I have huge challenges at work. I think I needed a change. I am working hard on the change. Every morning, when I go to work, I feel as though there is a veil in my mind, a shroud of cloud in between my mind and my perception is a more accurate description. I feel as though I am not as sharp as I wanted to be - I am in a plane of singular existence - I can hear and see people but they are in the other side of the veil and I struggle to reach out to them. I need to break through this mist. I need put in more efforts into my chanting to kick myself out of this downward spiral. I can do it! I will breakthrough!
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
