YWD dialogue campaign

Hi all my fellow comrades of Hougang South! how are all of you doing? to ensure that this blog is constantly up and running, i will be posting more updates.. starting from the YWD 20,000 dialogue campaign..

YWD will be holding this 20,000 dialogue campign with the aim of expanding membership and also in commemoration of Sensei's visit to Singapore 20 yrs ago in 1988. Plus, we will also be commemorating the 50th anniversary of 3.16 where President Toda passed the baton of Kosen-rufu to the youths.

For those ywds who are still not aware of this campaign, it is actually a very simple but tedious task to going about to share with your friends about this Buddhism.. Can be on the phone, or even juz during a simple lunch or dinner. Most imptly is how we treat this campaign as one to look beyond our personal challenge and suffering to share with another person.. and of course to let another person come into contact with this Buddhism, with Ikeda sensei and to know about this Buddhism.

See the pic above? the while lil smiley thing is called the 'MayBell' which is a kind of flowers that droop as it grows. Sensei hopes that ywds should always be like the maybell.. to be humble especially when we acquire greater knowledge or leadership.

and we have targeted to complete a jigsaw puzzle of 1,000 pieces by completion of the 20K dialogue.. wanna see it??

so.. *drum rolls* pls allow me to share with you the latest updates for the campaign.

We are @ 5746 today from 2485 three days ago, a jump of 3261 dialogues in 3 days... momentum is picking up now and remember to involve our YWD Mbrs/Bels in this campaign too..

Though we have 14254 & 16 days more to go... Let's continue to Jia you ne..

and we have a target to achieve 10,000 by this weekend.

Please come down for the Youth Prayer Meeting tonight, 730pm at TBSC to catch a glimpse of the jigsaw puzzle!!

FINALLY,

allow me to share some guidance from Ikeda Sensei:
