Daisaku Ikeda

 Hello friends , Today I would like to talk you about my integral part of life. It may be just a name for you but for me he is my Mentor , he is Hope & he is Life.. The person I am talking  about is a Buddhist Philosophers . He has served as a third president of Soka Gakkai and is founding president of the Soka Gakkai International (SGI), the  World,s largest organization with approximately 12 millions practitioners in 192 countries .Its not about believing  in someone or following  one another . What matters is your connection with that person , when i joined Nichrein Daishonin's Buddhism in 2015 , it was just a fun activity , m,medium of meeting new people and a source of entertainment, but this philosophy is all about seeing oneself and others happy through your Daimoku which is chanting "Nam my-oho renege k yo " and by showing actual proofs in your life. I became serious in this practice  when i started studying the writings of Sensei ( Daisaku Ikeda) and the connection built up with him through my daimoku and by studying his books was unbelievable , Because whenever i needed someone it was his writings who supported me to move ahead in my life , as if you are walking in the dark and suddenly you see the light coming from nowhere , helping you to cross the path. Nichiren's Buddhism is the Buddhism of the sun , , that enables young people , whose lives are like the morning sun , to shine their brightest . you become totally a changed person , Although my mentor is in japan and has turned 90 this year , he is physically far away but it feels that we are never apart Daisaku Ikeda explains " there is no true happiness other then chanting Nam My-oho Renge Kyo", because through this we bring forth our inner Buddha and increase the splendor and power of our lives. when we chant we are not  petitioning an external being to act in our favor , instead we are expressing our determination to bring forth our highest life potential , we just don't sit and wait for people and circumstances to change .Throughout own powerful inner resolve and seek to exert a positive effect on our environment. So come lets find our inner potential and be a better version of ourselves.
