Power of Daimoku (Dr. Ikeda)

If you underestimate the power of Daimoku,
And use another strategy;
You will lose in the end.

You can accumulate good fortune only when
You fight for Kosen-Rufu without begrudging your life.
Unless your prayers are united,
The fight for Kosen-Rufu cannot gain momentum.

No matter what anybody says, or does,
Nothing can defeat the power of Daimoku.
But without action, you cannot call it faith.

The Gohonzon can penetrate through everything.
The word “faith” is very mystic
And once you become serious, you can gain
One thousand times or ten thousand times more benefits.

When you chant abundant Daimoku,
You have the power to open the heaviest iron door
That stands in your ways; that is,
You can overcome the most massive obstacles in your life.

You can definitely change your negative karma.
The world of “faith” is the place where many of us,
Chant powerful Daimoku in unity,
Thus create the power like the huge force of the wind.

There is nothing but the Daimoku.
Daimoku determines everything.
Daimoku has more power than one million guidances
Or one million books of philosophy.

Chant abundant Daimoku and pray to the Gohonzon.
Ask the Gohonzon for whatever you need.
Everything will come true as you wished
And the path of Kosen-Rufu will open up in front of you.

Everything depends on how much Daimoku you chant.
When you chant a lot of Daimoku,
Your work will become fulfilling.

There may be many nights when tears will not stop flowing
There may also be many times when you are terribly hurt.
At such times, my heart will open to you.
I am always here to listen to you,
I, too, will share your tears with you.

You don’t need to tell me anything.
If you care happy, I can just tell by looking at your face.
Just tell me about the problems and pains that you have,
I will carry half of your heavy burden,
And walk together with you.
