Nichiren Daishonin`s Buddhism enables us to free ourselves from the sufferings of birth and death. But to achieve this we must “perceive the mystic truth that is originally inherent in all living beings.” This means tapping the limitless power of the Mystic Law inherent in our lives. This is the passage in which the Daishonin says this,
“If you wish to free yourself from the sufferings of birth and death you have endured since time without beginning and to attain without fail unsurpassed enlightenment in this lifetime, you must perceive the mystic truth that is originally inherent in all living beings. This truth is Myoho-renge-kyo. Chanting Myoho-renge-kyo will therefore enable you to grasp the mystic truth innate in all life”. (WND, 3)
When we are able to do this infinite power wells from our finite existence. As a result we are able to break through any deadlock. We can’t put the blame on others. Everything comes back to us.
The life-state of someone who has attained Buddhahood can be described as one of ‘great hope’. This great hope stems from inner confidence in one’s ability to attain Buddhahood and one’s grasp of the meaning of life, as well as conviction in the inherent ability of all people to become enlightened. Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism teaches that the purpose of life is to attain Buddhahood in this lifetime. This takes place in the midst of our day to day reality where Buddhism truly equals daily life. He writes:
“A person of wisdom is not one who practices Buddhism apart from worldly affairs but, rather one who thoroughly understands the principles by which the world is governed” (WND p1121)
In other words, to practise Buddhism means to value society; it means to contribute and work for society`s benefit. This too is what it means to say that `Buddhism equals daily life.

Daily life and chanting
Many of us may have been conditioned during our upbringing to see things to do with a religion or a teaching primarily in spiritual terms so that a distorted view of Buddhism as being `other worldly` is formed. Yet Nichiren Daishonin`s Buddhism teaches that the spiritual and physical/material aspects of life are inextricably linked. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and practising Nichiren Daishonin`s Buddhism, in the face of day to day realities with its ups and downs, gives us a powerful means to draw out our Buddhahood. We find the key to our happiness in the middle of our daily lives! This is one meaning of `Buddhism equals daily life`.
Nichiren Daishonin`s Buddhism does not simply provide a means to view the world in a theoretical way. It is not as if by coming to understand about the ten worlds, or cause and effect that we just have a new pair of glasses through which to look at the world. It is much, much more than this.
In a letter called The Gift of Rice Nichiren Daishonin says, …”in the end secular matters are the entirety of Buddhism” (WND,1126). In other words, each human being`s life, moment by moment in any `secular` area of life, is in one of the ten states and they can at any moment experience any other of the 9 worlds. If we carefully observe people going about any kind of `secular matter`, we will find the mutual possession of the ten worlds at work. This is true for all the principles of life that Buddhism explains. We will find them working within our daily reality. How we live, in relation to our moment by moment daily reality, works on the basis of these fundamental life principles. As we chant and practise, we experience our daily lives in a different way and this is a very profound thing: through this inter-relating of our lives and our daily realities we become Buddhas!
We naturally find ourselves chanting about our day to day realities. And in the extreme of a life threatening situation my chanting will be from my whole life and it will influence the life threatening reality. With more time, and under less pressure, I may be aware that, for example, a distant aunt is suffering and decide to chant for her happiness. There may be many other aspects of my daily reality where I may feel my happiness is related in such a way that I feel I want to chant about that aspect.
However we will also find that through our sincere chanting, we find ourselves changing, inside, in how we react, in how we see ourselves, in how far we treasure ourselves and in many other respects. The things we started by chanting about may come to be seen by us as all related to something inside and as we change that `something` our experience of all these other things changes too. Because we change, how we cause the world to come to us changes profoundly.
As we continue to practice we start to take up the challenge of changing ourselves and doing our human revolution. And we find that we seek to live a life of fundamental respect towards ourselves and all living beings. This does not mean that we cease to try, for example, to `get our own way`. But the basis on which we pursue our desires changes. We learn to trust this different way to live, based on the Mystic Law. This is not just about wishful thinking or trying to be nice. Human revolution is a far more profound change whereby we, the `ordinary being` through overcoming our negative tendencies and expanding our lives, we more and more become the Buddha.
