要莫过于"自己全权负起社区广布的责任"这种"一人奋起的精神"。

当我们深深自觉"自己正是社区的幸福负责人"而奋起时,就能充分发挥出自己内在具有的无限力量。


<Slide9>


2.真心的对话扩大佛缘

接着,大圣人说:"成佛的种子是由缘所引发的"。这是教导一切众生生命内在的佛界因接触到"缘"而显现的道理,因此敦促弟子们,要实践触发佛界生命的"对话"。

<Slide10>


关于这一点,池田先生有以下的指导:

原本每个人都具有佛生命,但是如果没有接触过说出真实佛界的《法华经》,内在的佛生命就不会启动。因此诉说"一乘"、即诉说能使万众成佛的"南无妙法莲华经"是非常重要的。

大圣人的佛法是"下种佛法"。

透过佛法对话,于友人心田撒下成佛的种子(下种),将成为使对方佛性跃动的一切出发点。


<Slide11>


于"关心社区与社会"、"生动地谈体验"中,缔结信赖与友谊,成为当地的幸福负责人、"立正安国栋梁"的同志,如今遍布世界各地。

"开拓友情"就是"开拓广布"。

"扩大鼓励"就是"扩大善缘"。

若能勇敢爽朗地尽力诉说,为友人祈求与行动,芳香的"幸福花朵"一定会绽开在彼此的生命中。

(池田SGI会长讲义《照耀世界的太阳佛法》)


<Slide12>

祈愿他人幸福、积极地缔结羁绊的学会员所进行的勇气的对话,正是现代不轻菩萨的实践。彻底为广布的使命而活,这当中一定能打开自他彼此都幸福的境界。

<Slide13>


3.勇气的对话会产生信赖,构筑自他彼此的幸福

大圣人在这一节御文中鼓励这名弟子要 "宣说一乘法的《法华经》。

"说出万众成佛的法华经正是救济一切众生的唯一教义。

而末法的法华经就是"南无妙法莲华经"、就是"御本尊"。

关于这一点,池田先生有以下说明:


<Slide14>


"宣说一乘",也就是说出能触发他人佛种的真实。

为民众带来真正幸福,才是大圣人佛法的根本目的。没有比现在更渴求彻底阐明万众尊严的人本主义佛法的时代。


<Slide15>

触发每一个人佛生命的人本主义对话,正是我们直接受大圣人委托的伟大圣业,我们要秉持此大确信来前进。

希望大家堂堂自觉使命,为了社区民众的繁荣,奋勇踏出一步。

我们所推动的一对一的"扩大对话"虽不显眼,却是实现"扩大幸福"、构筑"扩大民众胜利"的扎实之路。

(池田SGI会长讲义《照耀世界的太阳佛法》)


池田先生自青年时代起,只要一有机会,就向周围的人宣说佛法。先生在指导中追述恩师户田先生如何全心全意地支持他所做的这种努力,说:


<Slide16>


我在做折伏时,户田先生也曾专程到场。为了一个经验不足的青年而亲临折伏现场,实在是难能可贵的师匠。


先生曾说:"折伏会留下信赖。"所以要祈求对方幸福,认真地诉说。不管对方信与不信,这种至诚的心,不可能不通达对方。

(池田SGI会长讲义《照耀世界的太阳佛法》)


<Slide17>


理事长2025年新年贺词


在纪念SGI成立50周年之际,让我们重温池田先生于2009年新年贺词中言及的SGI的使命,先生说:


<Slide18>

“人类目前需要勇气与希望,推动变革,以达成可持续的发展、永续和平。带给人类社会‘勇气能源’与‘希望哲学’,正是我SGI荣耀的崇高使命。


我们的运动不在远方,而是在于伸手可及的周遭友人和社会的关系中,也就是扩大一对一的诚挚对话。”


(2025-01 《创价人生》第8-9页)


本着池田先生的指导,让我们越发努力奋斗,在今年获得大胜利!


??Not in slides


对话时尽最大的能力向对方诉说妙法,这种精神至为重要。鼓起勇气展开对话和弘教,会产生信赖,构筑自他彼此的幸福。


让我们放眼创价学会创立百年,努力与他人分享佛法吧。

人生的光榮就在於貫徹自身使命

学习池田SGI会长的指导

人生的光榮就在於貫徹自身使命。從根本來說,社會地位、職務高低、貧窮富貴等,都不是問題。而是身為人,要如何發揮自身價值。

SGI Study Training Course Handout (Mar 5, 2025)


SGI Study Training Course Handout (Mar 5, 2025)

SGI Study Training Course Handout (March 5, 2025)

Lecture by: Mr Koji Ishida (SGI Vice Study Leader)

SGI President Ikeda's Study Lecture Series:

The Buddhism of the Sun — Illuminating the World

Key Passages from

The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings

[14] "The Bodhisattva Never Disparaging" Chapter

[Reference Material 1]

Summary of the "The Bodhisattva Never Disparaging" Chapter

Following the revelation of the Buddha's eternal life in the "Life

Span" (16th) Chapter, the first half of the "Distinctions in Benefits"

(17th) explains the benefits obtained by those listening to the Buddha

preach on his boundless life span. Subsequently, from the latter half

of this chapter through "The Benefits of Responding with Joy" (18th)

Chapter, the "Benefits of the Teacher of the Law" (19th) Chapter, and

the "The Bodhisattva Never Disparaging" (20th) Chapter, the merits

of spreading the Lotus Sutra are expounded.

Specifically, "The Bodhisattva Never Disparaging" Chapter

illustrates both the benefit of embracing and practicing the Lotus

Sutra and the gravity of retribution for slandering its votaries

through the practice of Bodhisattva Never Disparaging, who is

revealed as Shakyamuni in a previous lifetime,

Bodhisattva Never Disparaging would bow in reverence to

everyone he met, monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen with the

absolute belief that every individual inherently possess the state of

Buddhahood. Through his continuous practice of bowing in

reverence to others, he purified his six senses and ultimately

attained Buddhahood.

Page 1 of 8


SGI Study Training Course Handout (Mar 5, 2025)

[Reference Material 2]

The story of Bodhisattva Never Disparaging — described in the

Lotus Sutra — is one of reaching out to people day after day,

talking with them and affirming the dignity and nobility of their

lives. It is a tale of unwavering belief in people's innate potential

and of showing each person the deepest respect.

Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's Buddhist practice wasn't

anything complicated; he simply continued, with pure-hearted

lifelong dedication, to bow in reverence to everyone he met. And

as a result, he became a towering champion of humanity who was

able to lead to enlightenment even those who had formerly

persecuted him.

(From The Buddhism of the Sun — Illuminating the World, OTT

14; published in March 2005 issue of the Creative Life, pp. 5-6 )

[Reference Material 3]

The more that people believe in the inherent goodness of human

beings, and the more we base our interactions on mutual respect,

the stronger the current of respect for the dignity of life will

become, spreading throughout the world. Ultimately, this will

enable us to put an end to the cycle of conflict and hatred that

seems to have defined the karma of humankind and open the way

to a new era of mutual understanding and peace building.

The humanistic ideal embodied in the behaviour of

Bodhisattva Never Disparaging is the model for action our world

so desperately needs.

[Chapter Twenty: The Bodhisattva Never Disparaging

Thirty important points]

Point One, regarding Bodhisattva [Constantly] Never

Disparaging

The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings says:

The word "Constantly" in the name [Constantly] Never

Disparaging refers to the bodhisattva Never Disparaging

who is constantly present in the three existences of past,

present, and future. The name "Never Disparaging"

refers to the three inherent potentials of the Buddha

nature that is present in the minds of all living beings.

The Buddha nature is the Dharma nature. And the

Dharma nature is Myoho-renge-kyo. (OTT, pp. 150–51)

[Reference Material 4]

The defining characteristic of Buddhism is that it clarifies the way

to activate the Buddha nature which, though inactive at the

moment, exists innately within all people.

The ability to awaken and reveal the Buddha nature exists

potentially within everyone, but the influence of another person

is required to make an ordinary human being aware of that. What

Buddhism calls a good friend is crucial for bringing forth the

three inherent potentials of the Buddha nature.

Only a good friend dedicated to the vow for kosen-rufu,

who prays for a person's happiness and teaches them about

Buddhism, can awaken that person's Buddha nature. In some

cases, it's as if that gold of the innate Buddha nature is buried

deep in solid rock. But a good friend remains undeterred and

keeps at it until they uncover the gold of happiness. Only through

the patient, persevering efforts of such a good friend to connect

them to Buddhism will a person finally awaken to their potential

and become able to excavate their precious inner treasure with

their own hands.

(From The Buddhism of the Sun — Illuminating the World, OTT

14; published in March 2005 issue of the Creative Life, p. 11)

[Reference Material 5]

Helping people from all walks of life form connections with

Buddhism, even in challenging or adverse circumstances,

exemplifies the spirit of compassion. This is the spirit of our

dialogues as Soka Gakkai members. Sharing Buddhism to the best

of our ability with courage, sincerity, and genuine concern for the

other person is an action embodying the Buddha's compassion.

We substitute courage for compassion.

