为后疫情社会加温!

黄露馨, 吉隆坡

我每天面对的都是与生死搏斗的人们。他们战胜癌症,就令人鼓舞。当有病患不敌癌症过世,就令人沮丧。所以,我必须拥有强大生命力,才能与病患一同在生死间作战。唱诵题目就是我生命力的泉源。

大学一年级那年,一位同学邀请我参加创价学会的活动。第一次参加的是充满活力的创价日,会员满面的朝气,吸引了我继续应邀出席活动。

独自从吉隆坡到登嘉楼读书的我,对于壮年部、妇人部员的热心照顾,如接送我参加活动、额外准备食物让我带回宿舍等,都倍感温暖。

大三时,因为没有被分配到宿舍,一位妇人部员让我到她家居住。我也因此得以每天维持唱题一小时。接着,我开始阅读学会刊物、出席座谈会,还担任《希望的种子》展等展览的导览员。

我自小性格独立、好强。在学会活动当中,我最大的收益就是受教于学会员关怀他人的态度。

有句话说,朋友让哀伤减半、喜悦倍增。如果不与他人往来,确实自在惬意,但用心关怀身边的人,生活才能有温度。

自小我和父母的关系不甚亲密,对家人态度冷漠。逐步贯彻信仰当中,池田先生教导的“一家和乐的信心”特别强烈地留在心里。信心不是观念,必须实践。于是我鼓起勇气,阔别两年主动与父亲说话,打破沉默,修复了家人应有的和乐关系。

陪伴生死作战的生命力来自题目

大学毕业后,我在国立博特拉大学修读临床营养学硕士,专注研究癌症病患的饮食与心理。毕业前,为了搜集论文资料,我用了五个月的时间,在国家癌症中心采访200位病患。他们不吝分享自己的病痛经历,令我十分感激。

他们的故事,也都烙印在我心里。为报答他们,我决心好好学习,培养能够服务癌症病患的实力。

毕业后,我到国家癌症中心担任饮食治疗师,将这里作为自己实践决心的场所。我在这里工作了约三年,除了为癌症病人提供饮食咨询,全力鼓励病患勇敢面对疾病也是我的重要工作。

我每天面对的都是与生死搏斗的人们。他们战胜癌症,就令人鼓舞。当有病患不敌癌症过世,就令人沮丧。

所以,我必须拥有强大生命力,才能与病患一同在生死间作战。唱诵题目就是我生命力的泉源。

工作的热忱来自患者的笑容

如何应对昂贵的治疗费是许多病患的困境。而确保病患,特别是儿童病患能够获取足够的营养,也是我的工作。我会尽我所能帮助患者争取免费营养辅助品或以优惠价购买。

新冠疫情暴发的这两年,我的工作也有了许多变化。看护人员不足够时,我也留宿中心协助。当冠病病患人数高涨,医院被迫推迟癌症患者的治疗时,我就竭尽所能,通过电话鼓励不安的患者。

此外,我也配合其他工作人员,安排派送米、奶粉、干粮等食物给所需的患者,确保家庭收入受疫情影响的病患,依然能摄取足够的营养与癌搏斗。

很多人都认为患病就是弱者。其实,我对工作的热忱全靠患者的笑容支撑。而且,每一位来到国家癌症中心的患者,都肩负着使命。很多痊愈者都会愿意投入志愿团队,协助其他病患。通过他们顽强的抗癌故事,必将引发社会人士的关注与援助。

此外,我最感激他们教导我要为死亡做准备,而我则以竭尽全力地度过每一天作为回报。

在上司的多番鼓励下,我鼓足勇气报读了博士学位。我立志以不懈的钻研精神提升专业能力,为民众贡献更大的力量。

池田先生说:“人生的价值,只有在辛劳和使命中产生。”我要秉持人生师匠池田先生的生命哲学,不惜音声,为后疫情社会加温保暖!

摘自2022年1月号《宇宙

When I first entered university, a classmate invited me to an SGM meeting. The members’ high spirits and vitality at that first Soka Family Day meeting inspired me, and I was eager to attend more such activities.

I felt a lot of warmth when I went to Terengganu alone from Kuala Lumpur to pursue tertiary education. The members of the men’s and women’s divisions took good care of me by sending me to SGM activities and preparing extra food to take back to my hostel. These actions filled my heart with warmth.

I was not allocated hostel accommodation in my third year. Thus, a women’s division member invited me to stay at her house. I was happy that I was able to carry out my daily one-hour daimoku chanting with ease. In addition, I attended SGM meetings, read more SGM books, and was also involved as a narrator for the “Seeds of Hope” exhibition.

Ever since young, I have always been an independent and strong-willed person. One of the most significant benefits I gained while engaging in SGM activities was being considerate and caring for others.

There is a saying that goes, “Friends halve our sorrows and double our joy.” If we do not interact with others, our lives may be comfortable, but if we can care for others sincerely, our lives will experience great joy.

I was not close to my parents since young and treated them coldly. After taking up faith, I engraved SGI President Ikeda‘s advice to practise “faith for a harmonious family.” Faith requires action. After two years of not talking with my father, I summoned the courage to do so and made an effort to create a harmonious relationship with my family members.

The Life Force to Fight Against Life and Death Comes from Daimoku

After completing my degree, I continued to pursue a Master’s degree in clinical nutrition at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). I studied cancer patients’ diet and mental health, and spent five months at the National Cancer Institute interviewing 200 patients to gather data for my thesis. I was grateful for their honesty in sharing their struggles.

Engraving their stories in my heart, I resolved to study hard and to become a truly compassionate caregiver to repay my gratitude to them.

After graduating with a Master’s degree, I worked as a dietitian specialising in oncology nutrition at the National Cancer Society of Malaysia, where I lived up to my resolve. I’ve worked here three years. I also encourage patients to bravely face their illness these days.

Every day, I have to face the patients’ life and death struggles. I would feel encouraged and happy for those who recover from their sickness, but for those who lose the battle, I would feel great sadness.

Hence, I need to have strong conviction and vitality as I confront each day. Chanting daimoku is the source of my strength.

My Passion at Work Comes from the Patients’ Smiles

For many patients, one of their biggest obstacle is the high cost of treatment. My job is to ensure that they, especially children, get enough nutrients. I would do my best to help patients receive free oral nutritional supplements or to receive them at discounted rates.

For the past two years, the pandemic has affected my job.

When more caregivers were needed, I would stay back and help. When the number of COVID-19 patients rose, hospitals had no choice but to delay treating cancer patients. I could only try my best to encourage those who felt troubled.

I also cooperated with others in sending rice, milk powder, and dry foods to patients who needed nutrition to fight the disease despite their reduced income.

Many think that these patients are “weak.” But for me, the smiles on their faces give me the strength to continue working with passion. Everyone at the National Cancer Society of Malaysia has a mission to fulfil.

Many former patients also volunteer to help out other patients by joining our workforce. Their tenacious stories of battling and winning against cancer will surely attract the public’s attention to extend help to others.

In addition, I am grateful to the patients who taught me about being ready to face death at any time, encouraging me to live my life to the fullest every day.

With my supervisor’s support, I mustered the courage to apply for a doctoral degree. I vow to continue striving harder to upgrade my skills to dedicate myself to society with more strength and capability.

President Ikeda once said that the value of humanity emerges from undergoing challenges. Hence, I will uphold the life philosophy of President Ikeda, my mentor in life, ignoring critics’ voices and striving to create warmth in a post-pandemic society!
