今日指導 五月十三日

宿業苦, 憂傷與悲哀常在生命中留下污迹並沉澱其中, 形成一種愈益苦惱的傾向性.
如果胸中的黃金被污泥包住就無法看出其光芒.
然而通過信心, 可去除業苦的污泥, 使自身的佛界發出光輝.

Karmic suffering, grief and sorrow ordinarily leave their stains and residue in the mind, creating a tendency towards further anguish.
If the gold in one's heart is encased in mud, its radiance cannot be seen.
Through karmic suffering and allow the light of his inherent Buddhahood to shine forth.

今日指導 五月十二日

人生可謂一場與病魔間的長期戰鬥.
在人生的途中被病痛擊倒是很不幸的.
人生是一段克服病痛, 保持健康與長壽的掙扎.
這個根本的力量來自妙法與我們對妙法的信心.

Life must be called a perpetual battle with the demon of sickness.
It is miserable to be stuck down halfway through life by the suffering of illness.

行學乃車之雙輪, 信心乃車之樞軸.

為了成佛與廣宣流布而歸命于御本尊及精進地修行, 無疑地, 會使人能夠真正地愛護他人而別人也會反過來感受其過人之處.

今日指導 五月二日

有些人為了本身的問題和痛苦而以埋怨與申訴渡過一生.
有些則開朗和喜悅地過活.
你所處的環境是"地與"或"樂土"全在於你的一念.
同時, 信心的一念也可以將痛苦轉為快樂.

Some people spend their lives grumbling or complaining about their problems and sufferings.

今日指導 四月十五日

佛法是道理.
即是受持了御本尊, 若沒有耕耘就無法進步.
更確實地說, 由於你信受這個信仰, 你應該加倍努力.

Buddhism is reason, and even though you may embrace faith in the Gohonzon, you cannot progress without making effort.
Rather, because you practise this faith you should redouble your efforts all the more.

星期一, 4月 14, 2008

今日指導 四月十四日

通過一生正確地受持御本尊, 我們可在生生世世湧現最高的生命境涯--佛界.
為了得到這類功德, 受持御本尊是我們必須遵守的唯一戒條.
在佛法上, 這是稱為"金剛寶器戒", 一個如鑽石般不可能破損的戒條.

By correctly embracing the Gohonzon throughout our lives, we can manifest Buddhahood, the supreme condition of life, in lifetime after lifetime.
In order to receive such benefit, to embrace the Gohonzon is the single precept that we must observe.
This is termed in Buddhism the precept of the diamond chalice, a precept which, like diamond chalice, a precept which, like diamond, is impossible to break.

今日指導 四月十三日

A person who lives his life to fulfil his own mission, whether in a remote region or in some inconspicuous field of society, is the most valuable person.

今日指導 四月十日

勿論教育水平的高低, 學術工作的成就, 或教育地位的高低, 你都應該向真正的有深厚信心的人學習關於信心的事.
嘗試以自己的觀點, 了解信心是非常危險的.

Irrespective of your level of erudition, the brilliances of your academic career or the height of your social status, you should learn about matters of faith from someone who has truly deep faith.
Trying to understand faith based on your own views is extremely risky.

星期三, 4月 09, 2008

今日指導 四月九日

題目的唱誦是使生命富有生氣與蘇生的原動力, 不斷地使之得到推動.

在信心方面, 我們切不可因懦弱而動搖.
那些因世俗的榮耀於痛苦等八風而離開正確的信念之道, 並且放棄信心的人, 絕不能稱為地涌菩薩之眷屬.

In faith, one must not be swayed by cowardice.
Those who are shaken form the correct path of belief by eight winds of worldly glories and sufferings and abandon faith can in no way be called followers of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth.

星期一, 4月 07, 2008

今日指導 四月七日

若你是地涌菩薩之眷屬, 你首先必須對信仰持有堅定的決心.
你必須披上忍辱之盔甲一鞏固你的信心, 從而忍受必定會面對的困難的襲擊。

Above all, if you are a follower of the resolve in faith.
You must fortify your heart with the armour of forbearance to endure the onslaught of difficulties which we are bound to face.

今日指導 四月六日

青年絕不應受膚淺的名譽或物質上的貪欲所牽制.
青年不應擁有老練的心境, 狡猾地設法將艱難的工作推給他人, 並一味追求個人的利益.
正義, 勇氣和熱忱構成了青年的血脈特權.

