A Grumbler I Used to Be
I was always complaining about everything; if someone didn’t return a greeting, “He is short with me,” or when I held the door for someone, “He didn’t say a simple thank you.” My complaints extended to the matter which is beyond me, such as “This policy can’t make our life any better!” I must have made the people around me feel uncomfortable.
A Great Change in Me
Our life has changed greatly since March, when we faced the COVID-19. However, I have nothing to grumble now. Even when I see someone without mask on the news, it doesn’t bother me. What is more, I can take things positively and think “I will commit myself to what I can do now.” I feel myself become mild.
This change was made by the online learnings provided by Shinji Kyōkai. There were a lot of familiar cases which made me think “I should not feel this way,” and gave me the points I should correct.
Till then, I had learned the teachings through Yūwa and other publications. I felt I got it in my head, but I realized that I had not put it into practice. I also found the official site of Shinji Kyōkai had a lot of useful points to practice the teachings.
Wonderful Gifts are Mine
There used to be only “Shinja Kokoronomichi Benkyōkai” offered online, but now we can learn more including Saitenbi. As I continue to learn, the way I see things and the way I feel have changed a lot. I am grateful to be able to learn the latest teachings in no time even though I live far away from Japan. I will make the most of this environment and strive to be more noble person.
