I heard a devastating news earlier, a YWD had witnessed her boyfriend sudden heart attack early on the morning last week in the kitchen. She could not do anything other than call for ambulance and chanted non-stop while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. It was such a traumatic news to me. I am glad that my inner state is much much stronger now. Hence, I just wrote to him to share that we must treasure each other and this love we have. There are things not within our control. If we can fight for it why give up. I really hope he will have the courage to come out and meet me if he really wants me to give up this relationship for good.
I will continue to encourage him daily. A lot of thoughts was running through my mind during my chanting earlier . None of the thoughts were negative but very inspiring thoughts . All action starts with me. I need to move forward towards my mission in kosen-rufu. When my mission is accomplished the answer I wanted will be revealed.
I read the whole chapter of Bold struggle . There were so many quotes from Sensei that was so inspiring that I had to share,
"Self-awareness means to awaken oneself, to become fully enlightened to one's essential nature. As Mr.Josei Toda did in prison, it is vital to gain conviction that one is a Boddhisatva of the Earth and to dedicate one's life, in the spirit of unity with the mentor, to realising the great vow of kosen-rufu. Our mission is to realise happiness and peace for all humanity. When this awakening occurs, it is as if a door opens in the earth of one who was previously concerned only with their own happiness, revealing the supreme and noble path of altruism stretching out ahead. This is the direct path to transforming one's life-state and to human revolution. "
I had gone through his reply again and again, I hope that I am not thinking of the worst of the situation that he might be in. If it really involves that "issue" , I feel that there is no way out but to face it bravely. I just hope that he will believe that I will be there and I will stand by him and wait for him, supporting him through the whole process. I believe he meant me well and does not want to implicate me in his situation . I had Google numerous articles relating to the "issue" and it seems that there is no way out other than face it.
"Everyone has some kind of problems or another, and the purpose of Buddhist practise is to enable us to vigorously challenge and overcome hardship. In the process of doing so, we can strengthen our life's foundation and, through these endeavours, we can further solidify our conviction in faith and thus put much more effort in promoting kosen-rufu "