Youth should never be swept away by superficial fame or materialistic greed.
Youth should not have the mind of an old man who cunningly manages to pass hard work on to others and seeks only personal gain.
Justice, courage and passion constitute the life blood and privilege of youth.

星期六, 4月 05, 2008

今日指導 四月五日

在生活中, 人與人之間的接觸是十分重要的.
在某種意義上, 生命是與許多人接觸的延續.
在許許多多的接觸中, 有者隨着時間而被遺忘, 有者則立刻成為改變人生的推動力.
因此, 我們應該極端重視人與人的接觸.

Meeting between people are very important in life.
In a sense, life is a succession of meeting with many individuals.
Some meeting will be forgotten as time passes, but some can instantly become an impetus to change your life.
Therefore, we should always try to attach the utmost importance when meeting with people.

今日指導 四月四日

妒嫉是最醜陋的一種情感, 它造成人們脫離正軌並導致他們走向滅亡.

有福運的人將能攀上人生的成功之梯.
正如一個被風鼓動得強勁地升上天空的風箏一般.
不過, 一旦福運耗盡時, 他將開始從不幸的斜坡摔下來.
正確的信心是使你累積無窮福運與功德的推動力.

Someone with good fortune will climb the ladder of success in life just as a kite filled with wind vigorously rises into the sky.
However, once one's good fortune becomes exhausted, he will begin to tumble down the slope of misfortune.
Correct faith is the driving force that enables you to accumulate unlimited fortune and benefit.

對受持妙法的人而言, 面對與克服大難, 能使惡業湧現, 並被消除.

We should have absolute confidence in the great power of the Gohonzon which enables us to definitely overcome whatever obstacle we may encounter.

星期二, 4月 01, 2008

今日指導 四月一日

一個只會向眾人發號施令的人並不是偉大的指導者.
偉大的指導者意指於幕後勤勵工作, 而將他人置於台前, 受人注目的人.

One is not a great leader merely because he gives orders to many people.
A great leader means somebody who works hard behind the scenes and puts others in the limelight.

星期一, 3月 31, 2008

今日指導 三月三十一日

在人生漫長的旅途上, 有時你可能發覺自己陷於工作, 學校或日常事物的僵局.
不過, 這些都是日常生活與社會現象, 與信心的程度不同, 本身並非信心的精華.
因此, 你絕不能容許自己被這類表面的事物所動搖而冒着完全喪失信心的危險.

Over the long course of your life, you may at times find yourself in a deadlock at work, at school or in your daily affairs.
However, these are phenomena of daily life and society which lie on a different plane than faith and are not themselves the essence of faith.
Therefore, you must never allow yourself to be swayed by such superficial matters and risk losing your faith entirely.

星期六, 3月 29, 2008

今日指導 三月三十日

信心並非只是一個抽象的觀念.
信心是必須通過實踐才可以成長的.
為了要通過行動掌握信心, 個人必須以身實踐御書教導.
因此, 如果無法將御書的教導由信心的立場實踐的話, 那麼就無法真正地稱為強盛的信心.

Faith is not just an abstract idea.
It is something you should develop through practice.
In order to master faith through action, one must practise as the gosho teaches.
Therefore, if one cannot put into action the lessons taught in the gosho, applying them from the standpoint of faith, then one's faith cannot truly be called deep.

今日指導 三月二十九日

功德或處罰歸根究底決定於自身的修行.
是喜悅, 煩惱或痛苦, 只有自己最清楚, 沒有其他人可告訴你.
生命內奧的幸福之感源自自己的胸中.

Although some may speak of "benefit" or "punishment ," these things are ultimately determined by one's own practice.
You know better than anyone whether you are feeling joy or pain, or suffering.
No one else can tell you these things.
A deep sense of happiness can be found nowhere but within your own heart.

深化"信心的根"是很重要的, 如果你的信心根深蒂固, 那你絕不會被人生諸行無常的風吹倒.
完滿充實的"枝椏"將會生長, 宿命轉換, 朝成佛的"果實"將會成熟.
信心上所累積的種種經驗, 加上日日的佛道修行與努力, 將能滋養信心的根, 使之延伸並深化.