The Buddha and the ordinary being
In a letter called `On Attaining Buddhahood` Nichiren Daishonin writes,
“If the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds.
It is the same with a Buddha and an ordinary being. When deluded, one is called an ordinary being, but when enlightened, one is called a Buddha. This is similar to a tarnished mirror that will shine like a jewel when polished. A mind now clouded by the illusions of the innate darkness of life is like a tarnished mirror, but when polished, it is sure to become like a clear mirror, reflecting the essential nature of phenomena and the true aspect of reality. Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo”. (WND, 4)
Thus there is no substantial difference between the ordinary human being and the Buddha. The difference lies in our minds and in our actions. In other words we reveal Buddhahood in our present form as we are. We cause this through our Buddhist practice and through developing faith in Nam-myoho- renge-kyo.
It is very important to appreciate that the original aspiration in Buddhism has always been the desire to become happy together with others. Buddhism has always taken the view that this is the pure and eternal wish of all people in the depths of our lives. This thought is originally and equally inherent in the lives of the Buddha and ordinary people alike. A person who becomes awakened to and who lives in accord with this spirit is a Buddha. And all ordinary people, just as they are, can attain the state of Buddhahood by having profound confidence that we are Buddhas just as we are.
It may be hard in our society to see this principle of Buddhahood manifesting itself in daily life as anything but an unattainable ideal. Few would take issue with the idea that respecting others is, in theory, the correct way for human beings to behave. But when it comes to specific individuals whom we know, various emotions arise making it a real challenge to put this principle into action.
Buddhism regards ignorance or delusion as lying at the heart of this problem. Probably everyone has succumbed at some point to doing the very opposite of what is good, knowing it is wrong. Fundamental ignorance or delusion, which is the force which gives rise to evil, exists in every human life. And as the passage earlier made clear, people can break free of this ignorance and manifest their Buddha nature or inherent enlightenment. The important thing is that we believe in our potential, strive to reveal our Buddha nature, grow as human beings, becoming happy and helping others to do the same. Irrespective of how people treat us, the important thing is to chant with an unwavering belief in the Buddha nature of everyone, ourselves and other people. This in itself can be extremely challenging, involving a real change of heart. But to take action based on such a state of life is proof of one’s humanity as a Buddhist.
To live a life of true human dignity is certainly difficult. Life is continuous change. Nothing is constant. The four sufferings of birth, old age, sickness, and death are an eternal theme from which no one can escape. Amid this harsh reality, people yearn from the depths of their beings to live with dignity and for their lives to have meaning, and they make efforts toward that end.
Nichiren Daishonin`s Buddhism teaches that it is our fundamental attitude to problems and the suffering which usually accompanies them that determines the extent to which we win or lose in creating a happy life.
When we look at the lives of great people of the past, we find that they remained undefeated by life’s hardships, by life’s pounding waves, and that they held fast to hopes that seemed fantastic dreams to most. Moreover, they let nothing stop or discourage them from realising those aspirations. They were able to do this because their hopes themselves were not limited to personal desire or self-interest, but were based on a wish for the happiness of humanity. This gave them extraordinary conviction and confidence.
We experience one suffering after another. We are assailed by hardships. That is the reality of life. But each of us possesses the power to face and overcome all these obstacles. The point is whether we believe this and are actually able to manifest this strength. To be defeated by suffering and filled with complaint is to be shackled by our karma. It is by squarely facing our suffering that we are able to transform it into something that is part of the purpose of our lives. By overcoming it our ability to achieve our purpose in life becomes strengthened. It is by challenging and overcoming difficulties as ordinary people that we demonstrate the greatness of the Mystic Law.

Why is my prayer not answered inspite of the fact that I have been chanting for it for long period of time???
