2008年初，大學同學洪三喜鼓勵我入信，成為家中第一粒妙法種子。當時我雖然只有單純地唱題，在一週內就成功挑戰一件棘手的事，體驗到題目的偉大力量後，每天更加勤勵唱題。
透過前輩鼓勵
開始積極參加活動
同年4月，傳播業界開放實習機會給大學生，就讀大傳科系進修部的我，要與學校日、夜校生近一百人爭取僅有的兩個名額，我除了認真製作履歷資料外，更認真唱題祈求，題目的力量真的不可思議，竟然順利錄取。聽學姐說，我是第一個夜校生被錄取，這是我的初信功德。
雖然靠著唱題創造了體驗，因很少參加活動、不了解大聖人佛法，一旦面臨較大的考驗，便很容易被擊垮，尤其是一直以來考驗著我家的經濟苦。入信兩年後，終於在一位中壢女子部周怡君關懷與鼓勵下，我決心透過題目來挑戰經濟苦，從每天唱題10分鐘提升至40分鐘，連續唱了兩個月後，家中經濟仍沒有改善，我既氣憤又懊惱，再加上受到他人影響，讓我信心跌落谷底。直至2011年，前往基隆參加一次座談會中遇見張勝利大哥，透過他的鼓勵，讓我找回對題目的確信，同時因為女子部林雅苓的細心照顧，教導我許多正確的佛法，開始積極認真活動。
創造工作勝利體驗
引導弟弟參加活動
2011年，我加入人才單位傳播部。當時正好想轉換工作跑道的我，第一次立下以百萬遍題目挑戰的決意，傳播部的共戰夥伴成為諸天善神，幫我投了電視台履歷，面試時與主管溝通都應答如流。後來公布面試結果雖然沒有錄取，但是我絲毫沒有懷疑，深信御本尊一定會有最好的安排。果然，大學實習時認識的一位戲劇製作人打電話給我，邀請我擔任一齣電視劇的後製統籌，於是成功轉換工作，創造以題目為根本找到理想工作的勝利體驗。後來得知原本面試落榜的那家電視台，由於擴台不成，當初錄取的那批新人全部要被裁員，再次證實御本尊真的是做了最好安排。
家人的幸福與健康，一直以來都是我關注的。從大學開始就住校的我，畢業後北上工作，長時間住在外地，心裡最掛念的就是親愛的家人，由於無法陪在家人身邊照顧他們，唱題成為唯一能在遠方守護他們的方法。自信心以來創造許多體驗，心想妙法如此偉大，一定要讓家人領受信仰的功德，於是開始立定引導家人入信的目標。為了讓弟弟理解信心的美好，我常刻意在家中各處放置池田會長的著作《青春對話》、《女性抄》，果真吸引弟弟的注意，並透過前輩積極請高雄男子部聯絡弟弟，我認真祈求弟弟一定要與男子部相談甚歡。之後，接到弟弟來電表示，有學會大哥家訪他，彼此聊得很投機，於是弟弟出來參加活動了。
鼓勵媽媽入信
以信心挑戰病業
除了弟弟之外，剛開始向媽媽提起希望她來信仰妙法，她一直沒有意願。直到2014年6月初，媽媽意外被檢查出左邊乳房有硬塊疑似乳癌，醫生安排取出硬塊檢驗，得知此消息時，向來, 的媽媽崩潰了，看到媽媽在我面前嚎啕大哭，真的很心疼，我哭著抱著媽媽，緊握她的手堅定地告訴她，要她不用害怕，我們有御本尊。御本尊讓我實現了那麼多的目標，這次也一定能夠變毒為藥，有女兒與學會員努力為她唱題，絕對會沒事的，更鼓勵她靜下心唱題。
住院期間，婦人部阿姨陸續來探視媽媽，我更抓緊機會向媽媽訴說我的體驗，要她開口唱題。誠如御書教示：「因病起道心」，媽媽不再像以前一樣直接拒絕我，開始常常默念題目，祈求自己傷口趕快復原，硬塊化驗的結果是良性的。
檢驗結果出爐，雖然硬塊確定是乳癌，但很幸運是第一期，醫生告知，媽媽須接受放射線治療，我再次鼓勵媽媽， 一定要透過唱題好好挑戰這次的病業。而鳳山光復地區的阿姨們在半個月內，每天晚上來家裡陪媽媽唱題半小時，並找挑戰過相同病業的會員來鼓勵媽媽，媽媽就在阿姨的陪伴下，確立唱題的習慣及信心。當放射線療程結束後，醫生宜布癌細胞已全數殺光，更在回診時告知媽媽，她身體的器官，並沒有因為放射線的照射而有損傷，所以媽媽勝利了！
所有的事都絕非偶然，媽媽這次生病有太多福運，如同醫生表示，媽媽乳癌硬塊長的位置非常難檢査到，若不是當天檢查的護士非常仔細，根本檢查不出來，要是等到可以輕易發現時，媽媽就只剩兩年壽命了。再者，媽媽開刀還不太會痛，真的如同佛法「變毒為藥」的法理。媽媽除了透過信心戰勝病魔之外，並通過2014年教學部員任用考試，更懷抱感謝的心在活動中陸續發表體驗，並於2015年1月1日敬領御本尊。
決意發揮專業
認真培育廣布後繼
我在台北製片公司上班，在媽媽放射線治療期間，我拚命祈求工作一定要有空檔，讓我能無後顧之憂地請假照顧媽媽，果真，因為沒戲開拍，整個公司包括我在內都暫時沒事做，於是很順利地請假，更奇妙的是，都是老闆主動打電話問我是否要延長休假。在回來上班後，公司的新戲在2月就要開拍順利銜接，真的很有福運。
經歷媽媽這次生病後，信心上我逐漸由依頼轉為獨立，進而邁向奉獻的人生。以前遇到大事情，總需要共戰夥伴雅苓在背後鼓勵我唱題挑戰。現在遇到任何問題，第一時間就會想到以題目來挑戰。感謝鳳山光復地區的阿姨們、女子部共戰夥伴，總是在我最需要時給予我鼓勵及協助。
在2015年「世界廣布新時代躍進之年」元旦，我家安置了御本尊，不僅對我家意義深遠，更為今後揭開勝利序幕，堅信今年是我家的躍進之年。現擔任地虛副女子部長的我，決意努力培育人才、在工作上成為専業的影片剪接師，創造「一家和樂」的信心，與家人一同奮戰，邁步在讓眾人幸福的廣布大道上，奮勇向前。

Braving Confidently On the Challenges Of Work And Family
Changing From Reliance to Independence, Advancing Towards A Dedicated Life
Shi Yun Yun
Taiwan
During early 2008, a university classmate (Hong Sanxi) encouraged me to embrace Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism and I became the first seed of the Mystic Law in my family. Although I started off with just chanting, I managed to see the great power of practice in merely a week by overcoming a difficult problem. Since then, I diligently chanted every day.
