飛機的機翼不受氣壓的阻力, 就不能起飛.
同樣地, 除非我們在人生中經歷困難與痛苦, 我們就無法感受真正的喜悅.
雖然我們必會在人生旅途中遭遇種種困難與阻礙, 當我們為廣宣流布而活時, 生命將在周圍的人的眼中發出光輝, 即使我們本身不覺察到這個事實.
Without the pressure of air against its wings, an airplane cannot fly.
In a similar sense, unless we experience hardship and suffering in life, we cannot feel any real joy.
Though we will definitely meet difficulty and resistance in life when we live for the sake of kosen-rufu, our around us, even though we, ourselves, may not be aware of it.

我們為了推進廣宣流布與磨練信心而存在的組織, 好比是連接我們的生命與信心血脈的橋樑, 幫助我們成佛與得到絕對的幸福.
不過, 認為可單獨修行而脫離組織的人, 會傾於在信心上發展一種為個人看法與偏見所歪曲的我見態度.
Our organisation, which exists to promote kosen-rufu and polish our faith, can be compared to a bridge which connects our lives with the lifeblood of faith, helping us attain enlightenment and absolute happiness.
One who leaves the organisation, however, thinking it fine to practise alone at his own convenience, tends to develop a self-righteous attitude in faith, which is distorted by personal views and biases.

青年よ座談会に勇んで集い合え
戸田先生は出席した座談会で青年部が活躍している姿を見ると、心から喜ばれた。
「ここの座談会は青年が集まる座談会だ！うれしい、うれしい！」
青年がいれば、皆がうれしい。多宝の友も、元気になる。
懸命に戦う青年ほど、美しいものはない。地域の方々にまで、さわやかな希望が広がる。
青年部は、わが地域の座談会に、勇んで集い合っていただきたい。婦人部も、壮年部も、応援をお願いします！
さあ新時代の2月闘争だ。青年部が座談会を軸にして、広宣流布を拡大する――戸田先生が、どれほど喜ばれるか。
そして３・１６「広宣流布記念の日」の50周年を、新しき師子の陣列で、晴れ晴れと迎えていただきたい。
昭和31年5月。私が指揮を執る大阪支部が「1万１１１１世帯」の大折伏を達成した。
戸田先生は、かつてない拡大を、こう讃えてくださった。
「この大阪の素晴らしい拡大の結果に学んで、他の地域でも、大阪のように座談会を主力にしてやろうという方針となった。その意気に燃え上がってきた所で、多くの弘教ができたのである」
常勝の歴史は、座談会によって築かれたのだ。
私は戸田先生の指導を、きちんと記録し、残してきた。
先生は強調された。
「座談会をやって、二人でも三人でもいれば、御本尊の話、学会の話をして、みな、感激に満ちて帰っていく。そこから、いまの組織が発祥し、できあがっていったのである」
戸田先生が拡大の中心軸に据えられたのは、座談会であった。
「われわれは最初、座談会をやったときは、一人か二人、あるいは三人のため、遠いところまで出かけたものである。その原点へもどって、まじめに、真剣に、会員を育ててもらいたい」
今年、座談会に出た人は？＜「ハイ」と全員から元気な返事が＞
座談会に行かなくなったら、もう折伏の陣列から離れてしまっている。
戦後、出獄された戸田先生は、「学会の再建にあたっては、座談会の復活が根本である」と一貫して訴えていかれた。
そして、こう言われていた。
「百万言の耳当たりのよい理論よりも、一つの座談会の実践のほうが、はるかに広宣流布の歯車を回すことになる」
多忙であっても、できるかぎり時間をこじあけて座談会に集い、広布の息吹を呼吸していくのだ。
「本当に正しい折伏の場は、創価学会の座談会以外に絶対にない」
「大聖人の仏法の座談会である。慈愛に）満ちあふれた、この世でいちばん楽しい会合であるべきだ」
この先生の叫びを心に刻みたい。
新時代第15回本部幹部会での名誉会長のスピーチ㊤（2008年2月13日聖教新聞掲載）
「ここの座談会は青年が集まる座談会だ！うれしい、うれしい！」
青年がいれば、皆がうれしい。多宝の友も、元気になる。
懸命に戦う青年ほど、美しいものはない。地域の方々にまで、さわやかな希望が広がる。
青年部は、わが地域の座談会に、勇んで集い合っていただきたい。婦人部も、壮年部も、応援をお願いします！
さあ新時代の2月闘争だ。青年部が座談会を軸にして、広宣流布を拡大する――戸田先生が、どれほど喜ばれるか。
そして３・１６「広宣流布記念の日」の50周年を、新しき師子の陣列で、晴れ晴れと迎えていただきたい。
昭和31年5月。私が指揮を執る大阪支部が「1万１１１１世帯」の大折伏を達成した。
戸田先生は、かつてない拡大を、こう讃えてくださった。
「この大阪の素晴らしい拡大の結果に学んで、他の地域でも、大阪のように座談会を主力にしてやろうという方針となった。その意気に燃え上がってきた所で、多くの弘教ができたのである」
常勝の歴史は、座談会によって築かれたのだ。
私は戸田先生の指導を、きちんと記録し、残してきた。
先生は強調された。
「座談会をやって、二人でも三人でもいれば、御本尊の話、学会の話をして、みな、感激に満ちて帰っていく。そこから、いまの組織が発祥し、できあがっていったのである」
戸田先生が拡大の中心軸に据えられたのは、座談会であった。
「われわれは最初、座談会をやったときは、一人か二人、あるいは三人のため、遠いところまで出かけたものである。その原点へもどって、まじめに、真剣に、会員を育ててもらいたい」
今年、座談会に出た人は？＜「ハイ」と全員から元気な返事が＞
座談会に行かなくなったら、もう折伏の陣列から離れてしまっている。
戦後、出獄された戸田先生は、「学会の再建にあたっては、座談会の復活が根本である」と一貫して訴えていかれた。
そして、こう言われていた。

