My Facebook is really boring. All I see are photos of dishes, latte, political news clips, motivational clips, more political news, food food food. It's like a newspaper with advertisement. And I only have 30 friends in my list - these are close friends and yet all I see are things I can get from CNN, malaysiakini, etc. I begin to think that FB has become pointless as more and more people are concerned of privacy and became paranoid. They share less personal stuff. I'm guilty of this too. If all I see are gloom and doom news, I don't really see the point of FB anymore. The hype has died in less than, what? 4 years? Maybe 5? Farewell!
One million daimoku
In April 2008, Anne and I started our resolution to chant 1 million daimoku in one year. It's already Jan - and I am only one-third of the way. I really need to WORK HARDER - coz I made another 1 million resolution from Jan - Dec 2009. The chart you see on the right of this post is a chart that we put beside our butsudan. It tracked our chanting progress. Every 20 minute, we coloured one box. Mine is the one on top, Anne's at the bottom - you can see that she made much better progress than me! Hmmm.. come to think of it, I am not even at one third!! --- Edit 22 March 2009: Thanks to Google, a couple of friends in faith found this post and they want to know how many hours of chanting is required to achieve one million diamoku. Here it is. Based on our publication in Malaysia, 20 minutes of chanting is equivalent to 1,000 daimoku. So, one hour is 3,000 daimoku. 1 million would take about 333 hours. --- Edit 8 April 2018: Checking my blogger stats, this post is pretty hig...
may be u chose the wrong 30?
