In a family, if one person is unhappy, then so is the entire family. Therefore, I would like you to sincerely pray for and protect one another so that there are no people who are unfortunate and unhappy, or who abandon their faith, and that every person will become happy. These are the kinds of humanistic bonds among fellow members that give birth to true unity.
Coercion or force stemming from power and authority is ineffective at critical moments. Always live as harmonious family members of the Mystic Law, embodying the spirit of many in body, one in mind. No matter what happens, I hope that you will continue to advance, directing your hearts toward unity and friendship.
It was not authority that united the Daishonin and his followers; nor was it their concern for profit. They were united in heart. For this reason, their bond was indestructible. For this reason, their lives overflowed with benefit and their connection was lofty and eternal.
The new vitality of American society is produced by returning to the starting point to the ideals on which your country was founded. Similarly, you should also reconfirm the fundamental path of faith, practice and study and make a fresh departure based on the Unity of many in body, one in mind the starting point of our movement. This is the key to the reconstruction of the SGI-USA as a model organization.It is important to have the Compassion to respond to a person's needs and situation, to give considered thought to how you can best help him or her and then take appropriate action. Wisdom arises from compassion.
In any struggle, the critical point is how a leader inspires others. As you are leaders of Kosen-Rufu, I ask that you encourage friends of the Mystic Law in such a manner that the powers of faith and life force surge forth in their lives. I hope that your efforts in the struggle of faith will serve to increase the majesty and strength of the Buddhist gods.
It is important that we offer prayers with great confidence. The powers of the Buddha and the Law are activated in direct proportion to the strength of our faith and Practice. Strong faith is like high voltage it turns on a brilliant light in our lives.
Buddhism means putting the teachings into practice. Practice equals faith. With sincere prayers and action, our desires can not possibly fail to be fulfilled.The famous poet Shelley said: If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?No matter how long and bitter winter may be, spring always follows. This is the law of the universe, the joyful law of life.
If you are the type whose resolve tends to melt away easily, if you find it difficult to stick to your goal, then just renew your determination each time you find yourself slipping. You will achieve your Human Revolution without fail if you keep struggling valiantly, pressing forward despite setbacks and disappointments, always: This time I'll make it! This time I will succeed!. Hope, Beethoven cried, you forge the heart into steel. Hope is confidence. Hope is determination. Hope is courage. And Faith is the ultimate expression of hope. Belief fortifies the heart.
Those who can resolve I will make a new departure!, I will construct something new! will be victorious in the end. By contrast, those who think I've done enough already are leading lives of defeat.
Buddhism is victory or defeat. Life is an eternal struggle. To the end, we should live with strength and vigor. In any realm of activity, reality is very strict. It is the power of Buddhism that enables us to win in any situation. Difficulties are inevitable in life that is true for everyone. Herein lies a profound reason for our practice. We should always remember this.
As long as you base your life on faith in the Mystic Law, everything that you do has significance. All that you experience will function to enable you to realize the greatest happiness and Buddhahood.
In good times or bad, the important thing is that you continue chanting daimoku. Only when you live up to your own individual mission and devote yourself to the practice of chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, while encouraging others to do the same, your self will be filled with the Mystic law, merging with the realm of Buddhahood in the universe that pervades the three existences of past, present and future. In this condition, you will enjoy absolute security and total freedom.( President Ikeda, Today Onward-Vol 2)
Admirable Nichiro, because you have read the entirety of the Lotus Sutra with both the physical and the spiritual aspects of your life, you will also be able to save your father and mother, your six kinds of relatives, and all living beings. Others read the Lotus Sutra with their mouths alone, in word alone, but they do not read it with their hearts. And even if they read it with their hearts, they do not read it with their actions. It is reading the sutra with both one's body and mind that is truly praiseworthy! ( From the Gosho: Letter to Priest Nichiro)
A ship's engine and propeller are invisible to most people. In the future, I will continue to treasure those working behind the scenes the most. (President Ikeda, A Youthful Diary)
Win in your endeavors. Please do not let yourself be defeated, giving into despair and feelings of insecurity. Everything in life is a struggle. If you win, life is wonderful, and you feel great. If you lose, you feel awful. Any goal is fine. The important thing is to strive toward it, triumphing in each challenge along the way. True victory is winning over your own mind. It is not determined by other's opinions. Nor is there any need for you to compare yourself with others. A genuine victor in life is one who can declare, I lived true to myself, and I have won! I am a spiritual victor!
(President Ikeda, World Tribune, 4/7/00)