It is vital to deepen your "roots of faith."
If you the roots of your faith are deep, you will never be toppled by the winds of impermanence.
The "branches" of complete fulfillment will then grow, and the "fruit" of your change in destiny towards the attainment of Buddhahood will ripen.
The accumulation of many experiences in faith, along with your daily practice and effort, will nourish the roots of your faith and allow them to spread and deepen.

無論你有多忙碌, 或在理解方面有多困難, 學習御書的努力便是求道心的表現.
無論你是否了解御書, 我希望你能日日努力拜讀至少一段或一句御文.

Your efforts to study the gosho, no matter how busy your schedule or how difficult it may be to understand, are an expression of your seeking mind.
Whether you understand it or not.
I hope you will make an effort to read at least one passage or phrase of the gosho daily.

今日指導 三月二十三日

御書曰:"妙為開之意", "妙為蘇生之意".
信心能將一切困難與痛苦化為幸福, 喜悅與希望, 給予我們新的活力.
根據"以信代慧"的原理, 我們可以湧現潛伏於生命裡基本的智慧.

The gosho states, "Myo means to open," and "Myo means to revitalize."
Faith opens the way for changing all problems and suffering into happiness, joy and hope, giving us fresh vitality.
Based on the principle of "substituting faith for wisdom," we can unlock the essential wisdom we possess within us.

星期六, 3月 22, 2008

今日指導 三月二十二日

有些人似乎只活躍片刻, 最終卻在廣宣流布的活動中消失了.
這些人幾乎毫無例外地忽略勤行的日常修行.
忽略勤行的人最終將會失去掌握信心或接受指導的能力, 無論這些指導有多偉大.

Some people seem to be active for awhile, but eventually disappear from our movement for kosen-rufu.
Almost without exception, such people are negligent in their daily practice of gongyo.
Those who neglect doing gongyo will eventually lose their ability to grasp any points of faith or to accept guidance, no matter how great it may be.

星期五, 3月 21, 2008

今日指導 三月二十一日

只要我們對御本尊持續強盛的信心, 我們對人生就有心的看法, 能夠以清新的活力行動, 克服一切困難.
我們應切記信心的原點是以萬難都能克服的深厚確信貫徹一生.

As long as we maintain strong faith in the Gohonzon, we can always act with fresh vitality and overcome every difficulty as we gain a new outlook on life.
We should remember that the prime point of faith is to live our entire lives with the deep conviction that no deadlock is impossible to surmount.

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.

御書說及: "地獄之苦將即刻消除."

請保持着這一個確信, 繼續多唱題目, 經常以清純, 精進的信心向前跨越另一步.

The gosho states, "the suffering of hell will vanish instantly."
So long as you have ever-advancing faith, you will definitely erase your evil karma, change your destiny and enter a state of life in which all your desires are unmistakably fulfilled.
Confident in this, please continue to chant abundant daimoku, always advancing another step with pure and gallant faith.

身為本佛日蓮大聖人的弟子, 我們誕生於這世上以履行廣宣流布的誓言.
身為佛教徒而為眾生的幸福努力是我們自然的責任.
日常活動的目的在於我們如何為那些受苦的人盡心盡力.

We were born into this world as disciples of the true Buddha, Nichiren Daishonin, to fulfil our pledge for kosen-rufu.
It is our natural responsibility as Buddhists to work for the happiness of many people.
The purpose of our daily activities lies in how we can exert ourselves for the sake of those who are suffering.

今日指導 三月十六日

御本尊絕不會為遺棄那些將自己奉獻於廣宣流布的人.
這些人必定會受到御本尊的稱讚與諸天善神的佑護.

The Gohonzon will never forsake those who dedicate themselves to kosen-rufu.
Such people will definitely be praised by the Gohonzon and receive the protection of the Buddhist gods.

今日指導 三月十五日

身為地涌菩薩的眷屬, 我們為妙法的廣宣流布而立起奮鬥.
因此, 只要信心是真誠的, 行動是真心的, 必會受到御本尊的佑護.
這些具有清純信心為廣宣流布活動的可貴人士, 絕對能受到御本尊的佑護.

As followers of the Budhisattvas of the Earth, we have stood up to fight for the kosen-rufu of Myoho, or the Mystic Law.
Therefore, as long as your faith is sincere and your actions are true, the Gohonzon will definitely protect you.
Such precious individuals of pure faith, who act for the sake of kosen-rufu, can never fail to receive the Gohonzon's protection.

