Unbreakable Happiness

Asai Sensei’s Guidance

Asai Sensei was deeply moved by the fact that the Jobutsu state of Kenshokai members were just as the Daishonin said it would be.

Nichiren Daishonin said:

At the threshold of death, between life and death, Nichiren Daishonin will come to meet us without fail.

Reply to Mr. Ueno

*Jobutsu: Proof of happiness in future life can be seen on one's body after they die. The Daishonin declares this law: "When people die, the body will darken and become very heavy if they fall into jigoku. Jobutsu is gained when the body becomes very light, softens and brightens.

During the Covid pandemic, more than 28,000 people joined Kenshokai.

The plague of Covid was caused by the slander of Nichiren Daishonin’s teaching.

Therefore, Kenshokai is not afraid of Covid, but is sharing Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo vigorously while being careful so they can save the people and the world from the root cause of suffering.

Yo-Hai Gongyo

Asai Sensei explained Yo-Hai Gongyo (遥拝勤行 – praying from afar toward the Kaidan no Dai Gohonzon in Mt. Fuji).

It is the most important and foundational practice of Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism. It’s a testimony of loyalty to the Daishonin.

Originally, the construction of the Kokuritsu Kaidan (国立戒壇)*at the dawn of Kosenrufu (広宣流布)* is Nichiren Daishonin’s sole testamentary order.

_{*The Kokuritsu Kaidan is the ordination platform to be built in Mt. Fuji, where the Kaidan no Dsai Gohonzon will be enshrined.
*The dawn of Kosenrufu is when all people in Japan believe in Nichiren Daishonin and chant Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo.}

For over 700 years, it has been a long-cherished ambition and purpose of the Nichiren Shoshu school to build the Kokuritsu Kaidan and complete the Daishonin’s testament.

This has been passed down to his successor, Nikko Shonin the 2^nd high priest, and then the 3^rd high priest Nichimoku Shonin, as if water was transferred from one vessel to another, until the 65^th high priest Nichijun Shonin received it.

However, Daisaku Ikeda, president of Soka Gakkai threw away the Daishonin’s last testament, the Kokuritsu Kaidan, without hesitation for the sake of election of his political party, Komeito (公明党).

In order to accomplish this outrageous act, Ikeda kept himself hidden and made it look like it had been voluntarily decided by the Nichiren Shoshu main temple.

Sadly, the high priests agreed with Ikeda and betrayed the Daishonin.

The Committee members of Nichiren Shoshu denied Nichiren Daishonin’s testamentary order of the Kokuritsu Kaidan and made a false hall, Shohondo,and said it was the Daishonin’s final Will.

Declaration of Dissolution

Among the Nichiren Shoshu schools, only Kenshokai stood by the Daishonin.

If you went against Soka Gakkai and the head temple Nichiren Shoshu, you would be slandered as an organization that has disobeyed the high priest, and will be banned from meeting with the Kaidan no Dai Gohonzon.

Asai Sensei asked himself:
“Would Nichiren Daishonin be pleased we abandoned the final Will of the Kokuritsu Kaidan? In fact, I am sure the Daishonin would scold me! I continued to admonish Nichiren Shoshu and Soka Gakkai, choosing loyalty to the Daishonin even if Kenshokai gets kicked out.”

Daisaku Ikeda saw this and ordered the head priest (the 66^th high priest Nittatsu Hosoi) to dissolve Kenshokai.

Four years later, on August 12, 1974, Kenshokai was disbanded.

The Kaidan no Dai Gohonzon (est. Oct 12^th, 1279) was secretly entrusted to the second high priest Nikko Shonin, as a hidden Buddha to be kept in the Gohozo (Treasure Storehouse) until the time of Kosenrufu.

A long time ago, those who had strong faith were allowed to make a special visit, but today it is outrageous to use the Kaidan no Dai Gohonzon for money making purposes. Nichiren Daishonin will strongly rebuke us for this!

Hence, there was no such thing as a “Gokaihi” (opening the door of the Kaidan no Dai Gohonzon to allow people to visit the temple) in the early days.

