English | Sharing by Joanne Tang
On paper, Joanne’s life looked enviable - a successful career as a woman in the male-dominated power engineering field, even featured in The Straits Times. But inside, it was a different story: she was holding grudges at work and at home, feeling stuck, and wondering whether she was even on the right path.
Through chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, Joanne began to see cause and effect clearly, and slowly realised that much of what she was going through came from her own ways. With strong faith in the Gohonzon, she was able to overcome various challenges in her personal life, which she shares in this episode.
Today, Joanne lives by new mottos: live life meaningfully, stop procrastinating, help those who are suffering by sharing this practice, and appreciate more. Her message to anyone facing difficulty is simple - don’t face it alone, practise without doubt, chant even if only for ten minutes a day, and talk to somebody at Kaimyo-in if you ever need a listening ear.

Mandarin （中文）| 董俐吩分享
表面上看，俐吩(Joanne)的人生令人羡慕 - 身为女性，她在男性主导的电力工程领域事业有成，还曾获《海峡时报》专题报道。但内心深处却是另一番光景：她在职场和家庭中心怀怨恨，感到停滞不前，甚至怀疑自己走的是否是正确的道路。
透过唱诵南无妙法莲华经，Joanne开始清楚地看见因果，并慢慢领悟到，自己所经历的许多困境，其实源自于自身的习性。凭着对御本尊的坚定信心，她克服了人生中的种种考验 - 这些经历，她都在本集中与我们分享。
如今，Joanne以全新的人生信条而活：活得有意义、不再拖延、更积极地透过分享这个信仰去帮助受苦的人、并心怀更多感恩。她给每一位身处困境者的鼓励 - 不要独自面对，要毫不怀疑地修行，哪怕每天只唱题十分钟也好；若需要有人倾听，欢迎到開妙院找人聊聊。
