今日指導 七月三十一日

成為王道之人, 勿為霸道之人.
成為民眾之領導者, 勿為權力之工具.
成為大眾之友, 勿為財之奴棣.
成為善之智者, 勿為狡猾邪惡之人.

Be a man of right, never one of might.
Be a leader of the people, never the tool of authority.
Be the friend of the masses, never the slave of wealth.
Be a wise man of good, never a cunning evil one.

今日指導 七月三十日

在人生中擁有一位師匠, 是幸福與大喜悅的泉源.
師弟之間的深厚關係不易為他人所了解.
縱然自己察覺不到, 但當你自豪地追尋自己所選擇的師弟之道時, 美與高尚的情操當自你生命深處發出光芒.

In life, having a master is a source of happiness and great joy.
The deep relationship between master and disciple is not 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.

今日指導 七月二十九日

縱使在逆境中亦有希望存在.
事實上, 只有在經歷逆境的考驗時, 希望才真正地得以鞏固.
缺乏考驗的希望往往只是飛逝, 空幻的夢.

Hope exists even in the midst of adversity.
In fact, only when you undergo the ordeals of adversity will your hope be truly fortified.
Hope without ordeal is often nothing more than fleeting, idealistic dreams.

今日指導 七月二十八日

只有以大量誠懇的題目, 以及為他人和廣宣流布所採取的勇敢行動支持着的信心, 才可說是完美的信心.
在這種意義上, 我要你確信, 你日夜為他人的幸福而努力活動, 正與佛法崇高與普遍的原理一致.

One's faith can be said to be perfect only when it is supported with sincere abundant daimoku and courageous action for others and kosen-rufu.
In this sense I want you to be deeply convinced that your day-and-night efforts in activities for the happiness of others are exactly in tune with the supreme and universal of Buddhism.

今日指導 七月二十七日

受日蓮大聖人稱讚是最高的榮譽, 也是幸福的根源, 而受愚者稱譽是最不值得尊敬的事.
你是否應得到日蓮大聖人的稱讚, 則關係到你的信心本質.

To be praised by Nichiren Daishonin is the greatest honour and cause for happiness.
Being praised by the foolish is the least respectable thing.
The question of whether or not you deserve Nichiren Daishonin's praise relates to the essence of your faith.

今日指導 七月二十六日

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.

時間是平均地分配給每一個人的.
因此, 能夠建立一個光榮, 勝利與幸福的人生, 在於你是否能有意義地而毫不後悔地利用你的時間.

Time is given equally to everyone.
Therefore, being able to build a life of glory, victory and happiness depends on whether you spend your time meaningfully and free of regret.

今日指導 七月二十三日

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.

今日指導 七月二十二日

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.

除非一個人的信心純淨到底, 否則他將無法鍛鍊出與無情, 邪惡的力量鬥爭時所需的強盛生命力.
這是成長最重要和決定性的一點.
請永遠牢記.

Unless one's faith is pure to the core, he will not be able to cultivate the strong life-force needed to battle with unrelenting devilish forces.
This is the most important and crucial point for your development.
Please remember it always.

今日指導 七月二十日

人人都有不同的使命以待完成, 也有他們必須居住的不同地方以完成使命.
一名在與現實掙扎而又決定牢固地在其地域確立自己並繼續以堅毅不拔之心與希望前進的人, 是人生的勝利者.
你可通過信心將所居之土轉為勝利與幸福之土.

People have different missions to fulfill and different places where they must live to fulfil them.
The person who decides to establish himself firmly in his community and who continues to advance with perseverance and hope while struggling with reality will be a victor in life.
Through faith, you can transform the land where you live into a land of victory and happiness.

今日指導 七月十九日

傲慢是可怕的.
人類往往毀於自滿和急躁中.
他們自滿且無法贏取周圍人士的信賴.

Arrogance is fearful.
Human beings are often brought to ruin by pride and impatience.
They are self-complacent and unable to win the trust of those around them.

今日指導 七月十八日

沒有努力就不會有希望的存在.
不遺餘力的人必定能打開一條光榮的未來之道.

Hope cannot exist without effort.
One who spares no effort will without fail be able to open the way to a glorious future.

今日指導 七月十七日

相信妙法就是對自己有極度的信心.
這是相信一切眾生的佛性, 即公正地對待每一個人.
同時, 也意味着相信因果的絕對法則.
貫徹這樣的信心姿態, 能使你鍛鍊出偉大的品格.

To believe in the Mystic Law is to have utmost faith in yourself.
It is to believe in the Buddha nature of all living beings; that is to regard all people with impartiality.
It also means to believe in the absolute law of cause and effect.
Carrying through with this attitude in faith enables you to develop great character.

Those who ceaselessly advance are full of fresh vitality and walk the path leading to lives filled with happiness.

今日指導 七月十四日

當一架飛機起飛時, 無論遇到如何惡劣的氣候或湍流, 它都必須繼續飛行, 直至平安的降陸為止.
同樣的原理也適用在我們信心上.
我們必須以不變的熱忱及奉獻, 持續信與行, 直至我們到達成佛的終極目標.

Once an airplane takes off, it must continue flying, no matter what bad weather or turbulence it encounters, until it lands safely.
The same principle applies to our faith.
We must continue our faith and practice with unchanging enthusiasm and dedication until we arrive at our final goal of enlightenment.
