Good evening everyone.
I Minakshi
My journey in faith began in 2017 after death of my father in law.
But I have been practising it regularly on daily basis since March 2018.
Through these 4 yrs of my practice I have been greatly benefited by kindling hope within myself at the time of deadlock and despair,courage at the times of adversity, so as to transform my sufferings into pillars for joy while continuously striving to succeed in bringing happiness for others.
During the 1st wave of covid I was with my mother at my native place.
My husband and my children were at their different work places.
My husband was alone at Delhi for 4 months.But he could manage everything beautifully during that hard lockdown period.
My mother fell ill when I was with her. I have started chanting vigorously 3 /4 hrs daily for her speedy recovery. During lockdown period it was very difficult to manage hospital duty for us.
But that hospital was good and their management was good with all covid protection.
But Just after 7 days of hospitalization of my mother she took her last breath.
A comrade in Faith shared sensei's experience from the vow chapter of *NHR30* of losing of his son " triumph in Sensei's words I realised that it is to be expected that all souls of hardship and tragedies will arise in the process of striving for Kosen rufu and that genuine faith enabls us to confront anything that Happiness without fear or doubt."
My mother's cremation and all rituals went well peacefully. Nobody of my family members and relatives got infected by Covid 19.
My husband could able to come back to Odisha with full protection.
Sensei says " The path of kosen- rufu is a long ongoing series of struggle from which we can never retreat .
My Son was at London .
He had a job which was his dream job in UK .
He joined that company in February 2019.
But for Covid 19 pandemic he lost his job .
They gave 3 months of notice period to leave that job.
That time lockdown had started all over the world. After 3 months his working visa would have expired .After that he had to come back to India. But coming back to India would be difficult because of Covid restrictions . Back in India also it was difficult to get a new job that time.
I put my complete trust in the Gohonzon and chanted Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo . I should not be defeated.
Sensei says that" the Daishonin notes 3 characteristics that define the faith and practice of practitioner of the lotus Sutra that lead to absolute victory. That remaining unwavering and resolute in Faith.It is the great vow to live one's life solidly based on the mystic law.It means not having the slightest doubt, hesitation or fear in one's heart.
That time I determined to perceive everything that was happening through faith and transform the situation into a foundation of the law to uplift my son's life condition.
After just one week of leaving that job mystically my son got a new job without any interview .He got working visa through that new company.
As parents we often said him to pay gratitude to the Universe and God for the new job.
Because of that new job he was able to stay over there and could search another job of his choice.
The way to do that is to assiduously chant to the Gohonzon in a spirit of gratitude elevate our life state and establish a condition of absolute happiness.
The great path to indestructible happiness is found in consistent chanting of daimoku on terms of both suffering and Joy.
I chanted wholeheartedly with conviction I attended all gakkai activities and daily study.
My son was showered with appreciation from clients ,seniors, manager and colleagues of the previous company during his farewell from the company.
Till the last working day there he continued to work hard to fulfill his commitments and was acknowledged as a star former.
Just after 5 months of new job his old dream company took back him again with a decent hike in salary.
Now before 3 months he also got promotion and he is very happy with that.
Every single daimoku I chanted has shown us new hope. I know I can challenge and change any obstacles and I will have complete responsibility of my family's happiness and victory.
All my family members are surrounded by a protective layer of a Mystic Law.
I resolved to devote myself to my practice like never before.
I determine to lead lives of victory fragrant with flowers of happiness.
With deepest gratitude to Gohonzon for continued protection .
I determine to strengthen my Buddhist study and read the NHR ,value creation..
I determine to illuminate as like as sun for my family.
Thanks
