Today I read Soka Spirit (the SGIna monthly magazine) January Edition, read the SGI Youth Chief 'Sato' and SGI YWD Chief 'Yumiko' dialog with Ikeda Sensei.
I take a bit of an interesting line of dialog from them :
Sato Said : Some members feel bad because they are so busy with their work
until no time to chanting Daimoku as much as they want.
And Sensei Answered :
No need to Worry.
You don't need to feel depressed about the amount Daimoku that
you chant. Even mention the Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo only once,
has the extraordinary power.
Nichiren Daishonin Write : "If you chanting Daimoku [although only]
once, the Buddhist nature of all living beings will be called and
gathered around you." (WND-1, P.131).
You will receive an extraordinary fortune of a one-time chanting
Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo with sincerity. That's how power the Mystic
Law.
Beside that, because it's true, doesn't mean we use it as an excuse to avoid
Daimoku!! As Daishonin said : "Heart is most important" (WND-1, P.1000).
Especially, as Youth, now is the time for you to survive with persistent and
work harder than anyone. Please chanting Daimoku vigorously and devote
yourself wholeheartedly to Kosen-rufu.
Yah.. What Sensei Say it's True...
We shouldn't use time as an our excuses. Don't have enough time, does not mean we should abandon our Daimoku. Chanting Daimoku is very important for us. Because, Only Chanting More Daimoku, we can be strong, and full of courage and wisdom too. Daimoku is the source of our strength. I remember, when I go to Japan to join the 'Youth Training Course @ September 2010' recently, Sensei encourage all Youth Divisions, Sensei said "Not to leave Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo. Whatever happens, do not leave Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo".
I very like this Guidance,, Hopefully can encourage your spirit aLL.. ^o^ /
