Long time no see

I know, it's been a long time, sorry guys~~

I was and I am still very busy for exams, dissertation, Gakkai activities, self-learning, etc...

I trying my best to do 3 hours of daimoku everyday, at least a short section of Gosho and the Sensei's novel "The Human Revolution", Japanese language learning, preparation for final exams, and 3 dialogue for kosen-rufu. I have not yet been succeeding every day, sometimes I fulfilled these but neglected others - but I'm really doing my best!

Lots of changes within these few months...It's a long story!
Where shall I begin?

Hmm...I'm chanting vigorously every day for everything - wisdom, Buddhahood, mum, Ikeda sensei and Kaneko san, family and friends, study, etc. My current biggest challenge is - firstly, of course - my dissertation. I'm having difficulties in recruiting participants, only 10 out of 108 parents responded to my recruitment - gotta chant a lot to have great fortune and wisdom!

Secondly, I'm chanting and studying really hard to get full scholarship to further study in London U and Soka U Japan - long story again so I have to make it short. It's really a great protection from shoten zenjin that I came across these two scholarship application - am currently applying for the London U one - wanna continue my study in MA Museums & Galleries in Education. I'm praying hard to study in SOka U at the Soka Education Research Institute. When I chant I firmly know that these decisions are so right - I must get all professional trainings that I need to dedicate myself to kosen-rufu and the propogation of Soka Education to the world!

That's why I'm learning Japanese now, cos I want to master Japanese before I study at the Soka Edu Research Inst - I have to read all books written by the three presidents of the Soka Gakkai - Makiguchi sensei was the founder of Soka Education; Toda sensei and Ikeda sensei carried out the mission to promote their mentor's ideal and put it into realization - here comes the Soka Education System =)

And me - I have a great mission in fulfilling my mentors' will - to elucidate a wonderful path for all humankind to attain happiness - my lifelong career compromises the art, culture, and education field.

Gotta read "The Human Revolution" now and chant for a while more before I sleep.

Most of the time I'm really exhausted and sleepy. But when I think about Ikeda sensei - his ceaseless effort and selfless dedication to kosen-rufu - how can I slacken even for a moment? I can't stop, otherwise I'll delay the advancement of kosen-rufu.

また さよなら
(mata sayonara, lit means see you, goodbye)

Remember, never ever slacken for just a single moment, otherwise devils will take advantage.

See ya, bye bye =)

Dilemmas

It's complicated...I just have to chant more and more and more and more and more~

Education? Child and educational psychology?
Get into dancing again?
To move out or not?

Keep chanting, the power of daimoku is incomprehensible; what you think in front of the Gohonzon will be true. Let's redetermine and make concrete actions again!

Ganbatte kudasai!!!

Do your best!

I feel quite bad now...but never mind, there are so many important things in life. I will never be afraid cause I have gohonzon with me. Sensei says:"There's no coward in gakkai!" I don't want to be a coward. Yes I feel sad, but never let your emotions and heart to alter your ichinen - be clear about what you want to do and what you should do, he taught me this.

And he told me this, sensei says:"Human heart is fickle..." Therefore I MUST chant lots of daimoku to establish a strong and firm ichinen.

No prayers will go unanswered, no effort for kosen-rufu will be wasted - base your life and faith on daimoku and kosen-rufu, the buddha gods will surely protect you.

Jane, nothing is more important than your faith and kosen-rufu, you should never forget this.

Gambarimasu!

Guidance that move me forward...

~Daily Encouragement~
"...simply clinging to our life will not result in attaining genuine happiness. It is by establishing a fundamental purpose and pursuing the correct course in life - ready to face any hardship this might entail - that enables us to experience a deep sense of joy and fulfillment. If we allow ourselves to be controlled by shallow desires and begrudge our lives at a crucial moment, then our hearts will wither and only misery and regret will await us."

Seikyo Shimbun - March 6th, 2009

"In the light of the above points, this shows, my followers, that you had better cut short your sleep by night and curtail your leisure by day, and ponder this! You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come."
(The Problem to Be Pondered Night and Day - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 622)

"Life without hardships may seem more attractive, but it is a shallow, lackluster thing."
(by Daisaku Ikeda, taken from www.ikedaquotes.org)


Dear friends,
Do you ponder or day-dream on your bed every morning? When you do, you have two choices: to dream what you like to dream of, or to get up and exert each moment with full effort to realize your dreams. I'll choose the latter one, I hope you will too =)

All the best,
Jane Woo

I feel the pain...
When I received the camera tripod that I ordered in purpose to take beautiful pic when we go for Europe trip...
I thought I've forgotten....but it came into my heart again...
I feel the pain...but I'm not regret...

I thought I won't go for the Europe trip, but now I think I might go for it alone =)
I can stand on my own, I don't want to seek for accompany anymore...
I'll go for it if it doesn't clash with my future job....
