Experience of chanting the daimoku 10,000 times in the morning, No. 551: I joined Soka Gakkai because I wanted to be happy, and I want to live my life with the awareness that I am practicing this faith!

I want to live with the awareness that I myself have this faith!
Why do we practice faith? Everyone wants to be happy, so they joined Soka Gakkai and were able to encounter this faith and the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin.
When you find yourself in a pinch, what should you do?
①Is it time to try harder?
②Is it time to take a break?
3) Is it time to face your own life?
If you can solve the problem with your own ideas, then you should try harder, but if you get tired, it's important to take a rest.
But what do you do when you don't know what to do with yourself?
You have no choice but to face your own life. Even if you feel satisfied after talking about it with someone's advice at the time, nothing has changed about you. Sit upright in front of the Gohonzon and contemplate the truth, including your honest feelings, pure heart, and the life you want!
Whether you chant the daimoku or not, you are the one who decides who you are in life, so if you have joined Soka Gakkai and have faith, then sit upright in front of the Gohonzon (Nichiren Daishonin) and face your own life!
It is important to have faith that flows like water and to chant the daimoku
The study of faith and practice begins with believing in the object of worship (yourself) and chanting the daimoku of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo, then reciting the Expedient Self-Verse, attending discussion meetings, reading the Seikyo Shimbun, reading the Daibyakurenge, working hard at your job, and cherishing your family.
It may seem obvious, but are you acting with a sincere desire to seek the truth, not just in form?
Decide, pray, and act = the prologue to the drama of human revolution begins
I want to live my life being mindful of my words and actions, and contributing to the happiness of myself and others.
By deciding, praying, and taking action, you will start to notice things for yourself.
And by continuing, you can improve yourself.
Eventually, you will become aware of the destiny you have created, and you will be able to make a strong decision and take action to change that destiny.
No matter what my current situation may be, whether I am sick, struggling financially, in relationships, or have fate or karma, I want to live with the awareness that I am practicing this faith! I want to live in this way in order to attain a state of absolute happiness.
I want to make the drama of our human revolution a reality!
