Morning chanting of 10,000 times, 601st time: Encouraged by chanting the daimoku, moving on to a new chapter! On my 68th birthday, I renew my determination for human revolution

Yesterday, I was able to celebrate my 68th birthday.

In the morning, I chanted the daimoku as usual and started my day feeling refreshed. Then, I had my favorite breakfast at a nearby cafe. The time I spent slowly sipping my coffee while enjoying the soft sunlight streaming in through the window was a blissful moment that could not be replaced by anything else.

In the afternoon, I went to Tochigi Prefecture. I bought new mats for the shop and chose a book for my grandson's birthday present. It was a very lively day.

I also took this opportunity to get some physical maintenance that I had been neglecting for a long time, and I was able to refresh both my body and mind. Looking back on the day like this, I am filled with gratitude.

By practicing the teachings of Soka Gakkai and continuing to chant the daimoku, I realize that I am able to continue to grow every day.
This birthday in particular feels like the start of a new chapter for me.

Now that I'm 68 years old, looking back on my life, I can see that I've faced many difficulties and obstacles.
However, each time I was able to overcome it with the help of my teacher's teachings and the power of chanting the daimoku.

Meeting my fellow members of Soka Gakkai has also greatly changed my life. I would like to continue sharing Buddhism with many people, without forgetting the spirit of shakubuku.

I myself also want to continue working hard towards human revolution.
This birthday was an important day for me, as it marked the start of a new resolution.

I would like to continue to take chanting the daimoku as encouragement, keep my mentor's teachings in my heart, and believe in my own potential, in order to soar high.
