“Progress and improvement are obstructed by the complacent attitude of 'I’ve now done enough.' New wisdom, power and creativity arise through the earnest resolve and commitment to overcome that complacence in order to do the best job possible.”

Gosho of the day....
(Nichiren Daishonin)

🌺 When one comes to the end of one’s good fortune, no strategy whatsoever avails. When one’s karmic rewards are exhausted, even one’s retainers no longer follow one. You survived because you still have both good fortune and rewards.🌺

The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra

....Chanting Daimoku....

Sensei encourages us and always wants us to chant daimoku and do our absolute best!

He says " It is important... to have the courage to ask yourself what it is that you should be doing now at this very moment. The key, is to climb the mountain before you. As you ascend it's slopes, you will develop muscles, increasing your strength and endurance. Such training will enable you to challenge still higher mountains. It is vital that you continue making such efforts.

Chanting daimoku will enable you to bring forth the necessary life force to succeed."

Chant daimoku and climb the mountain before you. When you reach the summit, wide, new horizons will stretch out before you. Little by little, you will begin to understand your mission."

This moment, this instant is important, not some unknown time in the future. Today, this very day, is what matters. We must put our entire beings into the present—for future victory is contained in this moment.

….Wisdom for Modern Life, October 26th….

Buddhism is a movement emphasizing self-education with the aim of unlocking and developing our inherent Buddha nature while at the same time bringing forth diverse wisdom and using various expedient means to help others tap their Buddhahood. This development of potential, this education of oneself and others, is the noblest path a human being can ever pursue.

♦️🌟THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED THE MOST WILL BECOME THE HAPPIEST🌟♦️

“In the course of life," Shin’ichi said, "there may be painful times and sad times, and even times when we lose hope. But by chanting daimoku before the Gohonzon, we can bring forth strength and limitless life force. And as we continue to chant and share Nichiren Buddhism with others, we naturally come to transform our karma and accumulate great good fortune in our lives. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ourselves and teaching others to do the same are the driving force for persevering through the harsh realities of society.

“In the realm of faith, all the struggles and hardships undertaken for the sake of the Law and kosen-rufu become great benefit and good fortune. In fact, those who have suffered the most will become the happiest. This is the essence of Nichiren Buddhism."

Our karma is the noble mission that we chose to take on. Buddhist principles such as 'earthly desires lead to enlightenment', 'the sufferings of birth and death lead to nirvana' and changing poison into medicine' teach us that if we have a strong core of faith in our lives, we can dramatically turn around all misfortune that may assail us.

The bitter tears shed for the sake of kosen-rufu become tears of joy, the insults and abuse hurled at us become praise, and the hard struggles we go through become a shining crown of honour.

Courageously making efforts each day for the sake of Buddhism, the happiness of others and the welfare of society is what matters. Our joy upon achieving victory is all the greater for the struggles we undergo along the way.

Health is not simply a matter of absence of illness. Health means constant challenge. Constant creativity. A prolific life always moving forward, opening up fresh new vistas ---- that is life of true health. An unbeatable spirit is what supplies the power to keep pressing ahead.
