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! |