Through the encouragement of seniors, started active participation in activities
In April of the same year, the broadcasting industry started internship opportunities to undergraduates. As a Mass Communication undergraduate, I had to compete with nearly a hundred other fellow students for two placement of the internship. In addition to careful crafting of my resume, I set a prayer and chanted seriously. Through the mystical power of daimoku, I managed to get the placement successfully. A senior classmate told me that I was the first night student to be successfully accepted. This was truly the first actual proof of my practice.
Although I had managed to see benefits of chanting but due to lack of participating in activities, I did not really understand Daishonin’s Buddhism. Every time when I faced greater challenges, I get overwhelmed easily, especially on the financial problems of my family. After practicing for 2 years and through an YWD (Zhou Yijun) in Chungli County’s care and encouragement, I determined to challenge my financial problems through daimoku. I increased my chanting from 10 minutes to 40 minutes a day for a period of 2 months. However, my family financial situation did not improved. Coupled with negative influences, I became angry and upset resulting in my confidence hitting rock bottom. This continued until the year 2011, where I met another senior in faith, Zhang Shengli. Through his encouragement, I recovered my conviction in daimoku. At the same time, with the care and guidance of YWD Lin Yaling, I started to participate in activities more diligently.
Create victorious actual proof in work, guiding my younger brother in participating activities
In 2011, I joined the Communications Department. It was at that time I was thinking of switching career. I set a determined target of completing one million daimoku. My comrades in the Communication Department became my Buddhist Gods, they helped submitted my resume to the TV Broadcasting Station. My interview and meeting with the executives went very well. Although the interview result was not successful, I was not in doubt and was convinced that Gohonzon will make the best arrangement. True enough, a television drama producer I met during university internship called and invited me to become the After Production Coordinator of a television drama. Through this, I managed to switch my career and it was a victorious actual proof in my work through daimoku. It was later that I knew that the broadcasting station which I unsuccessfully interviewed for, was not able to expand and had to retrench all the newcomers that were successful during the intake. This is another clear actual proof of the best arrangement by the Gohonzon.
