2010 I have
My first Kick-Off Meeting (been invited every year though).
due to the heavy snow, it was postponed to early February.
Not only was my first time participating in the KickOff meetings,
but it was also my first time taking up the role of Lilac Chief.
As you may easily anticipate my tendency:
My first Kick-Off Meeting (been invited every year though).
due to the heavy snow, it was postponed to early February.
Not only was my first time participating in the KickOff meetings,
but it was also my first time taking up the role of Lilac Chief.
As you may easily anticipate my tendency:
I had moved my belonging dependency onto Amanda.
When I am up over the roof, I want to share with her,
When I am up over the roof, I want to share with her,
And she will always share the joys.
When I am low tothe ground, I have to tell her,
and she willalways have solution from her wisdom.
From 2007 tonow,
the gates of Koy’s moody friendship,the academic criticism towards my study and the interactive karmic connection between my dear mommy and me have all solved by Amanda’s suggestions of wisdom.
These solutions aren’t the practical external methods of problem-solving.
Rather, they are the sophistication of learning self-environment relationships.
Through these years, Amanda is not only asenior member of SGI,
She is a close friend who maturely supports anydecision I make;
She is a family who sooths the struggling sideof me.
In the past two years,
there have been many chaotic situations occurring to Aberdeen district:
there have been many chaotic situations occurring to Aberdeen district:
The Girls’ misunderstanding without openhearted one-to-one talk,
The members’ Decision pressure of either agreeing to receive Gohonzon,
The complicate personal karma involves or dragspeople down in the pond.
…
Now, after these series of complex situations,
Amanda is taking a short break from holding orattending meetings,
And I am here for her. I shall be growing upalready!
A very long time, I relied on her emotionallyand I had been behaving like a good child yet ignoring the need of growingmaturity in religion.
This year, 2010, is the year for me to standstill and let Amanda proud.
I am taking up the Young Women Tozo this Marchon the Youth Day.
(The Youth Day when I met and joint Amanda’sYoung Women meetings)
I am starting my first self-initiative KamakuraCampaign alone yesterday.
(Additional an hour diamoku for 12 Days startsfrom the day after my Birthday 2010)
Sensei asks every individual member
to forge the Stand-Alone Spirit to advanceforward on the road of victory everyday!
Amanda kept saying this quotation before in themeetings,
However, I have just had the capacity to digestit these days.
Only through the hardships and obstacles, wewould be courageously progressing.
That is why it’s now!
