Wednesday
FIRST of all, let’s overcome our
own weakness. With this victory, we can launch a fresh and fulfilling
day. For Buddhist practice begins with winning over our own weakness.
IT is remarkable how even in the most difficult circumstances the
determination of a leader can draw forth irrepressible joy and courage
and can inspire profound confidence in everyone. You are all leaders of
faith. Therefore, no matter what might happen, please continue
resolutely leading the way to victory, encouraging everyone and helping
them advance with hope and in high spirits.
HAPPINESS blooms in the garden of the heart. Big, beautiful blossoms of
happiness flower in a rich and strong spiritual soil. But neither hopes
nor dreams will grow in a barren spiritual soil that is dominated by
violence and greed.
ACHIEVING ultimate victory in our lives is a process of concluding every
challenge, each day in victory. If each small battle is inconclusive,
there can be no victory; and that means defeat. Ultimately, whether we
are victorious in our lives and throughout the three existences of past,
present and future is determined by our efforts today; it is determined
by our ichinen, or resolve, at this moment.
BECAUSE life is long, you should not be impatient. What matters most is
that you embrace the Gohonzon throughout your life. It is vitally
important to continually challenge yourself to chant even a little more
daimoku and to pray before the Gohonzon for the fulfillment of your
desires.
