2009.H21.1.1 Beginning of the Year Impressions Miura Nichijou

The manuscript of the chief priest was published in the November 10, 2008 issue of the Nichiren Shu Shimbun column, so I am reprinting it.

・ "Religious Revolution"
Mr. Bill Gates of the United States developed Windows and succeeded in revolutionizing the personal computer. 　
Just by clicking the icon (symbol), the software will start up and anyone can easily work.

In Buddhism, Tenｄai Daishi of China elucidated the Principle of Enlightenment (Ichinen Sanzen), but the way it was established was too difficult to spread.

Nichiren Shonin developed the three great secret laws and illustrated the system for attaining Buddhahood in the Great Mandala Honzon. He was trained on Mt. Minobu and laid the foundation for the Honge Kyodan.

It was a “religious revolution,” in which even ordinary people could simply connect with Myoho-Renge-Kyo, and the software of Buddhism (original life activity) would naturally activate.

We disciples are the core of the founding of Japan, presenting a sample of a nation in which nature, culture, etc. are in great harmony, centering on the daimoku (symbol), following the grand vision of our Nichiren Shonin

(Nichiren Buddhism Iwate Prefecture Missionary Chairman, Zenkeiji Temple Chief, Eshin Miura)

・ Last year, the financial crisis had a negative impact on the real economy, and the world shrank into the new year.

　Next year's NHK historical drama will be "Ryomaden", a patriot from the end of the Tokugawa period, but what kind of human image will he draw...

It seems that the world has been unfolding along the lines of those who drew up scenarios for social trends over the past few hundred years.

In the United States, President Obama regulated lobbying activities against the government and Congress. It is a reflection of the fact that politics up to now has not been a true politics of elected people, but has been driven by forces that have a strong influence on the central government.

Some people wonder if the privatization of Japan's postal services is part of a system that sucks up Japan's wealth.
Americans are against paying for Wall Street's failures with tax money.

Last year, there were four Japanese Nobel Prize winners. Former laureates, Leo Esaki and Ryoji Noyori, said in a TV forum, "Research should not wander around the periphery of the problem; it is important to get to the core."

He said, "Science approaches the truth of natural phenomena and provides great benefits to mankind. Mankind's conventions and laws are required, but in the end, morality is important."

The Nobel Prize itself was Nobel's repentance to the fact that he invented explosives and gained a huge amount of money, but on the other hand, he lost a huge number of lives.

The Japanese moral code was erased from home and school education after the war because it was inconvenient for some powers.

Nichiren Daishonin's true intentions are none other than the realization of "Rissho Ankoku" and "World Peace."
He establishes the right law and secures the nation. what is legal? 　

　
Master　-　employee　 cut off poverty
Teacher -　student 　 get rid of trouble
Parent　-　child　 end poverty

It is said that one's life activities are perfected by the three virtues (Juryo Gohonbutsu, the five characters of Myoho) of the master・teacher・parent and the three paths of employee ・student・child (Bodhisattva of Honka-Jiwaku, Namu-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, and Odaimoku believers). , the thought and divine power of the Lotus Sutra are the last bastions of human prosperity.

The Constitution of Japan enshrines freedom of religion. With that comes personal responsibility.

Each household should freely establish the path of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, and send human resources who have pillars in their hearts, who have open eyes, and who are rich in heart, to revitalize the organization, and restore the soundness of the nation.

Where did Ryoma Sakamoto stand? The time has come for the Heisei Restoration and real democracy.
``Japan, the country where the Great Mandala was founded'' (Nichiren Daishonin's Lecture)

Let's show the world what a nation is like. That's What Nichiren Saints thoughtng.

It's a sentence from 10 years ago, but it seems that society is developing like that.
