Can't find the words to say thank you, for the gift

I am a practitioner of life affirming philosophy of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism and a member of Soka Gakkai International, a lay Buddhist organisation which is based on the teachings and philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism. On July 3 it was Mentor-Disciple Day. We, members of Young Women Division(YWD), had a meeting at area level(area covers the whole city). We initiated the meeting with an hour of daimoku(chanting). Chanting was followed up with a brief discussion on the significance of this day and also the significance of July 19(Young Women's Division's founding day). After this five YWD's from the area received gifts for their magnanimous efforts. I too got one. Though this gift sent by my mentor Dr. Daisaku Ikeda is so simple(it's a gakkai notebook) I feel so honored and overwhelmed to know that it has come all the way from Japan!! I wish I could thank my mentor personally, or write him a letter but as this is not possible I have determined to create a golden record of my brilliant victories and share them with my fellow Gakkai members and also report them to Sensei Ikeda by November 18. Nov 18 is a red letter day in the calendar of Soka Gakkai. November 18 is the anniversary of the establishment of the Soka Gakkai and also this year it marks the completion date for the new SGI headquarters building in Tokyo .The New Soka Gakkai Headquarters will be inaugurated on 18 November 2013! So exhilarating. Just 136 days to go. Not much time to go.I have renewed my determination to be victorious basing my life on the teachings/ Gosho's of Nichiren Daishonin and able guidance of Sensei Ikeda and Sensei Toda.

It's a long way to the top..If you wanna Rock 'n' Roll

We often find ourselves at a crossroads in our career. I too am in a similar situation where I have to choose between an array of fields. I have to be specific, a field I want to venture into and then stick to it like forever. It's easier said than done. I chose Bachelor's program-me in computers three years back. It was an easy choice. I wanted to do a professional course. I wanted to be called a professional. and also I have dreamed of settling abroad, in some foreign land. Yes I fancy that.I wanted to do Master's in same program-me later. But now I'm so confused. Confusion has started pouring in because of suggestions from lay-men. Some people tell me to do Master's in Business Administration(MBA). This degree is so much in demand. Some tell me to apply for a job and start earning as I'm old enough. And others tell me to study seriously to clear my entrance exams!! I cant choose!! I can't focus.


It was never like this...I was so sure 'bout my career. Being a young woman they also tell me to keep in mind that the profession I choose should not eat away my time. I should be able to devote time to my family when time comes. What also bothers me is the dynamic working environment. The pressure to re-invent oneself on a daily basis. Such worries thwart my dreams.


I am a dreamer and that too a proud one. My dreams make me feel so rich. The journey between germination and fruition of ideas is so long. It needs a lot of perseverance and patience. as if I'm supposed to be a demi-God...partially potent, partially omnipresent! But my mentor Dr. Daisaku Ikeda tells me that these worries are a part and parcel of a student's life. They are normal. I have been chanting to direct my life on the right path to victory based on wisdom.


To conclude, I'll quote lines from my favorite song By AirBourne...

My minds made up, I'm leaving today
Come hell or high water, I will break these chains

Diggin and clawing and scratching and kicking my way;
Back to the top I will fight for the light of day;
Gonna find the way yeah