星期五, 3月 14, 2008

今日指導 三月十四日

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.

星期四, 3月 13, 2008

今日指導 三月十三日

我們的信力與行力使我們獲取御本尊絕對與無邊無量的佛力與法力.
在這一層關係上, 你誠懇與強盛的信心是最重要的.
因此, 我們應該在一生中保持永遠前進的信心與修行.

It is our power of faith and power of practice that enables us to tap the absolute and boundless power of the Buddha and power of the Law in the Gohonzon.
In this connection, your sincere, strong faith is most important.
Therefore, we should maintain ever-advancing faith and practice throughout life.

星期三, 3月 12, 2008

今日指導 三月十二日

負有職責的人須相應地深化信心, 愛惜, 維護及引導他人, 並在自身成長方面向前躍進一步.
這是很重要的.
要記得因為有先輩在旁, 所以才能夠打開自己信心的視野.

It is vital that those in positions of responsibility proportionately deepen their faith; love, protect and guide others; and strive to progress one step further in their personal development.
Remember that because you had seniors, you yourself were able to open your eyes to faith.

星期二, 3月 11, 2008

今日指導 三月十一日

學會的精神是守護御本尊, 是向御本尊祈求, 推進信心的精神.
是折伏的精神.
是朝向廣宣流布無數挑戰的精神.
是面對任何困難都不退缩的精神.

The Gakkai spirit is the spirit to protect Gohonzon, to pray to it, and to propagate faith in it.
It is the spirit to shakubuku.
It is the spirit of unlimited challenge towards kosen-rufu.
It is the spirit not to retreat in the face of any difficulty.

星期一, 3月 10, 2008

今日指導 三月十日

持着"我一定要轉換宿命"以及"我的祈求必定會實現"的堅強一念, 每天向着御本尊許下清新的祈願並且讓生命的每一頁綴以勝利的美好現証.

Determined that "I will change my destiny" and " I will have my prayers fulfilled," please offer fresh prayers to the Gohonzon everyday and adorn each page of your life with beautiful actual proof of victory.

星期日, 3月 09, 2008

今日指導 三月九日

即使你在人生與信心修行的道路上面對種種不幸的事情, 通過強盛的信心而得到現証能使你確信佛法的力量, 從而對人生充滿希望與勇氣.
這將使你朝着以妙法為本的永恆, 真正的幸福之道前進.

Even if you may have suffered from unfortunate circumstances in the course of your life and practice of faith , the actual proof you see as a result of your strong faith will leave you clearly convinced of the power of Buddhism, giving rise to hope and courage in life.
This, in turn, will enable you to advance on a course towards lasting, genuine happiness based on the law of Myoho.

今日指導 三月八日

無論面對什麼情況, 一個以勇氣不斷地唱誦南無妙法蓮華經的人, 將能因法力和信力的關係而湧現佛界並與常樂我淨的宇宙韻律一支.
這是佛道修行的原因.
除了通過佛法的修行可達到一個不崩潰的生命境涯外, 被無其他的方法.

A person who constantly chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with courage, no matter what circumstances he may face, will be able to manifest Buddhahood and live in accordance with the universal rhythm of eternity, happiness, true self and purity (jo raku ga jo), due to the power of the law and the power of faith.
This is the reason for our Buddhist practice.
There is no other way to realise a life-condition as indestructible as that which we can attain through the practice of Buddhism.

今日指導 三月七日

在戰役中持續地前進並不常是明智的.
有時, 你可能需要撤退.
重要的是, 即使你時而退後一步, 你仍繼續盡力而為.

It is not always wise to continually advance in a battle.
At certain times, you may have to retreat.
What is important is to continue to do your best, even though at times you may have to take a step back.

今日指導 三月五日

那些入信而又不遵從本門佛法教義的人, 其罪業之深重將遠遠超越那些一開始便磅法的人.

The offence of those who disobey the teachings of true Buddhism while embracing faith is far greater even than the offence of those who slander the True Law from the outset.

星期二, 3月 04, 2008

今日指導 三月四日

妙法是永恆的.
它具有無窮的力量.
因此, 以妙法的正確信心為本就好比擁有一架力量無窮的引擎.
唯有通過作為宇宙的根本法則而永遠存在的妙法, 才能真正地本着宇宙本身永恆, 無窮的力量建立一個正確, 安穩的人生.

