In tenacious human nature. “The People are Champions” The story shows perfectly how faculties or phenomena that are apparently inexplicable by natural laws, toughness works.
Humans are the treasure of the universe. Our presence is enough to witness how we transform the forbidden or the unfortunate into smiling people, those who were sad into less sad ones.
The story holds this promise of a human heart that when come together to create the matter that accomplishes the creation of new life.
Giving one’s heart for a new creation, a new life, new environment, can be difficult, especially if we are hurt by disappointment or pain. But it will bring us back to life, it will bring us closer to the one who has always been by our side.
Adjeley nodded, it seemed as if it had happened to my parents. When my father gives his whole heart to my mother they become an astonishing force, he becomes an inspirer, a role previously reserved only for my mother.
Then make us understand, Kofi said brokenly to Miss Joselyn; are we endowed with such powers in all people?
Miss Joselyn : looked at the class and walked to her table and said; when you see a naked person or a wounded person what do you feel inside you?
Deeply apprehending the truth that when viewed from the fundamental perspective of life, everyone when you see such unpleasantness your heart which is the Buddha in you opens up to do something about it, or bow in reverence to take some action, right?
It seems that it will be hard to walk over the situation or you will lose confidence and walk over with words like; is he drunk? or is he okay?
There aren’t many teachers like me who can say it out loud, so I’m very confident! ️
I don’t think it’s okay if you worry about it.You will call someone, neighbours, police or an ambulance to hospitalize that person.
The treasures of the heart may be invisible to the eye. But when these inner treasures are given concrete expression as respectful actions toward others, they demonstrate and prove to others the power of the Mystic Law and the Buddha nature within all of us.
To help cover the naked man or the woman, or to help hospitalize a person is all an act based on respect for others, it aims to refute the error of those who disrespect others.
Premised on this understanding, Nichiren indicates that, even in the evil and slanderous age of the Latter Day, we need to act prudently and respectfully rather than simply rushing in to refute error.
Fully and unequivocally stating the truth is also a profound respect. The Latter Day of the Law is an age rife with distrust and fear stemming from a society in which people are not respected, and life is held in low regard.
In such an age, speaking out means standing up alone and resolutely holding high the banner of respect for human beings and the sanctity of life.
I do understand; Adjeley said. I am deeply interested, she said, in the idea of human beings achieving their own inner transformation.
How did we get here as a country? Kofi asked.
Do You mean, What got us here? Miss Joselyn whispered.
Ghana during the Gold Coast, was home to communal values such as family, respect for the elderly, honouring traditional rulers, and the importance of dignity and proper social conduct reformation that marked a new age in Ghanaian history.
The arrival of the Europeans in the 15th century into the then Gold Coast brought Christianity to the land.
At the beginning of the 16th century, as the clergy grew more corrupt, as Christian teachings devolved into empty formalities, and as the Church became more secularised, the chiefs together with priests authorised the sales of Ghanaians lands.
It was announced that by selling your property to the Church, believers would have their sins forgiven and go to heaven.
The class grew quiet. Kofi did not, and questioned this practice of faith, if salvation could be bought only through selling our properties?
Well, Miss Joselyn exclaimed. Since a reformation was launched by Kwame Nkrumah with the approach for a religion that exists for people’s happiness, a religion that can free all Ghanaians from suffering, must flourish, envisaging the development of peaceful and democratic Ghana.
The challenges facing Ghana today are complexly interlinked and wide-ranging.
That’s why I sought to deepen my ties with you, to build a solid network of young people with wisdom for the sake of peace and prosperity for Ghanians, and generate a groundswell to shape the times.
Even if someone sees you as a failure, you should never look at yourself that way.
If someone berates you because you are Northerners, Ewes, fantes Ashantis or Ga, you don’t have to succumb to the negative message of their words.
Unperturbed by the negativity of others, grit your teeth, keep your feets strongly on the ground, and keep believing in yourself, chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo of the Daimoku and face the challenges head on, with all our might, in unity.
( Thank you all.)
