Nine Years On

And so. Today is the 9th year anniversary since I met my mentor Daisaku Ikeda in person.

Have I done enough to help him fulfill his great goal of Kosen Rufu?

[ Kosen Rufu = A vision of social peace brought about by the widespread acceptance of the Buddhist core value of unfailing respect for the dignity of human life. ]

Need to reflect on myself seriously and renew my vow before the Gohonzon.
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.

As the school bell softly rings

As the school bell softly rings

Time to say our farewells

We are no longer the same

After the hours spent together

It is your struggle and your toils

That brings a new clarity

To the window of wisdom

That shines forever within

As we blundered our way

We learn to find our paths

Hearts filled with treasure

We set sail with confidence

Let every youthful hearts venture forth

Into the great ocean of life

Riding every waves

Braving every storms

A thousand thoughts this day

With a single thank we sing

Cherishing gratitude in our hearts

As the school bell softly rings