The Law of Myoho is eternal.
It is possesses infinite power.
Therefore, basing oneself on correct faith in the Law of Myoho is like having an engine with infinite power.
Only through Myoho, which exists forever as the fundamental law of the universe, can one surely construct a correct and secure course in life based on the eternal boundless power of the universe itself.

星期一, 3月 03, 2008

今日指導 三月三日

你今日的目標是什麼?
持着明確的目標在你的修行中穩健地前進, 一切的怨嫉將會消失.

What is your goal today?
Advance steadily in your practice with your targets clear in mind, and all your complaints and onshitsu will vanish.

今日指導 三月二日

信心即實踐.
因此, 通過行動所表達的信心與佛意相符合.
實踐學會活動的行動是真正的佛道修行, 這將致使大功德之花盛開.

Faith equals practice.
Therefore, it is faith expressed through action that is in accord with the Buddha's will.
The actions one takes in carrying out Gakkai activities are the true Buddhist practice and will lead to the flowering of great benefit.

星期六, 3月 01, 2008

今日指導 三月一日

無論發生什麼事, 你一定要日日實踐勤行與唱題的修行.
勤行與唱題使生命內奧產生一股生氣勃勃和堅強的生命力, 給予你解決人生苦難的力量.
因此, 你絕不應藉口太忙或太累而忽略勤行.
絕對不可切斷信心的"電源".

No matter what happens, you must carry out the practice of gongyo and chant daimoku everyday.
Doing gongyo and chanting daimoku give rise to a bright and vibrant life-force from the depths of your life, giving you the power to resolve life difficulties.
Therefore, you should never neglect gongyo on account of too busy or to tired.
Never "pull the plug" of your faith.

今日指導 二月二十九日

只要你信心和活動方面都很認真, 一切將會成為福運與功德.
絕對不可讓埋怨和牢騷導致你捨棄自己的信心.
勝負自會在10年或20年後分曉.

To the extent that one is earnest in his faith and activities, everything will become his faith and activities, everything will become his good fortune and benefit.
Don't let grumbling or complaints lead you to abandon your faith.
Whether you gain or lose will become clear ten or twenty years down the line.

今日指導 二月二十八日

我誠懇希望你能勇猛精進.
在家庭, 地域與社會中, 勇氣對個人信心的修行是有必要的.
此外, 只有勇猛的信心才有助於證明我們的正義.

I sincerely hope you will advance with courage.
Courage is necessary in an individual's practice of faith in the family, in the community and in society as a whole.
Furthermore, only courageous faith is instrumental in proving our justice.

今日指導 二月二十七日

佛道修行與推進廣宣流布的真正舞台就是在自己的工作崗位上, 社區或簡言之, 是目前所處的地方.
請確信這個地方就是你要為廣宣流布以及自身成佛而必須奮力的場所.

The true stage of your Buddhist practice and action for kosen-rufu is none other than your place of work, your community, or, in short, the place where you exist right now.
Please have deep conviction that right here is the place where you must exert yourself for the sake of kosen-rufu and for your own enlightenment.

今日指導 二月二十六日

單單將"信心"掛在口上是很容易的, 然而, 將信心付諸於行動卻很困難.
不過, 學會的活動是富有意義的, 它讓我們共同奮鬥, 不斷地鞏固我們的信心並互相激勵向上.
這是組織的目的以及異體同心的根本.

It is easy to simply parrot the word " faith."
However, putting faith into practice is difficult.
The activities of the Gakkai are significant, however, in that they allow us to strive together to continually solidify our faith and to help one another improve.
This is the purpose of our organisation and the basis of unity of itai doshin.

星期一, 2月 25, 2008

今日指導 二月二十五日

請了解你以信心為本的勤行與不懈的廣布活動最終會以福運與功德回歸於你.
這是大聖人佛法的本質.

Please understand that your daily practice of gongyo and your continuous activities for kosen-rufu, based upon faith, ultimately return to you as fortune and benefit.
This is the nature of the Daishonin's Buddhism.

星期日, 2月 24, 2008

今日指導 二月二十四日

斷絕怨嫉的產生.
它是你的敵人並阻擋通往功德的道路.
讓我們使每一個人以清新, 誠懇並與御本尊直接聯繫的信心實現所有的意願.