[Gosho Passage # 2]

(Published in Creative Life March 2025 issue page 14)

Point Thirteen, concerning the passage "Gainer of Great

Authority, at that time the four kinds of believers,

the monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen, because anger

arose in their minds and they treated me [as Bodhisattva

Never Disparaging in a previous existence] with

disparagement and contempt, were for two hundred

million kalpas never able to encounter a Buddha, to hear

the Law, or to see the community of monks [literally, the

samgha, or community of practitioners]. . . ." [LSOC20, pp.

310–11]

The "Buddha" spoken of in this passage, the Buddha of the

Latter Day of the Law, is an ordinary mortal and an ordinary

priest. The "Law" is the daimoku [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo].

The "community of monks" is we practitioners of the Lotus

Sutra. We may be called Buddhas, and we may also be called

ordinary priests, because "to have a profound realisation of

the perfect principle is called being a Buddha" (from volume

seven of [T'ien-t'ai's] The Profound Meaning of the Lotus

Sutra). The perfect principle is the Lotus Sutra. (OTT, p. 157)

[Reference Material 6]

This passage states that the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law

is "an ordinary mortal and an ordinary priest" (OTT, p. 157).

Mr Toda once discussed it in a lecture, saying: "Neither

Bodhisattva Never Disparaging nor the Daishonin had the

appearance of a magnificent, light-emanating Buddha. The

Daishonin was an ordinary human being."

The principle that "ordinary people are identical with the

highest level of being [i.e., Buddhahood]" (OTT, p. 22) defines

the true nature of the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law,

affirming that genuine Buddhas are not superhuman beings.

Kosen-rufu is a struggle that advances through

practitioners going out into society and, like Bodhisattva Never

Disparaging, engaging with one individual after another and

forging personal relationships. People who share and spread

the Mystic Law for the sake of those who are suffering will

attain Buddhahood. It has nothing to do with social status,

titles, or recognition.

[Point Twenty-three, concerning the bow of obeisance related

to ignorance]

The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings says: When one

sets up distinctions between self and others, then the "others"

are the four kinds of believers of overbearing arrogance, and

the "I" is the bodhisattva Never Disparaging. To set up

distinctions between good and bad by regarding the

bodhisattva Never Disparaging as a "good" person and the

arrogant ones as "bad" persons is a sign of ignorance.

But when one recognises this and performs a bow of

obeisance, then one is bowing in obeisance to Nam-myoho-

renge-kyo, the principle in which good and bad are not two

different things, in which correct and incorrect are one and the

same. (OTT, pp. 162–63)

[Reference Material 7]

History teaches us that religion, while in one regard seeking

happiness for people, has all too often been a source of division

and conflict. The Lotus Sutra embodies a wisdom that

transcends the duality of good and evil and regards both good

and evil as potentials within all human beings. These potentials

lie dormant or emerge depending upon external causes and

conditions. It holds that it is possible to activate the good and

teaches the principles for doing that.

Believing steadfastly in our own and others' Buddha nature and

following through with actions expressing profound respect for

people are key to transforming this age of the Latter Day of the

Law.

The practice of Bodhisattva Never Disparaging is the path

of dialogue to enable people to realise their full potential. When

one young person after another embraces and carries on this

practice, it will bring us steadily and surely closer to realising

world peace.

I still remember what my mentor, Mr Toda, said to me one

day as he looked out at the sunset sea in his hometown of

Atsuta Village in Hokkaido: "It's a big, wide world. There are still

people who weep in anguish and children who cower in the

crossfire of war. You must illuminate Asia and the entire world

with the flame of the Mystic Law. You must do this in my place."

And in his place, I worked with our members to open the

way for worldwide kosen-rufu, sowing the seeds of peace of the

Mystic Law everywhere I went. Now, as we approach [2024,

which has been designated] the Year of Fresh Departure for a

Youthful Soka Gakkai Worldwide, I would like to present our

youthful Bodhisattvas of the Earth, whose hearts are one with

mine, with the words my mentor said to me in the past, and ask

that they strive "in my place."

[Reference Material 9]

We have all emerged in the places of our mission due to our vow

as Bodhisattvas of the Earth. We "follow in the footsteps" (WND-

1, p. 641) of Bodhisattva Never Disparaging, persevering in our

practice of showing respect for others, undeterred by criticism

and negativity.

Everywhere around the world, we are tenaciously engaging

in dialogue based on friendship and courageously sowing the

seeds of Buddhahood as Soka Bodhisattvas Never Disparaging.

Through such efforts, we are creating a noble history of

activating the goodness within the hearts of the global human

family.

The curtain has now finally risen on the crucial seven years

for securing an unshakeable foundation for lasting world peace!
