Human Revolution, the Musical

SGM Selangor Youth Division is putting up the "Human Revolution, the Musical" in conjunction with the 80th anniversary of Soka Gakkai Founding. I went to see their practice today. I was really touched by a few scene together with their music composed and arranged. Towards the end I encouraged them to continue finish reading the Human Revolution novel and chant more daimoku for the great success of the musicals. I am too challenging the same. Must finish the novel within 2010! My promise to my Mentor.

Rise! YMD! Rise!

Read about how Sensei expand the rank of the YMD to 1000 during his First Corp leadership assignment in 1953. Coincidentally it is also the target I set for gathering 100 YMD per Honbu for our new 10 Honbus start next year 2011. We are talking about launching a campaign to gather 1000 YMD strength for SGM Selangor.

Tonight I shared this vision with the other YMD Region chiefs and the way how Sensei prepared for this great campaign. Urging them to give it a good thought on how well we can achieve this epoch breaking record for YMD in Selangor. KP, YL, GH & JN enthusiastically shared their thoughts on how we can make it for 2011.

2011, YMD in Selangor must rise! Rise to a level we have never imagine before. To be able to report to Sensei on our Ever-Victorious YMD story.

Lion Roar of a Chief

Tonight we watched the SGI 39th HQ Meeting together in kaikan. LP, VC & CM shared their experiences attending the meeting themselves together with mentor. Especially touched by VC on his frank sharing that he cried so many times during his entire kenshukai in Japan.

Both JC & I had a chat with our Region Chief after the video session. Listening to his lion roar-liked encouragement on how youth should challenge our weaknesses and cowardice. Being a great chief in Gakkai does not mean problem-free. But a great chief will face his problem boldly and challenge head on without any pretense. Encouraging everyone who are facing problems now to challenge together and win. He shared this with us tonight:

When problem arise, the wise will rejoice and the fools will retreat.

I must fight on to develop myself to be able to have such life condition. A life condition that encompasses all those are challenging their individual problems and circumstances.

24-Hour Duty @ SGMS

Yesterday was my second 24-hour duty in kaikan for the year. Got a news from Region Chief in the morning JL got violent again and chanted an hour Daimoku for him. GW group on duty was YK. We both went to a few photography trips together. We shared our opinion on the importance in photographing Gakkai activities to leave a track record of kosen-rufu history in Malaysia. Read an article on how Sensei train the Suiko-Kai in 1960. Sensei was very strict but his affection for his youthful disciples has never been a question. The article truly make me think of how a true mentor foster his disciples.