Put an end to onshitsu.
It is your enemy and stand in the way of benefit.
Let's enable everyone to fulfil all their desires with fresh, honest faith linked directly to the Gohonzon.

今日指導 二月二十三日

妙法是具有絕對力量的偉大法則.
缺乏力量的人無法真正地感受到快樂或將他人從痛苦中挽救出來.
只有通過信心才可獲得妙法的力量, 因此, 你應該一刻也絕不退轉地懷着希望與勇氣實踐信心.

Myoho is a great law or principle that possesses absolute power.
One who lacks power cannot be truly happy, or save others from suffering.
Only through faith can one obtain this absolute power of Myoho.
Therefore, you should carry out faith with hope and courage, never regressing even for a moment.

今日指導 二月二十二日

任何問題或痛苦都能以信心解決.
如果你的信心脆弱, 那麼痛苦將轉為抱怨與批評, 也將會使自己的功德消失無蹤.
信心帶來最高價值與最大滿足的人生.
在你建設一個具足功德的充實人生時, 千萬不可忘記"信心"二字的重要性.

Any difficult problem or suffering can be solved with faith.
If your faith becomes weak, then suffering will turn into complaint and criticism, and your will destroy the source of benefit in your life.
Faith gives rise to a life of the highest value and greatest satisfaction.
Never forget the importance of the world "faith" as you build a life of a total fulfillment which is overflowing with benefit.

星期一, 2月 18, 2008

今日指導 二月二十一日

信心有強弱深淺之分.
只有通過根深蒂固的信心, 才可醖釀大歡喜與大確信.
同時也能以此信心使一生發出光芒.

Faith can be either strong or week, deep or shallow.
Only through strong, deep faith can one develop great joy and great confidence.
He can also make himself shine throughout his life with such faith.

今日指導 二月二十日

一生慣徹信心到底.
因為信心的目的是要達到一生成佛, 只有一生貫徹信心, 才可以說是在正確地修行.
如果在半途退轉, 就不能算是真實的信心.

Maintain your faith throughout your life.
Beacuse the purpose of faith is to attain enlightenment in this lifetime, you can declare that you have practised faith correctly only when you have carried it out throughout your life.
If you should backslide halfway, you can by no means say that your faith was genuine.

今日指導 二月十九日

求道心代表行動.
受持御本尊, 勤行和唱題都是表現求道心的行動.
再者, 拜讀御書, 參加大小型的會議以及接受指導, 同樣的都是求道心的表現.

A seeking spirit means taking action.
Embracing the Gohonzon, doing gongyo and chanting daimoku to the Gonhonzon are all action which reflect one's seeking mind.
Moreover, reading the gosho, attending meeting, whether larger or small, and receiving guidance are, in a similar sense, expressions of one's seeking spirit.

今日指導 二月十八日

推進廣宣流布乃佛敕佛意, 也是最大的榮譽.
請確信這樣的做法將為你帶來永恆的福運.

To promote the cause of kosen-rufu, which is the Buddha's will, is in itself the greatest glory and honour.
Please be confident that doing so will lead to your eternal good fortune.

星期六, 2月 16, 2008

今日指導 二月十七日

如果忘記拜讀御書, 那麼你的實踐與指導就會傾向理想主義, 並開始反映自己的觀點.
在這方面, 讓我們誠懇地互相檢查以免大家的努力付諸流水.
切記我們可在御書中找到任何問題的解決方法及信心的基本原理.

If you forget to read the gosho, then your practice and guidance will tend towards idealism, beginning to reflect your own personal views.
Let us sincerely check each other in this regard so that we do not waste our efforts.
Please bear in mind that within the gosho you can find the way to solve any problem, as well as the fundamental principle of faith.

今日指導 二月十六日

要一人立起.
絕對不可被習慣驅使着.
每個人都必須建立一個堅固的中心体.

Stand alone.
Never be swept up along by force of habit.
Build a solid core in each individual.

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)

今日指導 二月十五日

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.

星期四, 2月 14, 2008

今日指導 二月十四日

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.

星期三, 2月 13, 2008

今日指導 二月十三日

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.

星期二, 2月 12, 2008

今日指導 二月十二日

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).

星期一, 2月 11, 2008

今日指導 二月十一日

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.

今日指導 二月十日

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.
