磨砺生命,方能发放光辉

吕美雯, 马六甲

学会女子部员对我关怀和鼓励有加的举止令我非常感动和愧疚。我痛下决心不再逃避问题。

Experience Melaka Loo Wei Wen自我懂事以来,家里就吵吵闹闹。父亲没有稳定工作,经常酗酒,酒后与母亲吵架、动粗。我只能躲起来哭泣。

幸好当时阿姨带我参加少年部活动,信仰日莲佛法。升上中学,我更积极参加学会舞蹈组和其他活动。女子部前辈的关心与鼓励,令我备感温暖。

我的小学成绩不理想,学会前辈鼓励我一定要用功读书,祈求自己有智慧学习。经过向御本尊祈求,同学们都乐意教我,老师更免费让我参加补习班。我没有辜负众望,在马来西亚教育文凭(SPM)考获六科A, 甚至多次不及格的科目也获得A!老师们为我的改变感到骄傲,颁给我优秀奖状。

2011年我到吉隆坡拉曼大学就读化学工程系,母亲在这一年也开始唱题。由于父母无法承担学费,我申请了高等教育基金贷款(PTPTN)。然而大学五年的课 程超乎我想象的深奥,我应付不来,成绩经常不及格,因而失去贷款资格。母亲为了我,厚着脸皮向亲戚借钱,甚至掏出退休金给我当学费。父亲也拼命工作,即便自己挨饿,也将工资给我作生活费。

我不想父母为我辛苦,萌生放弃学业的念头。但是脑海涌现 池田先生的指导“放弃的话便是失败,唯有‘决不放弃’才可成功。”我鼓起勇气坚持到底。

我向御本尊认真唱题祈求,一定要找到兼职,减轻父母的负担。不明就里的同学却讽刺我说:“你成绩都那么差,还要打工? ”

池田先生曾说,“勇气,不只是要勇敢地面对,更是明知道害怕,还要去挑战!”尽管困难重重,我仍抱着不放弃的一念祈求。
此时,我遇到一位好老板。他知道我的上课时间紧凑,不但提供满意的薪水,甚至允许我在工作空闲时间温习功课。由此,我筹得超过一半的学费,大大减轻了父母的负担。我坚信,这都是唱题的力量。虽然忙碌得很疲惫,但是我依然决心挑战,务必兼顾学业、工作和广布。

2016年,我全科都顺利过关,有的科目成绩还超越同学,真喜出望外。

毕业后我在一间手套厂工作。上司是一名完美主义者,为了完成工作,即便我加班到深夜,仍被批评工作效率差。渐渐地我无心工作,加上感情、人际关系、经济等的诸多烦恼,我封闭自己,不愿与其他人接触。这时的我也几乎放弃唱题,只是形式化地参与学会活动。

为了逃避工作压力,我于2018年辞职。机缘巧合下,我回到拉曼大学继续深造硕士课程,并获得大学助学金。当时单纯地认为,终于可以开始新生活,不需要再面对工作的烦恼。然而,我的教授竟也是完美主义者。无论是我做的试验、论文和学习态度都被他痛批。最令我担心的是,教授的评估将影响我是否能够继续获得助学金。

我再一次跌入谷底。在我最绝望时,有一位学会女子部员给予我温暖的鼓励说:“雯,我对你有信心。我们一起回到文化组吧,好吗?”我答应了。

起初我并不认真。但是每一次的文化组练习,这位女子部员都为我准备早餐,还约我共用午餐,对我关怀和鼓励有加。之后我才获知,其实她已经五个月没有领薪水。她的举止令我非常感动和愧疚。我痛下决心不再逃避问题。

我每天认真唱题,实践人间革命,虚心接受教授的批评,做好每一件事。同时我也积极参与学会活动,包括担任2019年和平之跑开幕舞蹈的负责人之一。之后又参与森美兰分会的“神韵中华”演出。这些经历丰富了我的个人成长,培养了更深层的使命感,并使我能够为社区做出有意义的贡献。

我的认真处事态度,渐渐赢得教授的青睐,不仅给予我高评分,而且托我协助其他的学生。教授还将我们的论文参与在印尼巴厘岛举行的国际研讨会。最后,我的论文在上千份论文中脱颖而出,获得最佳论文奖!

