MUDANÇA DO CORAÇÃO.
É comum lermos ou ouvirmos a expressão " O que importa é o coração".Entretanto, muitos pensamentos negativos podem minar nossa sabedoria e esse "coração" acaba sendo derrotado pela nossa mente. Na prática budista aprendemos que o importante não é a formalidade de encontrarmos ou não com uma pessoa e sim " com que " sentimento " vamos ao encontro dela para criarmos o ambiente ideal para a Vitória absoluta.
Nichiren Daishonin cita no escrito O ARCO E A FLECHA: " Cuide-se e não deixe que a angústia perturbe a sua mente". ( CEND, v. I, p. 686), e também nos ensina na carta ATINGIR O ESTADO DE BUDA NESTA EXISTÊNCIA: "Se a mente das pessoas é impura, sua terra é igualmente impura. Mas, se sua mente é pura, assim é a sua terra. Portanto, Não há duas terras pura e impura. A diferença reside apenas no bem e no mal da própria mente ( Ibidem, p. 4).
Então, a pergunta que devo fazer é " Como está a minha mente hoje?".Estou mais felizes ou angustiado; com mais esperança ou com medo? Qual sentimento prevalece no meu dia a dia?
Tudo começa com a oração e o sincero desejo de mudar os sentimentos. Assim, tendo a prática do Daimoku como base, precisamos também estudar o Budismo para compreendermos a vida e as causas de determinadas circunstâncias.

Na Nova Revolução Humana, o Presidente Ikeda menciona o incentivo de Nichiren Daishonin: " Ser Mestre da própria mente' significa fazer dos princípios do Budismo nosso guia, e conseguimos isso por meio do estudo (...) É um espelho que nos mostra quem somos" ( NRH, V.24, CAPÍTULO, " PROTEÇÃO PLENA", P. 133).

RIGHT ACTION
Reflecting Upon Social Action
However the seed is planted, in that way the fruit is gathered. Good things come from doing good deeds; bad things come from doing bad deeds. (SN 11.10) What is the purpose of a mirror? For the purpose of reflection. So too social action is to be done with repeated reflection. (MN 61)

One reflects thus: "A person who acts in hurtful ways is displeasing and disagreeable to me. If I were to act in hurtful ways, I  would be displeasing and disagreeable to others. Therefore, I will undertake a commitment to not act in hurtful ways." (MN 15)
Reflection
The classical teachings list three modes of action—body, speech, and mind—not four. Social action is not a category in the ancient texts, but it is an important aspect of our modern world, and the Buddha had plenty to say about how to act among others. The same principles apply: reflect carefully on how you interact with others and learn to behave in ways that are healthy and bring about healthy relationships.
Daily Practice
One of the best things we can learn from others is how not to act. Whenever we see something in others that is disagreeable to us, we can take the opportunity to refrain from acting the same way ourselves. Instead of blaming others or feeling insulted by them or putting our energy into rebuking them or trying to change them, none of which is useful or likely to be successful, let’s learn instead what not to do ourselves.
