What is Absolute Happiness?
It is unshakable confidence in our OWN life.
It is the knowledge that
what we do makes a difference...
Who we ARE makes a difference...
Our lives are meaningful everyday, and we are using our potential to bring out the best in ourselves and others.
Absolute Happiness is being strong
in the face of any blowing wind,
and having the courage to sit down, once more, face the Gohonzon (our lives) and chant truthfully with a seeking spirit to be able to change on the inside so that what we can overcome any hardship or reach any goal.
Absolute Happiness is
NEVER being defeated...
never giving up,
and somehow,having the faith to en-courage others even while facing our own storms.
Absolute happiness lies in being able to chant wholeheartedly for others, no matter whether we feel they wronged us or not. It is the knowledge that we are all connected, and when we light the way for another, we light it for ourselves.
Absolute happiness is KNOWING that every one of our obstacles or problems can be a springboard for growth, a reason to chant harder with deeper concentration, and for a longer time...and that we WILL win!
Absolute happiness is knowing that never, never, never is the way lost, because we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we have a wise mentor in life, and we have our friends in the Soka Gakkai by our sides.
The following is an excerpt from our upcoming book
