日積月累才會成為力量

能夠持續認真地勤行、唱題,是多麼了不起的事啊!這全都是為了自己,不是義務,而是自己的權利。御本尊絕不會強逼你來信仰,發自內心的信仰,才是真正的信心。自己努力奮鬥,終將成為自己的收穫。 
總之不必覺得受到束縛。佛法是要讓人們自由,而不是要束縛人。從少到多,重要的是每天做。每天吃飯,會形成體力;讀書也是,日積月累才會成為力量。「每日的生活即人生」,因此,非得「每日的生活即成長」不可,而其推動力就是勤行。 
勤勵於勤行這項修行,就是每天作心的鍛鍊,會清淨自身生命,發動引擎,步上正軌。促進身心的正常運轉,調整規律。

《青春對話》

I can do more!

When we limit ourselves with low expectations, the growth of the tree of happiness ceases. The power of growth, of improvement, the power to overcome all stagnation and break through every obstacle and transform a barren wasteland into a verdant field -- that unstoppable power of hope resides right within your own heart. It wells up from the rich earth of your innermost being when you face the future without doubt or fear: "I can do more. I can grow. I can become a bigger and better human being." Life is a never-ending struggle to grow.

Prayers

Prayers are invisible, but if we pray steadfastly they will definitely effect clear results in our lives and surroundings over time. This is the principle of the true entity of all phenomena. Faith means having confidence in this invisible realm.

題目是『前進』的力量. 題目是『勝利』的力量

我們唱誦的題目,有「生存的力量」,有「幸福的源泉」。題目的音律,吻合大宇宙的旋律,有著能從根柢變革生命的偉大力量。以強盛的祈求,就能衝破慘淡愁雲、跨越艱難險境,爽朗地攀登榮耀滿載的人生山峰。

池田先生說:「題目是『前進』的力量,題目是『勝利』的力量。一切的奮戰,都要從祈求開始。誰也無法戰勝唱題不懈的人。」三代會長皆以勇猛精進的題目為根本,展開每天的奮戰,開創出勝利無悔的人生。就讓我們以勇猛精進的唱題,鍛鍊自己的生命,創造勝利、再勝利的人生吧!

“使人們幸福”的題目 Chanting with the spirit to help people become happy

唱唸自行化他的題目,引導人類走向“和平”“幸福”至末法萬年無盡之永遠,是日蓮大聖人佛法的真髓。亦即,是為“使人們幸福”的題目,為“在現實社會推動廣宣流布”的信心。

The essence of Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism is to chant daimoku encompassing practice both for oneself and others, and lead all humanity to peace and happiness in the Latter Day of the law and for all eternity. This means chanting with the spirit to help people become happy and advancing with faith that is directed towards realizing kosen-rufu in actual society.
