Abraham Lincoln the 16th president of the United States once said "Truth is generally the best vindication against slander."
I totally agree, and feel assured that I am part of the Nichiren Diashonin Budhism group that are my all time strength providers.
"Budhism teaches the law of cause and effect as it operates in life. In other words, by aligning our lives with the underlying law of the universe and transforming ourselves through human revolution, we draw out the inherent life force that resides within us and establish a life condition of happiness."
'Budhism teaches the way to build a state of absolute happiness in this life for both self and others and the path to happiness to all eternity. It teaches the way to lasting peace and prosperity for all humanity."
"Budhism teaches the need for 'the wisdom of the truth that functions in accordance with changing circumstances."
So ... Update
Two weeks of winter break with a four year old is grief enough, but to be fair to A he has been fairly accommodating and somewhat doing his thing, he is God's truest blessing upon me, my life force. Without detail I too have been through the most difficult time of my life this gone month, the terrifying tempest has subsided and peace and quiet abounds my house yet again, and I owe it totally to the mystic law and my family of fellow practitioners. They have held our hand, both G's and mine and navigated us back to wellness. From a place of gratitude I share something I was deeply moved by.
Lessening Karmic Retrbution
A person's karma is created by his / her thoughts, words and deeds.
It is not created by the actions, words and deeds of anybody else, no matter how closely related they may be.
This knowledge helps us to stop blaming others and feeling like a victim.
We create our own karma, building our tomorrow on the foundations we lay today.
What we are dealing with today is a consequence of our thoughts, words and deeds in the past.
In 'Lessening Karmic Retribution' Nichiren Diashonin states 'If one's heavy karma of the past is not expiated within this lifetime, one must undergo the sufferings of hell in the future, but if one experiences extreme hardship in this life, the sufferings of hell will vanish instantly."
Due to benefits accumulated through consistent, steadfast faith and practice one can lessen, in terms of both time and intensity, the karmic retribution that one would otherwise have to suffer over a longer period, even several lifetimes.
The term Karmic retribution literally means, 'transforming the heavy and receiving it lightly'.
"Heavy indicates negative karma accumulated over countless lifetimes in the past. By experiencing minor sufferings we can expiate negative karma that would have brought greater suffering."
President Ikeda states " There is no such thing as a life that is free of hardships. We experience hardships precisely so that we can achieve true peace in life. But unless we are aware of our inner strength to withstand hardships, we will find ourselves in a situation where one difficulty gives rise to another and we will ultimately be crushed by their weight. The principle of lessening Karmic retribution explains the quintessential power that resides within ourselves and enables us to withstand hardships.
The Important thing is how we change our attitude or inner resolve at this moment. This is because we can freely create our future through our determination and action right at this very instant."
Lessening one's Karmic retribution is not a simple settling of accounts; it implies a findamental transformation of our lives, whereby we put a stop to the negative cycle of suffering and delusion and enter a new positive trajectory of happiness."
Reach out with total empowerment, compassion and love ..... eventually things will turn around. And the pragmatic world that spreads negativity secretly wishing the worst for you, what you wish for others eventually comes around in double for you.