My family’s happiness and health has always been my concern. I have always been staying away from home since university days to moving to North Taiwan for work. Due to the long duration of being away from my family, they were always in my heart and chanting for them in my prayers has always been the only way I could protect them. As I was experiencing great benefits in my practice, I was determined to guide my family to start practice and for them to experience the actual proof personally. In order to let my younger brother understand the beauty of our practice, I purposely left President Ikeda’s “Discussion on Youth” and other books lying around in the house. True enough, it attracted my younger brother’s attention and following that, my senior in faith also linked up Kaohsiung’s YMD leader with my brother. I chanted determinedly that my younger brother must definitely have a good rapport with the YMD. Not long after, my younger brother called and informed me that the YMD leader had home visted him. They had a good dialogue and my brother had since started participation in activities.
Encouraging my mother to start practicing, challenging the karma of sickness through faith
Other than my brother, I started encouraging my mother to start practicing but she was not willing to. In June 2014, my mother was diagnosed with lumps on her left breast and it was suspected to be breast cancer. Her doctor had arranged to remove the lump for examination. My mother, who was usually very strong, broke down in front of me after hearing the news. It was heart wrenching. While hugging my mother and holder her hands, I told my mother not to be afraid as we have the Gohonzon. Gohonzon has allowed me to fulfill so many of my prayers so I must be able to change poison into medicine this time round as well. With her daughter and soka members chanting forward, everything will definitely be all right. I further encouraged my mother to calm down and start chanting as well.
While my mother was hospitalized, many WDs visited her. I took the opportunity to share my testimonials with my mother and encouraged her to start chanting. As the Gosho states, “Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way”, my mother did not reject me as she normally used to. She started to chant silently in her heart and prayed that her wound would heal faster and the lump would be diagnosed to be of a benign nature.
When the results came, it was confirmed that the lump was cancerous. However, the good news was that the cancer cells were still at the first stage and my mother just had to undergo radiotherapy. I encouraged my mother to challenge this karma of sickness through daimoku. Her district WDs came to my house every day to chant half an hour with my mother over a period of two weeks. They also managed to invite members who had challenged and overcome similar sickness to encourage my mother. With the company of the WDs, my mother established her faith and consistent practice. After the completion of the radiotherapy treatment, the doctor confirmed that all the cancerous cells had been killed. On a follow up visit, the doctor further confirmed that there were not damage my mother’s internal organs were not damaged by the treatment. It was a complete victory by my mother!
Nothing is coincidental. My mother experience a lot of good fortune in this illness. As the doctor’s advice, the location of the lump was actually very difficult to detect. It must have been due to the meticulous effort of the nurse conducting the examination that it was detected. If it had developed to become something easily detectable, my mother would probably only have 2 years of her life left. And the same time, my mother would not have to experience too much pain at this early stage of removal. It was truly “turning poison into medicine”. With the great benefit of overcoming her karma of sickness, passing the study department examination and sharing of her testimonial during Soka activities, my mother finally received her Gohonzon on 1st January 2015.
Determined to display my specialization and fostering the successors of kosen-rufu
I was working in a Producing Company in Taipei. While my mother was undergoing treatment, I fervently prayed that there must be an available time slot in my work for me to concentrate in taking care of my mother. True enough as there was no projects during the period, the entire company was in a lull period and I managed to obtain an absence of leave successfully. Even more mystically, my boss actually called and asked if I wanted to extend my leave. After I returned to work, my company’s new project was successfully arranged to start in February. It was truly a good fortune.
Through my mother illness, my faith started to change from being reliant to being independent, advancing towards a dedicated and fulfilling life. Previously when I meet with big problems, I had to always rely on my YWD comrade Yaling to encourage me to challenge through chanting daimoku. Now when I meet with any problems, the first thought that comes to my mind will be challenge through daimoku. I sincerely thank all my district’s WDs and YWDs comrades for always being there to encourage and help me when I need them.
In the year 2015, the Year of Dynamic Development in the New Era of Worldwide Kosen-rufu, I enshrined the Gohonzon in my house. Not only is it of great significance to my family, it also creates the path for future victories for all of us. We are truly convinced that this will be the Year of Dynamic Development for my family. I am currently appointed as my District assistant YWD leader. I am determined to foster future successors, become a professional film editor in my work and create a harmonious family based on faith. Challenging together with my family and advancing valiantly on the path of kosen-rufu in bringing happiness to the people.
