Experiences

I started chanting daimoku (Nam-myoho-renge-kyo) in Primary Two. My mother encouraged me to chant, telling me that I could improve my studies by chanting daimoku. Initially, I just chanted for the fun of it and was easily distracted. Without putting much effort in my studies, I received unsatisfactory grades for my Primary Two end of year examinations. I broke down in school, fearing that my mother would scold and beat me. A good friend witnessed it and upon returning home told his mother what happened. His mother in turn called my mother immediately and advised her not to punish me. To be spared from the rod seemed like the first benefit of faith tome at that time!

I was a very cheerful and outgoing person leading a carefree life and flying around the world as a leading stewardess with Singapore Airlines. Life was alright until I married and had children.

I used to attend Soka Gakkai meetings with my mother but lacking understanding of Nichiren Buddhism, I stopped upon entering secondary school. After obtaining a Diploma in Psychology and Community Services and wishing to give back to the community, I needed a degree to embark on my chosen career path. Unfortunately, my grades and financial situation did not allow for it.

I started chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo since I was in preschool and with the encouragement and support of my family, regularly participate in Soka Gakkai Singapore (SGS) activities as well as contribute to the Members Contribution Fund with my own pocket money.

When I was born, only my mother was practising Nichiren Buddhism. The rest of my family took up faith later and currently everyone is exerting themselves in the advancement of kosen-rufu.
