Finally I have paid the whole tour amount. If nothing copes up and there should not be, I will be setting out to the country which the UN does not recognise and where the wearing of red is not exactly recommended unless u decide u want to stay there permanently. Wear red for Burma too and I wore that colour on Saturday and Sunday n not on the Friday. Sorry, seems not that appropriate wearing red to work on Friday! Plus, I have no red blouse to flaunt anyway.
Hmm... last evening and this morning, we have our year end Kenshu for FD Ics. The topic discussed revolve on this Mentor and Disciple spirit or for short M & D spirit. It took me some time to register what M & D stands for cos the official theme for the Kenshu is "My Mentor & Me" so I was wondering what happens to the D or M.. Should it not be M & M? Sounds like chocolates which incidentally is one of my favourite brand of chocolates. Then, I don really eat that much too! What is M & D spirit? I gather it got to do with fulfilling our teacher's dreams. Ok, is a lot more than that but I don exactly want to reproduce wat I had learnt and heard! Besides FD chief, the other Youth division chiefs also turned up to elaborate more about this M & D spirit. I think is a personal experience that will be unique to each of us. How can we reach into our mentor's heart and how do we inculcate this into our FD members? The conclusions is then for me to think, live, breath and feel my mentor in my life and daily go abouts. In this way, we will be able to convince n bring forward this M & D spirit.
The second part of the Kenshu which was this morning is left for study lecture. It is the best every year. How do we then lead a life pulsating in rhythm with our mentor? 3 words - Choice, Compassion and Champion! We have the choice to change the life of ourselves and others and to bring happiness to ourselves and others! Simple words yet deep meaning within it! Guess I make it too simple here but then this is a blog and not a buddhist lecture and tutorial class. If I get too technical, i will probably fall asleep myself. Hahaha..
Lovely RHQ3 Ics. Chief says to retire gracefully from FD when it is time!
Last and not least. If anyone goes to see fortune teller and predicts your fortune! Never think it is fated and resigned to it. In buddhism and what the lecturer today puts it nicely, as practicers of Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism, we have the power to change our life and karma. Thus this is a buddhism of turning poison into medicine. We chant to bring out the best in ourselves, displaying high life condition and wisdom!
Let Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo shines through!
