HOW important it is to help our
children inherit faith! When children embrace faith we can be assured of
having prayers offered to us after we have died. Moreover, when
children and parents practise correct faith together, they can be born
together in lifetime after lifetime, and together enjoy an unsurpassed
state of being. This is what Nichiren Daishonin taught.
IN life, having a master is a source of happiness and great joy. The
deep relationship between master and disciple is no readily
understandable to others. Although unnoticed, when you pursue and
proudly carry on in the way of master and disciple which you have
chosen, beauty and nobleness will radiate from the depths of your life.
LIFE will be enjoyable. And death will be peaceful, a glorious journey
to the next enjoyable life. When winter arrives, the trees and other
plants temporarily lose their leaves. But those plants possess the life
to send forth new green shoots when spring comes. Human death is like
that, but we potentially possess a life force that leads us to a new
life – to a new mission – immediately and without pain.
IT is only to the extent that people pray and exert themselves for
others that they can create golden histories in their own lives. This is
the law of cause and effect. Once you understand this, you will realize
that complaining is meaningless. You will also refuse to be affected by
what others who make no effort might say.
THE purpose of faith is to realize a state of eternal happiness. This
existence is as fleeting as a dream. We practice faith in order to
awaken from this dream and firmly establish a state of eternal happiness
in the depths of our lives during this lifetime. That is what it means
to “attain Buddhahood in this lifetime”.
