Since june, I haven't left Scandinavia. These are the first 3 months in a row in a year, that I am staying in one place, not going nowhere... And I can tell you that I am getting a bit restless. But due to some things, it seems that I am here to stay for a little while. It's not all bad I must admit. Eventhough it hasn't been much of a summer here in Sweden, it still has been a summer filled with great moments and new and exciting things. I have made new friends, I kinda started working again after a little break, I started a new blog ( I took the chance to show my work to the world, and did I ever get blown away by the reaction!) and lot of other fun moments.
And yes! I have advanced in my Buddhist practice! This summer I have been preparing myself for the moment that is soon to come... In 6 days to be exact, I am receiving the Gohonzon. It is a very important moment in every Buddhist life and after almost 10 months of practising Nichiren_Buddhism it is now my turn. I am very exited to take my practise to another level. I can honestly tell you that I am amazed by all the benefits I have received since I've started. And few I have already told you about here on this blog. But with a deeper practise and strengthen faith, also come without a doubt, obstacles in various forms. Cause once you get stronger in your faith, the stronger the resistance gets. That is when you keep on practising day after day never gvining up; To become a stronger and happier person and to overcome all obstacles in life... To make your personal revolution.
And that is what I am doing here in Sweden. Even if I am not getting anywhere at the moment, I know that my stay here is only because I am preparing myself. I am building up something for the future. Something solid and strong. And I know when the time is right, and before I can imagine, I will be back where I belong.
Even stronger than last time. Even more convinced that this is my place. I have no doubt.
Until next! Take care and see you around!
