March 27th was when we celebrated kosenrufu day at IPC.This time unlike all other times i took part in something different from dance.i took part in the discussion.The discussion is a "casual gathering of friends" where for the benefit of new members we discuss some basic questions in our faith. I was given a question too. My question was "why are our prayers not answered immediately and sometimes they are not answered at all?" I was probably a pain to listen to..whiny and excited on stage but i think i did conquer a major part of my nervousness.
what i thought the answer could be:
1)Maybe we are not praying the right way.Because i think praying the right way reflects our attitude towards our own life. So if im unsure about the results while praying to the gohonzon then the gohonzon is unsure about what i want and that delays the process?
"The power of the gohonzon is beyond the comprehension of our minds.That is why we call it mystic.Our challenge is to think of results AS the gohonzon.which has no limits.With this kind of faith you can tap the infinite power of joy, gratitude and victory"
2)Faith and conviction
"The result is the reflection of your faith in gohonzon.Wjatever you are asking from the gohonzon will be TRUE for you.Are you thiking faliure or Victory? are you asking gohonzon how to solve your problems or are you pouring your hearts desires infrontof the gohonzon with unlimited trust?"
3) Protection
somethings better in store for us
4)Human revolution
If my prayers were answered overnight. i think i would grow lazy and begin totake evrything for granted.All good things are worth the wait arnt they? Through the struggle that we put through we are bound to develop as an indivisual.
the fact is our prayers arent stagnant.we are silently evolving and reflecting towards and inconspicous benefit that could take us a while to identify.
Where's the button to click to write a comment in the most recent post? It you didn't want comments there? But I want to tell I feel like that most of the time, especially in the last months, and it isn't good, but I also can't give up or I'll not have someone to clean me from the ground, if you understand what I mean. Life is good but it most of the time sucks :) maybe we are just passing throw a phase and soon it will be like in films, I have hope.
