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...

If I were to make an allegory, thought and philosophy would be like the heart or respiratory system of the human body. When the heart is sound, the whole body can maintain healthy activity. This same principle applies to both the individual and society. The SGI has a mission to serve as the heart that ensures the healthy functioning of society. Consequently, taking good care of the SGI, (the heart) allows the fresh life-giving blood of humanism to flow to and nourish all areas of society, including culture, politics and the economy.

Oh no... this 2 weeks gonna fill with tests, presentations, life saving exam and maybe Home visits...I'm a bit lost on what to do now. Cannot procrastinate anymore.

Well, went for training at sentosa. Forgot to put my shorts in my bag, ended up buying a new one for 21 bucks. Crazy man. Went to surf and canoeing ,sprinting with seniors plus beach run. Looks like i need to train my stamina. My timing is like damn slow. (FYI: my friend's record is 2min 5 sec for canoeing and sprinting along the beach.)

Went home after that, didn't manage to go anime fest at suntec. Took a nap till around 5, had dinner before going for zhanlankai. I was the emcee for the meeting. Guess I'm abit nervous, sweated like nobody business. Overall it went well.

Well nothing much to update about this week. Nevertheless, I told myself that i must at least one breakthrough before my next zhanlankai, so that i can share with my district and sd members.

To conclude to entry for today, I will share a gosho passage. It said;

"From the Gosho, The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra:
"Faith alone is what really matters. No matter how earnestly Nichiren prays for you, if you lack faith, it will be like trying to set fire to wet tinder. Spur yourself to muster the power of faith. Regard your survival as wondrous. Employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra before any other. Then, just as the sutra says, "All enemies are crushed." These golden words will never prove false. Believe them wholeheartedly. The heart of strategy and swordsmanship derives from the Mystic Law. A coward cannot have any of his prayers answered."

Boring Sunday...

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.

For the next weeks, the stress level will be increasing. Projects, reports, tests and spls are gonna be tough for me. On top of that, I need to arrange hv for my members to pass them the saha diary.

Nothing much to talk about here.

Time to go...

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.
