人們的信心來自持人以誠以及遵守信約的不斷努力中.
我們也必需激起一股強盛得足以耐心地了解他人的生命力.

People's trust is gained through constant efforts to be faithful and to keep promise.
We must also muster up a life-force great enough to comprehend others patiently.

今日指導 八月九日

對於我們所作的努力, 我們絕不應落到認為"自己無事可做"的地步.
相反地, 在修行方面持着"不遺餘力於廣宣流布"的決心, 是深厚信心的反映.

Concerning our endeavours, there should never come a point when we feel "there is nothing left for us to do."
To practise, instead, with the determination that "we will spare no effort for kosen-rufu" is a reflection of our deep faith.

真正的幸福並不存在於表面價值的追尋中.
你負有為21 世紀的世界承擔責任的重要使命.
因此, 你絕不應受制於膚淺的時代潮流, 你應傾全力扎下生命的基礎.

True happiness does not exist in the pursuit of superficial value.
You have an important mission to shoulder responsibility for the world in the 21st century.
Therefore, you should never be carried away by shallow trends of the times and you should exert yourselves to lay the foundation of your life.

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.

應跟隨社會條例與普通常識.
我們應該遵守社會的法律與條規, 身為本門佛法的信徒, 我們絕不應違反這類條例.

Social rules and common sense should be followed.
We should abide by the laws and rules of society, and as believers in true Buddhism, we should never break such rules.

信心包括深奧的功德與無量的福運; 它包含宇宙的偉大力量, 甚至改變所居住的土地.
信心是無限喜悅, 智慧和慈悲的泉源.
你們每一個人都已擁有這生活的無上營養.
你所需做的是獲取這無窮的力量.

Faith includes unfathomable benefit and limitless good fortune; it contains the great power of the universe, transforming even the land in which one lives.
Faith is the source of infinite joy, wisdom and compassion.
Each of you already possesses this supreme nourishment for life.
All that you have to do is to tap its limitless power.

在信心中, 人心是最重要的, 那些以一顆清純的心向社會的改進和諧地前進的人, 將在其生命中燦爛地閃耀一道美與希望的彩虹.

In faith, one's heart is of utmost importance.
A rainbow of beauty and hope shines splendidly in the lives of people who advance harmoniously for the betterment of society with a pure heart.

今日指導 八月三日

若你失去了清純的心而養成慢心與醜陋的野心.
那麼無論你表面上多麼勤勵於信心, 你絕不能享受到御本尊的功德.
因此, 當你為貴國奮鬥時, 我希望你能保持一顆青純的心而滿懷信心地渡過你最寶貴的人生.

Should you lose your pure, innocent heart, and instead develop arrogance and ugly ambition within yourself, no matter how much you may appear devoted to faith on the surface, you will never enjoy the benefits of the Gohonzon.
For this reason, I hope you will maintain a pure heart and live out your most precious existence confidently, as you strive for the sake of your country.

因此, 只要你本着強盛的信心, 傾全力在日常生活中取得成功, 且又貢獻社會, 你必定能明白人生的真正幸福, 將你的生命冠以永恆的榮譽與福運.

You are all important emissaries of the Buddha and the Buddha's children.
You are also brave followers of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, who were born here with the pledge to bring happiness to your country.

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.
