THERE are people who live in
lavish mansions, but are not happy in the least. There are those who
are fabulously rich, yet miserable. Wealth does not equal happiness.
Rather, for many people it can actually be a source of suffering.
Similarly, just because you gain social position or graduate from a
prestigious university does not necessarily mean you will be happy.
NICHIREN DAISHONIN said, “Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what
there is to enjoy.” (WND, p681) By leading such a vigourous and vibrant
life, we are able to advance each day by leaps and bounds towards
absolute happiness, and help others do the same.
CONVICTION gives birth to courage. Faith is the highest conviction.
For this reason, people of faith must possess the greatest courage.
NICHIREN DAISHONIN stated in the Gosho, “There is no greater happiness
for human beings than chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.” So long as you
maintain strong faith, resolutely chanting daimoku to the Gohonzon no
matter happens, then you will without fail be able to lead a life of
complete fulfillment. This is in accordance with the principle that
earthly desires are enlightenment.
FAITH is the important thing. Everything is ultimately determined by
the strength of one’s faith. I hope you will be confident of the
greatness of faith, and lead lives that brighten your workplaces,
communities and society itself.
