Challenge with Courage and Hope

I was informed that one of the bass might not be able to participate in the choir competition next month in Singapore as his company has assigned him to Hong Kong to work for about one month.

There's nothing much we can do but to send abundant of daimoku to him. Life has too many uncertainties and we should never give up hope even until the very last minute. As stated in the Daishonin's teaching, there'll be obstacles and devil functions that will challenge us when we're doing the right things. Then we should be certain that we're walking on the correct path.

Yeah I have been challenged in many ways which I could not imagine and never though of. But now I've learned that to be defeated will only lead to unhappiness. So, it's better we face the challenges with courage and hope.

Challenges will make a courageous person stronger and wiser; but challenges will make a coward weaker.

It's when we face the challenges courageously, the light of hope will definitely shine for us.