Therefore, to open the altar of the Kaidan no Dai Gohonzon for the purpose of making money, as is happening today, would result in punishment by the Daishonin.

Every morning, after the Ushitora Gongyo* prayer, the successive priest had relocated their seats and used to pray toward the Kaidan no Dai Gohonzon, which was enshrined in the far-off Gohozo (Treasure Storehouse).
_{Ushitora Gongyo*: morning prayer service between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m}

That is why the false hall, Shohondo which cost 35 billion yen to build, collapsed. In yet another unprecedented event, the main door of the Kaidan no Dai Gohonzon refused to open.

Kenshokai was forced to dissolve because of the Daishonin’s Will.

How could Nikken Abe (the 67^th high priest), who was qualified to transcribe the Gohonzon when he had committed so many acts of disobedience to the Daishonin show no shame in doing so?

In fact, Kenshokai is striving to complete the final Will by practicing the same Yo-Hai Gongyo prayer as the second high priest Nikko Shonin and the third high priest Nichimoku Shonin. Thus, we are remaining loyal to the Daishonin. (忠誠の証).

The fact that such an evil priest is coiled up in the Nichiren Shoshu head temple is a sign that the “evil of the Latter Day of the Law” has reached its final stages in the Nichiren Shoshu school.
In this case, the way to pray is directly to the Kaidan no Dai Gohonzon, not to the Gohonzon as transcribed by the evil priest, Nikken Abe.

Asai Sensei said:

Distance has nothing to do with our faith.

No matter how far away we are from the Daishonin, if we believe in the Daishonin and chant Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo with yearning and devotion, we will immediately be connected to the Kaidan no Dai Gohonzon in Mt. Fuji, which is the Daishonin’s embodiment.

In this life, we will be protected, and on our deathbed, we will be able to attain Buddhahood. Our life after death, will have tranquility and peace.

As per Nichiren Daishonin’s prediction:

 “When unprecedented wars and invasions of other countries” are about to occur, as predicted by the Daishonin, all of Japan will be chanting Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo.

And then, when the fervent devotion of all the people of Japan to the Daishonin becomes one, and the will of the nation is declared, the Kokuritsu Kaidan will be built on Mt. Fuji.

Extreme weather on a global scale

The reason why I strongly believe that the completion of Daishonin’s final Will is right around the corner is because World War III, a “conflict of unprecedented magnitude,” is approaching.

As a foreshadow of this great war, large-scale abnormal weather patterns are now occurring on a global scale. As a result, various regions are now overflowing with refugees.

According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the number of disasters caused by floods and droughts increased from 711 in the decade of the 1970s, to 3000 in 2010s. The number of refugees has increased to 30 million, three times the number of people affected by conflicts. Furthermore, projections for 2050 warn that up to 216 million people could become refugees.

At that time, there will be a natural disaster.

An unprecedented great war will break out all over the world.

Nichiren Daishonin – Senji-Sho

This extreme weather, which has caused a huge number of refugees, is a sign of an “unprecedented great war”.

Inflation and Food Crisis

And now, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we have the makings of World War III. This invasion is unlikely to end early.

If prolonged, the whole world will be plunged into inflation and a food crisis.

Inflation is already serious in the U.S.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor on April 12, the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) for March increased by 8.5%. In Turkey, the CPI for March was 61% higher than the same month a year earlier.

The entire world will eventually be hit by this inflation.

The reason for this is that Ukraine and Russia together export 30% of their wheat and 20% of their corn to the rest of the world.

Russia is also a large exporter of oil and natural gas. If these were to be halted, the impact would be felt throughout the world.

Japan is suffering from hyper-inflation
and a food crisis

There is no doubt that Japan, which is totally dependent on imports of oil, natural gas, and food, coupled with the weak yen, will finally face hyper-inflation and a serious food crisis in the future.

This is precisely the situation in the world that has been transformed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

China and Russia are a de facto military alliance

China, the second largest military power after the United States, are de facto allies with Russia.

