did i hear the word SHIT?
oh yes, lots of it, wherever i/we turn.
i should be chanting whenever i get in bad mood(every day now with my gf, living with her makes it even more intense), but i just can't chant when she's around....i know that's one of my weaknesses....but man...i've been praying and working for love and sex for years now...still i cannot chant when i get in trouble, evenings and mornings are usually the most critical parts of the day, and then i chant because it's unavoidable....it gets even worse if i don't do it at least then
i am the one to blame for my condition, no one else and it irratates me that this time i'm not able to see the future as i used to did. i just don't know what's with this girl, she definetly is special, makes my roof blow every day mostly
so my lack of fortune-cooky-abilities right now is one of the things that puzzles me and keeps me from going totally nuts and break our relationship with force
i am an agressive man, calm as shit by nature but when something gets to me, i make a big effort to be as big of an asshole as i can be, and when something piles up for years, not getting solved, i get animalistic in a second
even if i wait before i react, there are still the gf's devils that keep us away from moving on...a full circle i tell ya
my emotions are getting num, i hate talking to other girls because i cannot lie through my eyes, and i cannot pretend anymore that I DON'T WANT TO LIVE...and they see that in me, and there's been like 10000 situations in the near past when i could've make contact with women, and plant a seed....well i didn't, cos, what do i have to offer to that unsuspected girls? more doubts then ever? woohoo, i bet they'd be happy once they've got to know me!
the truth is, this gf of mine, is just pushing me to the limits, to the same ones as my brother did when we were kids, he still likes to push ppl in the mental way, not expressing his understanding of situation, just joking and fucking around, so is my gf.
now all the suffering i've got so far in this life, has polished me through time, like chanting does. but man, enough, enough, enough!
can i say something, i must, nothing personal. fuck you, let's chant!
p.s.
Thank you my Gohonzon!

Hi Scegy,
Don't do anything that would ruin your life. Remain calm at all times. Sheesh, it sounds easy doesn't it?
I wanted to tell everyone or discuss with you the idea of medicine. The things that
hurt your feelings. The things that you know you shouldn't take personally but you feel it personally- like it's against you and only you. The things that make you feel like the greatest chump in the world. The good guy who finishes last. All mirrors tell you that you are weak and then you can't even look at them. Well if we can endure this which we will have to because of who we are we are pushing back that stop sign out there. We are going light years ahead if we let the takers take and the insulters insult. Do 100% with everything and it will all work itself out. As Boddhis we experience man at his worst and greed at it's finest. If you can swallow that medicine without being totally crushed down the treasure will be yours and the kingdom too. The treasure towers inside us will grow like jack and the beanstock. But it's hard because the feeling wakes you up real early when you still can't see your ceiling and it hovers around while you struggle to sleep. But that is the environment changing around you putting everything together in it's rightful place. Smile instead of frown and you'll wear the crown. Faith in Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. I know it's true but it's so HARD to bear.
Have a wonderful day everyone- look the dragon in its face and tell it that you're going to slay it. You're going to knock it back on its heels and plunge your sword so deep in it's belly that it's going to look like puff the magic dragon by the time you're done working it. Believe in yourself. Step cautiously and avoid patches of oil and ice and broken floor boards. When bolts start to blow on your submarine head for the surface. This magical world we live in is so full of surprises, shock and wonder that I can't even understand it. I'm just thankful that the Gohonzon has shown me you!

hey hitman, don't worry, have no intentions to hurt myself, i'm doing it enough with my brains already 
p.s. i can see the confusion, i forgot a word hehe!
well to share my experience today:
i woke up angry from the last night, since i didn't get the attention i needed(was a hard day for both of us), i don't mean sex, just attention
well when i woke up this morning i had no other clues then just to wait a little if she'll do somethins...well she didn't as usually...so instead off waiting for her to leave to theu university and then chant, i took my anger, said a few fucking, asshole, shithole, buttfuciking words and then i wass off to Chanting Growers, writing, and then i went straight chanting trying not to focus on her and on our situation, just Nam Myoho Renge Kyo + gongyo...well the more i focused, less angry i felt, and when i carried on i though why not just showing her that i love her and that i understand how she feels now with all the fuzz going around(school, us, feelings etc.) with a simple hug and i love you bitch?
i did that and the anger was transformed in a different kind of cummunication that felt much deeper then just leting my anger take control...so not waiting for the cause to come, but rather making the cause
my goals:
whenever i'll get to the point that i'm just angry on her not understanding me and pissing me off, i'll grab my balls and my heavy brain infront off the Gohonzon and then i'll act and set the cause for what i want!
the funny thing is, i went chanting rock hard and still angry, but in a few moments after i started i felt a comforting sattisfaction in all degrees of Myself
i'm not saying i'll have sex with the Gohonzon but it's liberating to know that even a primal instinct can be transformed, that's an awsome thing for me to know!
i feel joy in not knowing what the rest of the day will bring, even though i haven't started it on the right foot
love ya buddhas!

The mystic principle that is the essential nature of phenomena
possesses two aspects, the defiled aspect and the pure aspect. If the
defiled aspect is operative, this is called delusion. If the pure
aspect is operative, this is called enlightenment. Enlightenment
constitutes the realm of Buddhahood. Delusion constitutes the realms of
ordinary mortals.