Nichikan Shonin (1665-1726), the rnowned restorer of Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism assures us:
‘if you have faith in this Gohonzon and chant Nam-Myoho-Renge Kyo even for a short while, no prayer will go unanswered, no offence unexpiated, no good fortune unbestowed and no righteousness unpower…’
WE MUST NEVER FORGET TO HAVE ABSOLUTE conviction of this.Yet, why is it, then, that sometimes it seems our prayers are not answered???This is a manifestation of theBuddha’s wisdom—functioning so that we can deepen our prayers, become stronger people, live more profound lives, and secure deeper and more lasting good fortune.If our every, slightest prayers were answered immediately, we would become lazy and denegratr, and we could not hope to build a life of great dignity and substance.
10/31/06
If you chant to win in a lottery tommorow or to score 100 percent on a test tommorow without having studied, the odds are very small that it will happen.
Buddhism accords with reason. Our faith is reflected in our daily life, in our actual circumstances. Are prayers cannot be answered if we fail to make efforts appropriate to our situation.
If our prayers were automatically answered, with no true, deep prayer on our part, without a desperate life or death effort, we would become spoiled and useless.If that is how it worked, our Practice of Buddhism would not make us into people of outstanding character, it would destroy us.
Furthermore, it takes a great deal of time and effort to overcome sufferings of a karmic nature, whose roots lie deep in causes made in the past. There is a big difference, for example in the time it takes for a scratch to heal and that required to recover from a serious internal injury or disease. Some illness can be treated with medication, while others require surgery. The same applies to changing our karma through faith and practice.
In addition, each person’s level of faith and individual karma differ. Through chanting daimoku, however, we can definately bring froth from within the powerful sense of hope and move our lives in positive and beneficial direction.
There are many other elements involved in a prayer being answered, but the important thing is to keep praying until it is. By continuing to pray, you can reflect on yourself with unflinching honesty and begin to move your life in a positive direction towards the path of earnest and steady effort.Even if your prayer does not produce concrete results immediately, your continual prayer will at some time manifest itself in a form greater than you had ever hoped. It will also protect you. For example, you may pray about something at work, and yourcontinual prayer about one area of your life will eventually place you on the road of happiness in your life in general, in every aspect on a much broader scale than your original wish.
You will look back on what happened and realize that your prayer was indeed answered, and you will be completely satisfied with the result.
The essence is this : if what you are praying for will truly contribute to your happiness and to you becoming a better person, it will be answered without fail. Even if you donot see the result immediately, it will at time become apparent……….

SGI-India’s Relief Efforts Introduced on “Star News” TV Broadcast
Posted by Ganesh kumar under articlesLeave a Comment
On February 4, “Star News,” India’s leading 24-hour television news channel, provided extensive coverage of the relief efforts of Bharat Soka Gakkai (SGI-India) in quake-devastated Gujarat, India, during three prime-time slots. The news coverage described SGI-India as an international organization of Buddhists, based in New Delhi, that has been leading a relief effort to deliver emergency items directly to survivors. In an interview, SGI-India’s Women’s Peace Conference Chair Lalita Daikoku and Youth Peace Conference Chair Manu Gupta told of the relief team’s efforts to put together emergency packets that comply with local customs and traditions, including dietary habits and clothing. SGI-India’s efforts were reported to be reaching areas not yet receiving assistance from large-scale relief operations run by the government and other organizations. As one Star News correspondent observed in the broadcasts, “Relief supplies have been flooding Gujarat but due to [sic] lack of coordination these do not reach the desired people. Here is one organization that has planned relief operations down to the last detail. And it’s making sure it reaches the right people.”

CHENNAI: Education is too much of a responsibility to be left to educationists, according to IIT director M.S. Ananth. Speaking at the inauguration of an exhibition showcasing endeavours to help protect the Earth, Dr. Ananth highlighted the need for society to be actively involved in the building of character. While the tools of survival for a professional were self-confidence, knowledge of jargon and common sense, the tools of survival of a civilisation were different.
