Quotes (:

"Though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra will go unanswered."
(WND, 345)


"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground"
(WND, 444)


"You can say sincerity and integrity all you want, but unless your action match your words, it's pointless."
- Josei Toda


"When you become confused, it's is always advisable to return to where you started and try to be as simple as possible. You will then be able to see the heart of the issue with unexpected clarity." - Josei Toda

"This lifetime will never come again; it is precious and irreplaceable. To live without regret, it is crucial for us to have a concrete purpose and continually set goals and challenges for ourselves. It is equally important that we keep moving toward specific targets steadily and tenaciously, one step at a time." - Daisaku Ikeda

"Buddhism teaches that earthly desires lead to enlightenment. Though we may experience problems in life, through the power of the Mystic Law we can use them as the fuel to ignite the "fire of wisdom" and transform our sufferings into enlightenment. This is key teaching of Buddhism."
- Daisaku Ikeda

waaa.. i'm finally back posting.
have been a very hectic week for me man.
anw, everything is over but!
there is still EM3A exams going on on monday! =.-
AHH!! i dun wan any exams! =P

well, ytd was NPSD daimoku-kai at Rachel's place
and i do need to admit that i've been not going for NPSD meetings
ever since after i came back to Singapore.
well, but at least i went and I've learnt a lot of things
i also shared something from the CL.

what i shared was on the question of Life and Death which was on April CL.
there was a Youth Leader asking about Life and Death
and i just extract the part where i wan to share and here i go..

Youth Leader: Some people take the attitude, "I'm still young. I don't need to think about such things (Life and Death) now. It can wait until I'm old and at death's door."

Ikeda Sensei: Well, perhaps we can look at it in the following way. Suppose we have a first year Junior College (JC) student. She wants to set her plans and goals for her first year in JC. But she can't meaningfully do that unless she first decide on what her plans are for the whole duration of her time in JC.

Youth Leader: That makes sense.

Ikeda Sensei: So then, she tries to plan her entire JC career. But now she finds that, unless she thinks about what she's going to do after graduation, she can't do it wisely either.

we can use the above extract on our studies.
as wad Sensei said, "But she can't meaningfully do that unless she first decide on what her plans are for the whole duration of her time in JC."
that "she" here can refer to us, student
unless we know what we want to do in future like
"What job line do i want to enter?"
"What do i want to achieve when I'm older"
"What can I do to contribute to the society?"
if not, we can't wisely plan on our goals and target and will eventually
lost the initial state where we know why we want to get into this course and school (for poly)
or why want to get into this subject and school (for JC)

so we must plan what we want to do in future before we plan what we want to do now.
well, i think this is something that is quite chim..
anw, i've got to go now alr.. Bye.. XD
