[261123] Sensei's memorial prayer & Yongji's farewell...


Sensei, I will continue to send you daimoku. 

I’m glad that I was able to make it to Sensei’s memorial prayer yesterday. Initially planned to do Yongji’s farewell at southern island, but he fell sick and not in a good shape to be exposed to sun. Ended up we went to sing K, which left with 1-4pm. So I could go for one of the memorial sessions in the morning (thankfully my district session was later time). 

When I was in the hall, they have placed a photo of Mr Ikeda on the stage. Because I arrived early, gongyo hasn’t started. The moment doshi started leading the gongyo, I almost couldn’t complete my very first recital. Cause my eyes swell with tears, I thought I was ok and you know, calm over it, not actually. All the emotions seem to have surfaced, and ache in my chest is real.. (as if I did acupuncture on my chest, the post effect of the “sourness”). Throughout the session I have to think about being positive, otherwise I really couldn’t continue the prayer. 

I strongly believed Mr Ikeda has impacted many of his members, although I may been astray from my faith, I’m one of them who has his faith imprinted in my life. 

Thank you, Sensei! 

YJ's farewell @ NSTeams Khatib
Thank you for the wonderful day, being able to be there for both important events!

Sensei (Mr Daisaku Ikeda), you have taught me what is faith, life and humanity (& more). I will continue sending you daimoku no matter how aching my inner self feels.