折伏致使他人放棄錯誤的觀念, 並對自己膚淺的'生活方式產生懷疑.
折伏是一項崇高的行為, 它教導他人真正的人生方式, 指示一條永恆正確的幸福人生之道.
除此, 沒有比這更偉大或更慈悲的行為了.
Shakubuku enables others to give up their attachments to mistaken views, causing them to entertain doubts about their shallow way of living.
It is a noble act through which we teach others a true way of life and show them the eternal, correct course to a happy existence.
There is no greater or more deeply compassionate practice for a human being.

認真祈求是生命的韻律, 通過御本尊能使自身與宇宙的韻律冥合.
因而體驗功德, 並在生活中顯露才能, 這是與正確的祈求原理相一致的.
Earnest prayer becomes the rhythm of one's life, and through the Gohonzon, enables one to fuse with the rhythm of the universe.
As a result, one can experirnce benefit and manifest his capability in daily life, in accordance with the true principle of prayer.

我們的生命染有宿業與命運的污迹, 履以一層長久以來累積着的而未被消除的貪, 嗔, 痴, 慢, 疑.
不過, 當我們歸命御本尊時, 妙法將滲入我們的生命, 並排除不幸的泉源.
Our lives have been stained by karma and destiny from the past and encrusted with a layer of greed, anger, stupidity, arrogance and doubt, that has built up over a vast period of time without being cleaned away.
When we devote ourselves to the Gohonzon, however, the law of Myoho will function to penetrate our lives and clear away the source of unhappiness.

被宿命支配師最遺憾的.
不過, 當你繼續誠心地向御本尊唱題時, 你將能產生改善自身並建立一個朝向幸福人生的智慧.
這是同"以信代慧"的原理一致的.
To be swayed by one's destiny is most regrettable.
However, when you continue to chant daimoku to the Gohonzon sincerely, you will developthe wisdom to change yourself for the better and build a life that is directed towards happiness.
This is in accord with the principle of "substituting faith for wisdom"(ishin daie).

御書曰: "須成心之師, 勿以心為師."
與其以自身善變的"心"為本, 我們應該以基本的, 不變的妙法作為心之師.
這就是佛法重要的教義.
The gosho states, "Even if one should become the master of his mind, he should not make his mind the master of his life."
Instead of basing ourselves on our mind, which easily changes from moment to moment, we should make the fundamental, unchanging principle of Myoho the master of our mind.
This is the essential teaching of Buddhism.