Importance of tools
He listed the tools as knowledge, values, objectivity, aesthetics and a sense of history. He said educational institutions and government support were important to teach these tools to students.
Organised by Bharat Soka Gakkai, the exhibition titled “Seeds of change: The Earth charter and human potential,” is being held at ICSR Building, IIT, till June 26.
Lauding the exhibition, agriculture scientist M.S. Swaminathan recalled the contribution of Daisaku Ikeda, president of Soka Gakkai International, and the importance of peace and harmony in taking care of nature. He cited an incident in the Andamans when his team of scientists visited the islands.
When a member of an non-governmental organisation asked the tribals living there how much money they needed for an orphanage, the tribals merely said, “We have no orphans here. They are all our children.”
Dr. Swaminathan highlighted the need to be “one among ourselves and Nature.”
A short documentary film titled “A quiet revolution” was screened on the occasion with three success stories of sustainable development from India, Kenya and Slovakia. The film told the story of Nobel Laureate Wangari Maathai who created a tree nursery in her backyard and encouraged other women to do the same.
Now over 20 million trees have been planted in the area.
This exhibition was initially created by Soka Gakkai and the Earth Charter Initiative for the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg.

1. We need to have an outlet for our frustrations.
Chant daimoku to the Gohonzon without editing our prayer.
2. We need an empathetic ear to hear us out.
Connect with seniors and friends in faith.
3. We need a sense of control over the situation.
Don’t feel victimized by circumstances. We need to embrace all of our life – everything in it – and never be defeated. “I will use this to open up my Buddhahood!”
4. We need a positive outlook regardless of the outcome.
Regardless of how a situation turns out, our attitude is the key to victory. We need to keep a positive and winning attitude to the last moment.
5. We need a reason why we need to make it through this stressful period.
Our reason “why” is our mission for Kosen-rufu; our obligation as Bodhisattvas of the Earth to show the power of Nam-myho-renge-kyo to the rest of the world.

MR. SONODA’S GUIDANCE
from the International District Meeting
11/30/00
This is a rough transcript of the guidance Mr. Sonoda gave at the International District meeting on November 30th, 2000. He gave us all a challenge to turn our situations around into the greatest benefit by January 1st, 2001. (See the “December Challenge” below.) The theme of our meeting was appreciation. I hope it inspires you as much as it did me.
Appreciation: Learning it is difficult because our society always teaches us about good and bad, right and wrong. We are programmed to believe in good and bad. If we have the things we want we are happy. If we don’t have what we want we begrudge our lives.
“14 Slanders.” The Daishonin taught that there are 14 things that prevent us from becoming happy. Two of them are: 1) A mistaken view of our life. (We don’t know who we are.); and 2) too much attachment to material things.
We embrace our mistaken identities so deeply that they become our reality.
Appreciation does not refer to things outside yourself. Appreciate your own life first. Appreciate when you fail. Appreciate when you try and try again and still fail. Appreciate when you embarrass yourself.
Our fundamental problem is that we are unhappy. So how do we turn it around? Appreciate who you are. You are a Buddha. You are the best thing that ever appeared on this whole planet. You are the greatest thing in the whole universe. If you believe that there is nothing you cannot do with your life, then there is nothing you cannot do. To believe that you can do anything is to bring your life into harmony.
When we were young no one taught us how to walk. We were true to our own nature and learned ourselves. But as we get older, people (parents, teachers, etc.) wanted to control us. We got angry. Be like a tree. A tree stays a tree no matter if you kick it or curse at it. It is in harmony with itself. It doesn’t care what you do. It is just being a tree. But this is not the same with humans. We don’t live in harmony with our true nature, and we are swayed by the opinions and thoughts of those outside of us.
To chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is to put yourself in harmony. But it comes from appreciating your own life.
When your life is falling apart, try and chant in that moment to appreciate your life. If you are in harmony, it will turn around. Our life has unbelievable power and wisdom, but we don’t trust ourselves and let it come forth. We always look for validation outside and we’ll never get it. If we validate ourselves, we will be able to influence everything around us.