While all the free world countries diplomatically boycotted the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, Russia’s Vladimir Putin attended and had a secret meeting on February 4th for an hour and a half alone with China’s Xi Jinping.
Twenty days later, on the 24th, the invasion of Ukraine began. Everything must have been discussed and planned at that meeting.

These two countries are joining forces to destroy the current U.S.-led international order. No one country alone can stand up to the U.S., but they believe that if they work together, they can.

North Korea also has nuclear missiles

North Korea has been developing nuclear weapons while keeping its people in a state of starvation. This year North Korea has repeatedly conducted nuclear missile tests. These nuclear missiles target the U.S. mainland and the Japanese archipelago. Behind this is strong support from China and Russia.

China, Russia, and North Korea are the axis of evil

China, Russia, and North Korea are truly the “axis of evil” in the world.
They are all military dictatorships, and in Buddhist terms, they are nations of the Shura world. Shura-world nations are always oppressing their people inwardly and invading other nations outwardly.

Currently, there are 13,000 nuclear warheads in the world. Russia has the world’s largest stockpile of nuclear warheads at 6,255, far ahead of the 5,550 held by the U.S., which is in second place.

Russia has a new missile to be deployed by the end of the year

On top of that, on April 20, Russia’s Defense Ministry announced the successful test launch of a new type of ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile), the “Sarmat.”

This “Sarmat” is one of Russia’s largest ICBMs, capable of carrying 10 to 15 nuclear warheads with a destructive power that could devastate an area equivalent to the state of Texas in the United States. Its range is 18,000 km. In addition to the conventional Arctic route, it can also attack the U.S. via Antarctica and it is said that it could be deployed in actual warfare within the year.

Putin has boldly stated, “It is a new type of missile that can fly avoiding all modern missile defense systems.

Furthermore, Putin has stated many times that if Russia is in a crisis, he will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons. If the odds are stacked against Putin, there is no doubt what he will do.

Also, China has been trying to “unify Taiwan” for some time. They will eventually watch the timing and launch an invasion.

At that time, the Senkaku Islands and Sakishima Islands (located at the southernmost end of the Japanese Archipelago) will become a battlefield.

If Taiwan is taken, the sea lanes leading to Japan will be blocked, and Japan, which depends on imports for its existence, will face a crisis of national survival.

Even if the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty exists, the U.S. will not take military action to protect Japan for fear of an all-out nuclear war. If a crisis were to threaten Japan, they will say: ” Japan should fight for its own country.”

There will be a bloodbath in Japan by China’s nuclear missiles. This is precisely what the Daishonin has predicted.

The only one who can save Japan and the world is Nichiren Daishonin, who has immense power and virtue to address all the Shoten Zenjin ( The Force of the Universe).

Therefore, the Daishonin described the situation of the impending world war in the following sentence:

Never break my oath to be the pillar of Japan, the eye of Japan, and the great ship of Japan.

Kaimoku-Sho

When people die and fall like rain into the hell of incessant suffering, the leaders can save the nation, and free people from calamities if they believe in the Great Gohonzon of the Precepts and chant Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo. They can escape from the great fire of hell.

Niiama-Sho

The third secret law is the one that remains to this day.
This is the secret of how the leaders of the land should use this law to defeat warfare at the beginning of the Latter Dharma War, when other countries are in difficulty and when World War is about to break out.

Shijukuin Moushijo – The 2nd high priest Nikko Shonin

The Daishonin uses this great punishment to make people believe wholeheartedly all at once in “a time of great turmoil in the world” then “a time when invasion from another country is about to take place”

We will be able to see this great realization with our own eyes.

What a wonderful opportunity for Kenshokai members to be born in the final stage of the spreading of the teachings and can be a part of this great salvation.

Let us teach Nichiren Daishonin’s immense virtue, great compassion, and mercy to all Japanese people. Let’s all do our best to fulfill the Daishonin’s final testament so that Japan becomes a Buddhist nation, and its vibrations will transform the earth into a land of tranquility!

With that, I conclude.
