OVERCOMING ILLNESS

OVERCOMING ILLNESS

President Ikeda's quotes on OVERCOMING ILLNESS 

"Falling ill is not a form of failure or defeat. It doesn't happen because our faith is weak. The hardship of illness that occurs when we are striving for kosen-rufu is simply the action of devilish influences trying to obstruct our attainment of Buddhahood. As such, we mustn't let illness intimidate us. The Daishonin teaches us how to bring forth courage to face illness and attain Buddhahood in this lifetime. 

  

It is vital to arouse even stronger faith when you experience illness. Keep chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the determination to make this illness an opportunity to demonstrate the tremendous power of faith and achieve truly amazing growth as a human being."

"The Daishonin writes: "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?" (WND-1, 412). 

The Mystic Law is the power source that enables us to vanquish the sufferings of illness. It is the best of all medicines for our life. Mr. Toda often used to say: "The human body is one big pharmaceutical factory."

The important thing is to pray intensely and continuously so that the great life force of the Buddha can manifest itself in your body and vanquish the devil of illness. If you fight against sickness based on faith in the Mystic Law, you can definitely transform all poison into medicine."

"To our dear friends battling illness, I sincerely hope that you will never be defeated, no matter what!

The Mystic Law is the wonderful medicine of life.

Exerting the power of a roaring lion king in our chanting, let's all embark on a fresh journey of GOOD HEALTH and VICTORY !"
