Sunday, 22 November, 2020. The second pillar

   Today, I begin writing about the rest of the story written on November 10, about the second pillar of my moral standard.

   Thinking correctly about the way of solution for my problems, we must first and profoundly consider the following quotation by my mentor: "It is impossible to build one's own happiness on the misfortune of others." (from the same site).

   The more you know about our real world and our life, the more you cannot believe the quote that we cannot build our happiness at the sacrifice of other persons' happiness. So even problems within arm's reach far from global problems are not solved. Thus, those are left, continuously accumulated around us, and our situation will be going more and more badly. Nevertheless, we need to notice the previous quotation. The principle states that everyone includes within each other's environment.

   As you know, our inner devils always whisper to us: becoming ignorant; getting greedy; hating anybody!. Of course, you can understand almost of the principle, because you are not ignorant. So you can understand that the quote of "It is impossible to build one's own happiness on the misfortune of others." is the last hope left behind us.

   The quotation, which is expanded practically and concretely from the principle of the oneness of life and its environment, is also the second pillar of my moral standard.  As most people think so sincerely, it is not much probably that nobody can live exclusively by sacrificing other persons. The people who can not think so may surely live in severe misfortune now.

   However, you can change yourself to become happiness, if you can brave problem out to face the whisper of inner devils. Consequently, as showing by the principle mentioned above, you and other persons can become happy. 

   As everyone already knows, a basic solution is to change ourselves. We have already known the way that can change ourself. The second pillar of mine has been just that and is the only way of which anyone can carry out, I think so.

We studied a beginning part of the text (see below) of "Letter to Jakunichi-bō ( 137 )", which is the text for the Zadankai-Gosho-teaching in November, which is the founding month of Soka Gakkai. The part is the "It is extremely rare to be born as a human being. Not only are you endowed with human form, but you have had the rare fortune to encounter Buddhism. Moreover, out of the Buddha’s many teachings you have encountered the daimoku, or the title, of the Lotus Sutra and become its votary. Truly you are a person who has offered alms to a hundred thousand million Buddhas in his past existences!". Moreover, we studied the more part text of "Letter to Jakunichi-bō ( 137 )" on the Gosh-study-lecture in November by Mr. Morinaka (Study-Leader of Soka Gakkai) on YouTube. The part is the "My giving myself the name Nichiren (Sun Lotus) derives from my own enlightenment regarding the Buddha vehicle. This may sound as though I think I am wise, but there are s

I previously used the clause that you look up to someone as a mentor. I literally look up that (not someone) every day, but of course, it is the picture of mentor on the upper of a wall that I am looking up. You may interest in who is in the picture. I will tell you about that someday because it is never secret. You will certainly feel that my sentences are arrogant, because these are wordy sentences. But I think that those styles will mainly relate to the character of me. But those possibly depend on minds that are common with Japanese, and I will expect a little that is so. No way, I must appreciate that you had read those such sentences and like to expect your generosity.