如車之雙輪或鳥之雙翼, 題目應兼備信與行兩方面.
無疑地, 誠心向着御本尊唱題可得到功德.
但題目以外, 也應有正確的"行".
問題在於你是否能同樣地在廣宣流布上將自己奉獻於"行"這方面.
Your daimoku must include the two aspects of faith and practice, which are like the two wheels of a cart or the two wings of a bird.
Of course, it is important to chant daimoku to the Gohonzon with depth faith.
You will undoubtedly receieve benefit from doing so.
But it is also important that the daimoku you chant be accompanied by correct practice.
It is a question of whether you are equally devoted to practising for the sake of kosen-rufu.

無論你目前有多痛苦, 請確信, 有了御本尊, 你一定能在人生長遠的道路上累積福運, 獲得幸福, 榮耀與勝利.
因此我堅決地鼓勵你體會真正的信心在於無論如何都能貫徹佛道修行至臨終一刻.
No matter how much you may be suffering now, please be convinced that in the long run you will definitely accumulate great fortune, happiness, glory and victory in your life with the Gohonzon.
Therefore, I strongly encourage you to realise that true faith lies in carrying out your practice of true Buddhism until the last moment of your life, no matter what.

我們生於末法的五濁惡世, 對妙法的宣弘懷有熱忱的祈望.
大聖人曾說過"三障四魔競起, 賢者喜悅, 愚者退缩".
因為我們實踐信心, 因此障礙自然會出現.
如果我們以信心的立場來閱讀此段御文, 就會在生命深處感受到喜悅.
We were born onto the stage of this polluted world of the Latter Day of the Law, cherishing an earnest wish for the spread of Myoho.
The Daishonin stated, "The three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat."
Beacuse we practise faith, obstacles will naturally appear.
Then, if we read this passage from the standpoint of faith, we can feel joy in the depths of our lives.

信心是充實內心, 豐富智慧以及引向一個美滿生活的原動力, 從而為地域的繁榮作出貢獻.
名譽, 學歷或外表都不是幸福的保證.
最大的財富在所唱誦題目.
Faith is the source of power which enables one to become rich at heart, rich in wisdom and lead a prosperous daily life, thereby contributing to the prosperity of one's community.
Honour or fame in no way guarantees happiness.
Neither does academic achievement or physical appearance.
The greatest wealth lies in chanting daimoku.

當你不自惜身命, 持續一生的信心時, 你可以達到一生成佛.
那麼你能以跨越一世又一世的佛界為根本, 建立一個永不崩潰的"我".
如果你在半途放棄信心, 這個本應永遠發出光輝的佛界將被消滅.
When you persevere in faith throughout your life, without begrudging your life, you can attain Buddhahood in this lifetime.
Then you can build an etenally indestructible "self" based on the condition of Buddhahood that spans lifetime after lifetime.
If you give up your Buddhahood, which should shine on for eternity, will be extinguished.

儘管過去數年來, 為了廣宣流布而鞠躬盡瘁.
如果中途放棄信心, 那所完成的一切最終將功虧一簣.
事實上, 這就如一百乘以零等於零一般.
Regardless of the great pains which one may have taken for the sake of kosen-rufu over the course of many years, if at some point he abandons faith, everything that he has accomplished will in the end come to nothing.
In effect, it is like multiplying 100 by a factor of zero.

日蓮大聖人的佛法是"下種"佛法, 其目的是在眾生的生命中播種成佛的種子, 即南無妙法蓮華經.
這種是為全人類創造永恆, 不崩潰的幸福的基礎的基本因素.
Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism is the Buddhism of "sowing"; its purpose is to plant the seed of enlightment, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, in the lives of all people on earth.
Herein lies the fundamental cause to create the foundation of lasting, indestructible happiness for all people.

As followers of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, we must propagate the correct teachings and meaning of Buddhism with composure and compassion, untouched by anger or animosity, no matter what difficulty, insult or calumny we may face.
You should be convinced that only through your ceaseless effort of propagation will the world of Buddhahood, the life-condition of enlightenment, manifest itself within your life.

做任何事情都必須要有目標或目的.
若你在達成目標前就脫離軌道或半途而廢, 那麼, 無論你是如何認真地奮鬥, 你將無法感受完成任務的充實感.
In anything you do, you must have an objective or goal.
No matter how seriously you may strive to achieve it, if you deviate from that course or give up your effort halfway before you achieve the goal, you will never make the exuberant feeling of accomplishment your own.