The arrogant hold tight to earthly attachments while the Buddhas rejoice with freedom
EasyDisco Shakubuku Tip From Personal Experience: Avoid Purchasing the Gohonzon (the donation you make when you get your Gohonzon) for friends or shakubukus unless it is a very special circumstance. I've recently helped three friends get Gohonzon and only one comes to meetings when we invite her and the other two have not enshrined their Gohonzon!
It was a horror to report that and I realize that I willingly received Gohonzon with pleasure and I think these three friends I speak of had a really different experience/introduction to this practice because of me and going forward I'll be much more careful. Now I have to really chant hard for them and connect with them and help them connect with others because practicing independently is soo messed up, I don't even wanna go there.
Many in Body and One in Mind, and I single-mindly seek the Buddha within and will help him shine even though I still make silly mistakes that I am really going to correct and avoid in the future.
Human Revolution is tough!

Just to weigh in here for a moment: One never "purchases" Gohonzon. One takes responsibility for the expense of the Gohonzon's production. The fee covers materials and air freight, and therefore, the fee is different from country to country and SGI organization to SGI organization. To call this a purchase is not the case as one never "owns" the Gohonzon. It is or should be received with the understanding that it is always to be returned and NEVER discarded. If it isn't handed down to a relative at the end of ones life (for the purpose of practice and not as a "keepsake" of the deceased), it is to be returned. Since one never truly "owns" Gohonzon, the fee paid is not a purchase price.
And to underscore the conclusion you have come to from personal experience Easy, NEVER DEPRIVE ANOTHER OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE FORTUNE IN THEIR LIVES BY BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FEE THEMSELVES. For whatever reason, I agree, it never seems to work out when we pay the fee for others. We put them in the position to possibly slander the Gohonzon by doing so. No one should receive their Gohonzon before they have even tried chanting! If they are chanting, there really is NO reasonable reason for them to not be able to afford the fee!!!
Encourage them to chant before you encourage them to receive Gohonzon.
I love you guys! Back home safe and sound! Lots to say this eveniong and weekend. Keep on keeping on!

The Daishonin states,
"(The element ku in the word kudoku means good fortune or happiness.)
It also refers to the merit achieved by wiping out evil,
while the element toku or doku refers to the virtue
one acquires by bringing about good."*
Brimming with the spirit to refute any injustice and all malicious lies,
let's speak out with words like that of 'the roar of a lion'
and cut down all evil forces and erroneous powers
that misguide people towards unhappiness and suffering.

Conspicuous and Inconspicuous Benefit
Conspicuous and Inconspicuous Benefit
(i) conspicuous benefit
Benefit that appears in clearly recognisable form. The term is used in contrast with inconspicuous benefit, or benefit that accumulates over a period of time and is not immediately recognisable. The Teaching, Practice, and Proof, a work by Nichiren (1222-1282), states: "Those who obtained benefit during the Former and Middle Days of the Law received 'conspicuous' benefit, because the relationship they formed with the Lotus Sutra during the lifetime of the Buddha had finally matured. On the other hand, those born today in the Latter Day of the Law receive the seeds of Buddhahood for the first time, and their benefit is therefore 'inconspicuous'." (WND-1, p. 474) This passage explains conspicuous benefit as the benefit of the Buddhism of the harvest (Shakyamuni's teachings), and inconspicuous benefit as that of the Buddhism of sowing (Nichiren's teachings).
(ii) inconspicuous benefit
Benefit deriving from Buddhist practice that accumulates over a period of time and is not immediately recognisable. The term is contrasted with conspicuous benefit, or benefit that appears in clearly recognisable form. In The Teaching, Practice and Proof, Nichiren (1222-1282) explains conspicuous and inconspicuous benefit, respectively, as the benefit of the Buddhism of the harvest and that of the Buddhism of sowing. Those who attained Buddhahood during Shakyamuni's lifetime and in the subsequent two thousand years of the Former Day and Middle Day of the Law had already received the seed of Buddhahood from Shakyamuni in the remote past and nurtured it over many kalpas until their capacity for enlightenment had all but matured. Therefore, they were able to reap the fruit of enlightenment when they practised Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings during his lifetime or in the Former Day and Middle Day of the Law. The fruit or benefit of their enlightenment was conspicuous and ready for harvest. In the Latter Day of the Law, however, people receive the seed of Buddhahood in their lives for the first time. The growth of this seed is not immediately recognisable. Therefore, the benefit of the Buddhism of sowing is called inconspicuous benefit. Practically speaking, conspicuous and inconspicuous benefits are not two different types of benefit but two different ways in which benefit appears. Inconspicuous benefit is likened to the gradual growth of a tree – the growth is real, but difficult to recognise in the short run. In the long run, however, the shade or fruit the tree provides can be conspicuously appreciated. In a similar manner, the inconspicuous benefit that derives from the practice of the correct teaching in the Latter Day eventually finds conspicuous expression in the present life of the practitioner.

Tonight my buddy (one of the three I mentioned that did not enshrine his Gohonzon yet), came over and chanted for 30 minutes and did gongyo! WOOOOAH! I'm still very pleased he called and came over after I did a half hour of daimoku after work. That is proof for me, and I have to get a bigger Butsudan so I can gift my buddy the one that has been working so well for me and then also get a bigger bell (GONG!!!!). I'm really really stoked about this new developement and woah!!!! My girl is going to do her second HOstess Beyakuren (YWD support staff volunteer like GLW was in her youth) and it is amazing! I'm so proud of her and tomorrow I'll home visit my buddy who I have to sit down with to make sure he chants but we gitterdone! My boy is really alot like us in so many ways and the kid has unlimited potential like me and it is just gravy to be a part of this!