后来,我被马六甲一间手套厂录取为化学师,而且酬劳也比市场的高。之后上司告知,实际上是我的人生改变过程深深打动了他。他也与其他员工分享我的奋斗,从而激励他们。由此我深刻体会,一个人的人间革命,真的能化为他人的希望之光。

2020年新冠疫情暴发,施加了许多工作上的限制。我有重要项目在身必须返回公司工作,有的时候需要加班到深夜。公司破例给我额外津贴,并加薪和给予超过一个月的花红。上班大约半年即获得公司赏识,令我非常欣慰。

自开始认真修行日莲佛法以来,父亲不再酗酒,积极工作,家里的经济也大大改善。我的学业与工作都取得比预期更大成就,真的非常感谢御本尊的守护力量。我将继续成为他人的希望之光,以此回报师匠池田先生及学会的恩泽。

摘自2022年6月份《宇宙

Siow Yoon Kee had a long-standing ambition to become a doctor since his secondary school days. However, his motivation to save lives had not taken deep root.

During his college years, he battled gastrointestinal diseases and sought medical treatment from numerous doctors but to no avail. Coupled with a demanding schedule, he experienced immense stress and despair, even contemplating ending his life. Eventually, through the power of chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo (daimoku), he realised that his illness was a consequence of an irregular lifestyle, and acknowledged his own arrogance and negligence in his faith. This profound experience led to a shift in his perspective on the purpose of becoming a doctor.

After graduating, he was filled with joy and excitement on his first day of work, being addressed as a doctor. However, that excitement didn’t last. The overwhelming workload, long hours, and the constant fear of being reprimanded for mistakes quickly diminished his initial joy. As a result, the tough realities of the job made him less motivated and less excited about the work he had to do.

Yoon Kee reflected, “I would feel annoyed by patients, especially during night shifts when they complained of pain. I would question them with a skeptical tone. It seemed like I had become a terrible doctor, losing my passion for the job. During those unpleasant days, it was through repeatedly chanting the daimoku that I gradually reflected on my own attitude.”

“I recall a training session for the Beacon Group, a medical group within Soka Gakkai Malaysia, where our seniors encouraged us to face the Gohonzon with our most authentic selves. Inspired by their guidance, I wholeheartedly put it into practice and truly felt the profound joy that daimoku brings. Chanting the daimoku is indeed the greatest of all joys.”

Doctor Siow Yoon Kee

The power of daimoku awakened a profound sense of compassion in Yoon Kee, inspiring him to strive in his human revolution and towards becoming a doctor who could genuinely listen to his patients’ voices.

“After a change in mindset, it was incredible how I found myself wanting to treat patients like family and making an effort to truly listen to their words. My colleagues also noticed that I was more energetic and confident.”

However, transformation takes time and effort. Yoon Kee realised that the biggest hurdle for a doctor is their own sense of superiority. Therefore, his aim was to cultivate resilience and to serve selflessly without seeking personal gain. With the goal of becoming a skilled listener, step by step he made steady progress.

“Once, there was a patient in the final stages of cancer who told me he felt hungry and wanted something to eat. Although I was busy with work, I took a couple of minutes to feed the patient before tending to other patients and resuming my duties. Sadly, the patient passed away thirty minutes later. It was a moment that made me appreciate the power and significance of chanting daimoku, as it enabled me to be there at a crucial time and fulfill the patient’s last wish.

“On another occasion, there was a patient who complained to me, pointing out, “You see, my hands are still swollen, and the medication you prescribed is not effective!” In that moment, I patiently reassured the patient, emphasizing the importance of trusting in the medication’s effectiveness. I assured them that if they maintained their belief, they would experience improvement quickly. As a result, after a few days, the patient’s hand recovered, and the swelling subsided.”

Yoon Kee’s transformation became increasingly apparent over time. Through the practice of faith, he has been forged into becoming a doctor with a sense of mission who confronts the challenges of society with determination. While he humbly recognizes his own areas for growth, he consistently emphasises his resolute dedication to becoming a proficient listener and continuously improving himself.
