i just finish a vibrant 30 mins daimoku and i felt so refresh !!! This two days have been really fulfilling, every minute were spent wisely. i felt that ive been praticing faith merely from the force of habit for sometime. I'm suddenly in this realisation world that i must get back my rhythm of life, to get back the life force to continue my life here in melbourne. it's like an empty shabby one bedroom apartment is now transformed with newly furnished furnitures! mind my analogy, ive been hunting for new accomodation for the last few days, went to inspect numerous apartments and only to come back to my latest decision that is to continue staying for another 3 months in my current accomodation. =p i arrive to this decision after thinking about it 345823 times, and after analysing the pros and cons for 582930 times. anyway, back to my enlightenment, when i was chanting just now, i start to see everything in my life in the positive way, getting back all the energy from the universe. things like what i'll be going through in sem 2, how things would turn out to be and how to contribute more in gakkai activities. i still remember one of the things that came about during the pillow talk i had with yw and wl the other night, was to make a difference here in australia, particularly in kosenrufu and the environment that surrounds us. as taught in buddhism, every single thing in our life is related to us, and life is made of the things around us. caring this line with me, i realise that if we were to make a change in our life, if we were to create good causes, positively, things around us would be influence by our action in some way or another, and ultimately, that's the difference that we as human being is making. with that, i planned to attend tomorrow's meeting at the kaikan to join in the prep meet for aug's kosenrufu meet. its been a while and now is the time to do it again. =)

in relation to the causes that we make would influence others, i was labeled a 'good samaritan' today! let's not go into details (of how kind i was =p hehehehe!) anyway, all i did was offering help to this girl and her dad. and a little more help when i realise im quite free today. never thought i would get anything in return BUT coming back to me, i earned a free scrumptious lunch at chinatown, numerous thanks and most importantly the feeling of contentment and fulfilment. =)