“Challenge for December:” No matter where my life is at, I will chant with the determination that I will turn this situation around within one month. I’ll take the responsibility to make it happen. And in that one month, I’ll create the biggest benefit of my life.
The Daishonin said that the Treasure Tower in the Lotus Sutra is the Gohonzon, and that each and every one of us who chants Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is Many Treasures Buddha. If you believe that you are Many Treasures Buddha, then the place where you are is the dwelling place of the Buddha and the dream that you have is the Buddha’s dream.
If, however, you begrudge your life, you will not be able to turn it around.
Again the December Challenge: To turn your life around in one month:
1) Perceive the truth of your life.
2) Take responsibility for creating the greatest benefit you’ve ever had. Everything begins and ends with you.
Kyochi Myoho = oneness of the person and the law. When you chant, you and the law become one. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo encompasses everything in the universe. Chant that your life and your goal will become one. You are the center of the universe.
Don’t chant to overcome an obstacle. Don’t chant about something out there. Chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo for the harmony of your own life. Chant to perceive your own truth.
What does it mean to appreciate another person. It means that you have no judgments about them. No matter what the conditions, you will do anything for that person’s happiness. Don’t use anger as a form of judgment. It is fine to get angry, but don’t judge another person life just because today you are feeling anger towards them.
Being a Buddha does not mean you are perfect. It means you always turn the negative into a benefit.
There is a story about Bodhisattva Fukyo. He was a believer in Shakyamuni. He was originally a very wealthy man, but he was very unhappy. When he converted to Buddhism, he decided that he would display complete appreciation for every person he came across and so he bowed at every person he saw. People couldn’t understand this behavior from a complete stranger. So they started cursing him and he just kept bowing. And then they started stoning him wherever he went. And as he fled from the pelting stones, he just kept bowing. Mr. Sonoda heard this story early on in his practice, and he decided that he too wanted to make the essence of his Buddhist practice Appreciation.
We usually think of Appreciation as something outside of us. We appreciate our possessions or what someone does for us. But in Buddhism, Appreciation is for our own life. We strive to appreciate the essence of our life, whatever we are going through in the moment.
We are all programmed from a very early age–by our families and teachers and TV, etc.–to believe that we are a certain person. But Buddhism says that we have an incorrect view of our life.
Our goal as Buddhists is to Develop A Correct View Of Our Life.
Nichiren Daishonin said, “He who perceives the greatness of his life is a Buddha. He who doesn’t is a fool.”
Chant to realize that you are the Buddha just as you are. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo allows the opportunity to perceive who you truly are.
When you perceive who you are, you will naturally impact your environment.
Programming makes it difficult to appreciate our life. We think appreciation always has to be connected to the material. Buddhism is awakening to the greatness of your own life.
It is not easy to appreciate your life, because your life does not want to appreciate itself. Just try chanting daimoku for fifteen minutes exclusively focusing on appreciating your life. Your mind will get distracted and you will think about everything but appreciation. But strive to stay focused on appreciation. Just as you are.
In our minds we judge our lives. We see part of our self as good and part as bad. We believe we have to push everything to the positive side to be happy. But you cannot do that. You just are who you are. There is no such thing as Good Buddha/Bad Buddha. There is only the Buddha. Just as you are.
We are all just Buddhas. And sometimes we will do terrible things. Good and bad exists because we are human beings. The only thing our stupidity proves is that we are human. And there is nothing wrong with that. Being a Buddha means that we take the negative and turn it into a benefit.
When we take a negative circumstance and use it to validate a negative belief about our self we are in misery. Because you haven’t got the job you’ve always wanted is not proof that you are a terrible and worthless person. It is an opportunity to prove how wonderful you are as a human being.
We are all dysfunctional somehow, and we believe it is the cause of all our suffering. That is B.S. We buy into this belief so that we have a reason to fail. We always have to have a reason to fail. Then negative only perpetuates itself and gets deeper. Our Buddhahood exists inside our dysfunction, too. If we manifest our Buddhahood and appreciate our life, then our “dysfunction” will become our greatest benefit. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo can turn anything around.
