So both Anne and I have developed this neck and shoulder ache. We think that it is due to our mattress. Yesterday, we saw Dunlopillo having a 50% sale and we went to the shop. The promoter, a nice gentleman, thinks that it is the pillow and not the mattress. Bad mattress gives you back ache (near the love handle) and not neck/shoulder. We listened and bought two latex pillow from him - not even Dunlopillo brand.. I'm very happy because instead of spending thousands on the mattress, we spend a couple of hundred on 2 pillows. After trying it for a day, it seems to work! Is it physchological? I don't know... hmmmmmmmmm.. We'll have to monitor more...
In April 2008, Anne and I started our resolution to chant 1 million daimoku in one year. It's already Jan - and I am only one-third of the way. I really need to WORK HARDER - coz I made another 1 million resolution from Jan - Dec 2009. The chart you see on the right of this post is a chart that we put beside our butsudan. It tracked our chanting progress. Every 20 minute, we coloured one box. Mine is the one on top, Anne's at the bottom - you can see that she made much better progress than me! Hmmm.. come to think of it, I am not even at one third!! --- Edit 22 March 2009: Thanks to Google, a couple of friends in faith found this post and they want to know how many hours of chanting is required to achieve one million diamoku. Here it is. Based on our publication in Malaysia, 20 minutes of chanting is equivalent to 1,000 daimoku. So, one hour is 3,000 daimoku. 1 million would take about 333 hours. --- Edit 8 April 2018: Checking my blogger stats, this post is pretty hi
