Be a victor or victoria

The important thing is to have a bold and positive approach in life.

When experiencing failures and disappointments, frustrations, or illness, people tend to lose confidence and let fear overtake them. It's at such times however, that we need to make a conscious effort to move forward with strength and courage. When you say to yourself,"Next time ill succeed!" or "I'm going to get better and make through this!" you have already won.

Lift your heads, stand tall, and keep moving forward!
Those who are spiritual victors and are the greatest victors of all! This is the essence of faith.

lets develop faith for our victories in life.

All in ur Mind

What a wonderful phrase, dunt yah think?

Within us is the cause of everything that happens to us. This does not mean you’re always to blame for your problems, but it does mean that it is only you who can create your solutions.

Start with ur mind. Ur mind creates ur reality.

A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.

WEDNESDAY, October 4th, 2006-- TO MY FRIENDS --The results we achieve in the futuredepend on the causes we make right now.*One by one, step by step,let's patiently continue to plant the seeds for our dreamsand goals.Let's be victorious in what we are challenging nowso that we will, no doubt, be successful in the future!* "If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present." - "The Opening of the Eyes", WND, page 279

WEDNESDAY, October 4th, 2006--- DAILY GOSHO ---"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 345) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 4th, 2006

President Ikeda's Daily Encouragement for Sept 26

Our voice costs nothing and it is our strongest weapon. Nichiren Daishonin wrote, "Do not spare your voice" (Gosho Zenshu, p. 726).There are different voices for different situations: the clear, resounding voice that declares truth and justice; the strong voice that refutes evil; the bright, confident voice that tells others about the greatness of this Buddhism; the warm voice that gives encouragement; the sincere, friendly voice that offers praise and words of appreciation to others. The important thing is that we meet and speak with people widely, inside and outside the organization.

Be a cherry tree =)

Cherry trees bloom so beautifully because they have survived the harshness of winter. The same holds true for human life. Life is a succession of changes. It is a matter of enduring and of waging a ceaseless struggle -- all the while watching the time, awaiting the time, creating the time. It is thru such accumulated efforts that we can experience full-blown victory in life." -Nichiren Daishonin-

SGI President Ikeda's Daily Encouragement for May 7

Many things happen in life. There are joyous days and times of suffering. Sometimes unpleasant things occur. But that's what makes life so interesting. The dramas we encounter are part and parcel of being human. If we experienced no change or drama in our lives, if nothing unexpected ever happened, we would merely be like automatons, our lives unbearably monotonous and dull. Therefore, please develop a strong self so that you can enact the drama of your life with confidence and poise in the face of whatever vicissitudes you may encounter.

Note : Life has ups and downs, make sure u overcome them all to live life happily

Ignorance is Not a Bliss hehe (Not speaking up equals creating harm)

Extracted from Http://http://www.sgi.org/english/President/ed_proposals/ed2001.htm

“Do not fear your enemies. The worst they can do is kill you. Do not fear friends. At worst, they may betray you. Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exists because of their silent consent”

In other words, it is the act of averting our eyes from acts of murder or betrayal that allows such evil to proliferate without end.

( It's like saying,You are being robbed, and the police sees that in front of his face, he is able to help you, But NoOOoOOoo he chose to walk away.

Ridiculous sometimes right? But isn't that the truth? We are all the 'Policeman' , we have the abililty to do things and change things, but its up to our choice. Now after you have read this, its up to u to decide wad kind of 'policeman' u wanna be in life.

So Think again,

u dont have to start with the big whoo-Haa issues like rioting against injustice and racism, Small things like helping a lost person helps =P.)

Hope u guys understand wad i meant.
Good Bye Mates!

SGI President Ikeda's Daily Encouragement for March 30

There are many 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 on the path of earnest, steady effort. Even if your prayer doesn't produce concrete results immediately, your continual prayer will at some time manifest itself in a form greater than you had ever hoped.

those bolded words are very important. some reasons why your prayers aren't answered
1.you are praying for something bad to happen
2.gohonzon dosen't want you to have these things, he has something better in store for you.
3.you are not praying with your heart

so take these down and always remember in your heart not to ever give up. because u have nothing to lose =)