Everything about our character is unbelievably wonderful. We think we have to fix what we believe to be broken, but in reality nothing is broken.
We need to find out how wonderful and powerful our life is. And we can do it in one night if we really appreciate our self.
Appreciation does not mean that you accept the circumstances. Again, it is not about something outside of you. Appreciation has three qualities:
1) No Matter what happens you do not betray your dreams/goals/self.
2) No Matter what happens, you don’t make any judgments about yourself.
3) No matter what the situation in your life, you must turn it around.
It is unacceptable to be in a place where you are depressed. That has to be our fundamental attitude.
If you are angry, make it the function of the Buddha. Whatever quality is fundamental to your life, chant to appreciate it and it will bring out unbelievable power.
The following is guidance that Mr. Sonoda gave at a New Years meeting for the youth division, transcribed by the same person who gave us his November & December guidances.
As Buddhists, we have to always create a new vision for our lives. NMRK will not solve our problems. We must take responsibility for our lives. To take responsibility we must be willing to change our outdated visions of our life. Try something new when the old ways don’t work. Our life will perpetuate it’s same obstacles until we change our vision.
President Ikeda wants to create a new university in America which will create a new vision for education.
A loser does things that don’t work over and over again. A winner realizes that something doesn’t work and does something else.
The New Vision is You. If you totally trust yourself you’ll accomplish whatever you set your mind to.
When you totally trust yourself you are not afraid to fall, to fail, to embarrass yourself, to put your foot in your mouth. You absolutely appreciate your life regardless of whatever you are going through.
Every infant learns how to walk on its own accord. And it falls over and over, cries, and gets frustrated. An infant will never give up on it’s desire to walk, and so it is successful. The same is true of its desire to talk. An infant will walk and talk no matter what! You cannot stop an infant from learning. Where along the way do we lose that no matter what spirit?
We reach a certain age and we develop a resistance to trusting ourselves.
Chanting NMRK is radical. You have to take responsibility for your life. The only way you can do it is to trust your life.
No matter what situation you are in, you have no time to begrudge your life.
We must understand that doing something stupid is the harmony of life. So is embarrassing ourselves. Getting into an angry rage is the harmony of life. We must turn all of these experiences into great benefits. We cannot use them as negatives to validate negative self images.
The “10 Worlds” are not meant so that we can judge our lives. Nichiren illuminated them so that we could see that no matter what condition our life may enter, it can be the condition of Buddhahood. When we fall into hell, we tend to think that there is something wrong with us. But all it proves is that we are human. And in hell lies Buddhahood.
What makes chanting NMRK different from all other spiritual practices is that it places all responsibility on you–and on nothing outside. You are responsible for your happiness.
To start 2001 off right, we must believe that 2000 was the greatest year we’ve ever had. In 2001 we will manifest incredible results, because of the causes we made in 2000. You need to have complete appreciation for your life and where you’ve been. If you enter 2001 trying to fix something that is broken then you are screwed. Believe you made amazing causes in 2000 and the benefits of those causes will manifest in 2001.
Do you ever betray yourself? Give up on your dream? You cannot betray your dream no matter what! You can never give up on yourself no matter what!
Chant NMRK to let go of what you believe is wrong with you!
Buddhism is not based on mind over matter. Trusting yourself is not an intellectual proposition. You don’t tell yourself you are going to trust yourself . You just do it and you take action accordingly.
We always breakthrough when we are truly down for the count. We give up our resistance, surrender in that moment, and let the wisdom of NMRK to manifest in our life.
Trust yourself! Trust the Gohonzon! Trust NMRK! You will see amazing results, but you must let go of your resistance.
Give yourself the opportunity to change your vision about yourself.
The 9th consciousness is the consciousness of the Buddha. It represents a different vision of who you are. Whatever world you are in is the world of the Buddhahood. The Gohonzon is inside you–not outside you.
