Jyoti's Experience of Finding a Job

Jyoti's Work Experience 

I was introduced to Nichiren Buddhism 
by my dear colleague in Delhi. 

That time I was under depression
due to some personal problem going in my life.  
I came to Vadodara to my parent’s house in August 2012. 
That’s the time when I started practicing with
full faith and really chanted for hours. 
As they say 
"If you chant with a determination 
to chant until your heart sings with joy,
then your problems will melt 
like dew in the morning sun." 

I experienced this power after chanting consistently 
and gained a lot of strength and peace of mind 
with no grudges for anybody 
in fact I became more & more compassionate 
towards the people who created problems in my life.
And always pray for their happiness and Buddha nature 
to emerge. 

When I compare myself with what I was a
few months ago, I could see an incredibly positive 
change in me.  I received lot of protection benefits 
also.

This increased my faith in the law.  

After coming out from depression 
(in just 1 month, which could have taken years 
otherwise…considering my problem) I started 
applying for jobs in September 2012. 

I was praying for a lot of other things related 
to the problem I was facing 
which made me enter this practice. 
But I never prayed for a job since I came
to Vadodara as I was always in two minds. 

I met my leader and asked her what to do. 
She said you must be in high life condition 
as you have to make efforts whether you be here 
or in Delhi. “You have to make efforts” 
these words immediately changed my perspective 
towards my situation. I should do what I can do best 
in my present situation; this thought came to my 
mind. I also prayed and asked to Gohonzon
…should I look for a job in Vadodara or should 
I wait till my problems get solved. 

I prayed to the Gohonzon that I should get some 
indication of what to do. The very next day 
I got a call from a friend in Delhi who knows 
about my problem. As soon as I picked up my call 
she said you must look for a job in
Vadodara and keep moving ahead in your life. 
She also revealed a few things which were going on
(which I can’t share with you) but her words 
kicked me to move ahead. After that call 
I was never in two minds and decided to find a job. 

I started praying sincerely 
with complete determination for my job in the
first week of November. I prayed that by Nov 19th
I must join an office in Vadodara and my salary 
should match with my Delhi salary and the job 
location should not be very far from my leader’s 
place so that I can attend evening meetings 
and chant with her after office…I prayed hard. 
Within 2-3 days I started getting calls for 
job interviews. After a few rounds of interview I got selected. 
It gives me immense pleasure
to tell you that I joined my new office from Nov 18th.

 My salary is little higher than my previous job and my
workplace is just 5 mins away from my leader’s place. 
All my wishes got fulfilled. Isn’t it amazing? It
strengthened my faith in the mystic law.
”Nam myoho renge kyo”…. 
This way I could see for myself the
great power of the Gohonzon. 

This practice has given me courage, conviction, and strength to fight all my problems. 
And the environment is giving me opportunities and responding positively towards my human
revolution. 

I am geared up to solve my biggest problem 
in a few days and I look forward to share with you
another very big experience. 

I would also like 
to tell you that during my struggle also I was able to
encourage 4 people to enter this practice. 
They are now chanting consistently and experiencing benefits for them. I am determined to encourage 
them to become member of SGI. Am also determined to make all the right causes to develop my block and propagate this practice. 

Thank you!!
