Compassion is the very soul of Buddhism. To pray for others, making their problems and anguish our own; to embrace those who are suffering, becoming their greatest ally; to continue giving them our support and encouragement until they become truly happy-it is in such humanistic actions that the Daishonin's Buddhism lives and breathes.
BOO! One day gone without doing my revision. Good luck to myself.
Wasn't myself since this morning. Went to see flint 5 gathering before heading for training.
Went to make my islander pass while waiting for my friend. My pic was kinda look weird, should have bring my ic photo to make it. Haha.
Reached palawan beach with the seniors at around 9 plus. Did swimming, surfing and canoeing for around 6 sets plus 4 capsizes and bites from the sea bugs . Kinda pissed with the board as the handle was faultly that hinder my launching.
Went off to siloso beach to join the gathering. Both YMD and YWD chiefs were there having dialogue with the flint 5 students. Managed to invite both of them for our flint gathering. We have also invited all flint 5 students to this gathering. So just to advertise here...

The Daishonin explains the significance of cause and effect: All sutras other than the Lotus Sutra expound that Buddhahood (effect), can be attained only after having made good causes, that is, practicing their teachings (causes), over a length of time. With the Lotus Sutra, however, the very act of embracing it (cause) enables one simultaneously to become a Buddha (effect).
WELL WELL WELL... As usual, I didn't go for morning gongyo earlier in the morning with my parents. Slept until 12 noon before having my brunch ( breakfast + lunch). Went to Ntuc for grocery shopping. And here I am, resting before commence my studies.

Qoutes
Do you give up the struggle to overcome your own limitations on the first attempt, or do you keep on with it, trying a second time, a third time, and continuing on in the challenge for the rest of your life? That is the only difference between the genius and the ordinary person.
