I received this question at chantforhappiness@gmail.com:
"Is it possible to write a few points about these concepts - "itai doshin" and about courage, conviction and confidence?"
Well, "itai doshin" is, as many of you know, "Many in body, one in mind" It comes from working side-by-side your fellow SGI members to create a peaceful, respectful world of kosen-rufu. It is the fuel for Kosen Rufu and a happy world. Chanting for the happiness of all your SGI friends, getting to know them, and practicing for others leads to itai-doshin. These are not merely empty words. We can't be gossiping about others, or complaining. We have to realize that we are all connected...and that when we slander another member we slander ourselves. We are here to make positive causes not negative ones. We don't have to "like" every single person...but we can stand up for their happiness in our hearts.
And Courage, conviction and confidence come from our strong prayer in front of the Gohonzon - in front of our lives...with every moment of Daimoku we can strengthen our courage, conviction and confidence!
