Soka Buddhist Altar Manager: Nichiren Daishonin's Gosho: Reading the Gosho with the family: Family harmony: Realizing the drama of human revolution

Determined to read and recite the entire Gosho

On the morning of November 18th last year, I had not yet been able to complete my "complete reading of the Gosho" - I had failed three times before. At around 2:30pm, I received the news of the passing of Ikeda Sensei, and I was momentarily stunned.
I had just gotten used to the basic chant of the Daimoku, and I had decided to recite the entire Gosho, so I never expected to receive such tragic news on the same day.

Since then, I have resolved to record my readings of the Gosho on YouTube in between my daily life, work, and activities, and have been putting this into practice.

What's the point of reading the Gosho by yourself?

Then, in September of this year, a senior believer watched a YouTube video and gave me a shout-out: "Shima, what's the point of reading the Gosho alone? If you want to achieve happiness for yourself and others, why not read it together with two or three people instead of alone?" When I first asked my wife if she wanted to recite the Gosho with me, she said, "That's a good idea."
Furthermore, when I talked to my son-in-law, who performs religious services every morning, he simply said, "I understand," and gave me the OK.

The question is, are you always challenging yourself?

Do you practice gongyo as a couple? Or with your family?
I think that this is something that is not commonly done in everyday life.
Furthermore, do you "read or recite the Gosho with your family?"

The hurdles are getting higher and higher!
Of course, I don't mean to talk about being arrogant just because you can do it. I just want to ask you if you are always challenging yourself.

Is it the same life?
Do you have the determination to make faith your life? Or not? Can't you think of anything?
I am happy that the people around me are always giving me opportunities to think with faith.
That's how I see it.

I am the source of value creation

It won't work out eventually!
I have to do something about it.
Time passes by quickly.
What's the point of hesitating?

Evolution, aging, deterioration!

I will soon be 68 years old and a respectable grandfather.
However, I always want to grow and evolve! I pray and practice this.
What if the moment you give up on yourself, you'll never be able to get to that point again?

If we do nothing, won't our mental strength, physical strength, and health gradually decline over time?
Are you healthy now? Are you motivated? What are you worried about?

This faith is the faith that will lead you to a state of absolute happiness.
If you cannot, isn't it because you are assigning your own interpretation to this faith?
Has the topic been raised?
Are you calling on the book?
Are you learning and practicing President Ikeda's teachings?

What is the Human Revolution?
It's not a novel, isn't it the way you live your precious life?

Now is the time to get your faith on the right track

It has been one year since President Ikeda passed away.
Worldwide kosen-rufu has been entrusted to us.

Who will carry out kosen-rufu?
Hi, that's me!

Who is in charge of kosen-rufu?
Yes, that's President Ikeda!

If you have a clear purpose and goal, you can create the best life possible that is unique to you, even now.
No matter what the situation, you can turn things around and achieve victory in a life that you can be satisfied with.
Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism has enormous, unimaginable merits.
The power of the Buddha and the Dharma is directly proportional to one's own faith and practice, and sometimes it can lead to incredible and unexpected dramas.
It takes some time. First, sow the seeds, then pray, water them, add fertilizer, and take action! Live every day to the fullest! Until you become a person who will never give up! Let's work hard together!
