最重要的是, 你是否能在臨終時, 享有安寧與不受束縛的生命境涯, 使你確信自己並沒留下未完成的工作, 也絲毫不感到後悔.
同時, 確信你已在人生中獲勝而且獲的最大的滿足感--這是一生成佛的實証.
What matters most is whether or not, at the end of your life, you can enjoy a peaceful and unbounded condition which enables you to say with confidence that you have left nothing undone and have not a single regret, that you have won in life and are filled with the deepest possible satisfaction--the proof of attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime.

在任何一種事業中, 先驅者都會遭到批評.
只要忍受得了這種批評, 他們便能證明自己努力的價值所在.

In any endeavour, pioneers are subject to criticism.
They will prove the value of their effort as they withstand such criticism.

表面上看來, 一個人似乎身受深重的宿業果報.
不過, 當我們以強盛的信心與三世永恆的生命觀看待事物時, 就可明白依據"轉重輕受"的原理, 這其實是以較輕的形式承受宿業果報.
受持妙法, 並喜悅地促進廣宣流布活動的人是絕不會感到不快樂的.
On the surface, one may appear to be suffering form the effects of heavy karma.
However, when we view things form the standpoint of strong faith and the eternal perspective of past, present and future, one will realise that he is presently receiving the effects of his past karma in a much lightened form, in accord with the principle of "lessening one's karmic retribution" (tenju kyoju).
One who embraces the law of Myoho, and joyfully promotes activities for kosen-rufu, will absolutely never be unhappy.

生活對任何人來說都不是容易的.
你或許會置身暴風雨中, 或被障礙之巨浪所動搖.
這對奮力達成前所未有的廣宣流布大業的我們而言, 尤是如此.
因此, 千萬不應被任何困難沖走, 或在面臨任何危機是退缩.
Life is not easy for anyone.
One may be exposed to violent storms or shaken by a high tide of obstacles.
This is especially so for us, who are striving to accomplish the unprecedented task of kosen-rufu.
Therefore, you should never be swept away by any hardship or retreat in the face of any crisis.

信心本身是無形的.
可是信心必會以有行的語言和行動顯現出來.
從而大大地影響環境.
同時, 無論什情况, 你非勝即敗.
身為佛教徒, 你必須在每一次的奮鬥中勝利.
持着御本尊的信心能使你做到這點.
Faith itself is invisible.
However, faith is bound to manifest in a tangible form as words ans deeds, thereby greatly affecting the environment.
At the same time, no matter what circumstance you face, you either win or lose.
As a Buddhist, you must win each struggle in which you are engaged.
And faith in the Gohonzon enables you to do so.

在我們佛道修行的過程中肯定會出現許多障礙, 它們之所以發生是在於我們宣弘正法所付出的努力之故.
許多阻擋我們的困難, 其實是在考驗我們的信心是否堅強得足以讓我們今生成佛.
Surely, many obstacles will arise in the course of our Buddhist practice.
They occur because of our efforts to propagate the True Law.
Many difficulties that stand in our way actually serve to test whether or not our faith is strong enough to enable us to reach enlightenment in this lifetime.

我們是佛教徒, 也是平民及社會的一份子.
所以, 我們要努力做個優秀公民, 對社會作出的貢獻要比其他人來的多.
然而, 身為佛教徒, 我們最基本上必須明白到自己就是地涌菩薩的眷屬.
因此, 為了人民及實現和平, 我們應在余暇致力於廣宣流布的活動和本門佛法的宣弘.
最重要的是要具有深厚的使命感.
We are Buddhist, but we are also ordinary citizen and members of society.
So, we strive to be excellent citizens who contribute to society more than others.
However, as Buddhists, our most fundamental understanding should be that we are followers of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth.
As such, we should dedicate ourselves in our spare time to kosen-rufu activities and to the propagation of true Buddhism, in order to realise peace and for the sake of people.
The important thing is to have a deep sense of mission.
