The grand year end birthday celebration again : Dec-17
Three years ago, Dor and Hong started this tradition of celebrating four of our birthdays together which coincidentally are merely two days apart. It is lovely to come together as a family not only to celebrate our birthdays but also to end the current year with a good note and get ready for the new one. This year, we have the celebration at home instead of a restaurant, as usual, Dor prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone.

2017 : Kansai Trip : May-2020
This was special holiday trip which we were well protected by the Gohozon. We met quite a serious accident on our third day to Nara when a big truck knocked us from behind. Miraculously the accident happened right in front of the Nara Soka Kaikan, and we were immediately assisted by our kind members over there! None of us were injured too and we were able to continue our holidays. Such great benefit and good fortune to be protected.

Our Kansai year end holiday : Dec-17
In 2017, the family had our year end holiday in Japan again, for the third time! This round 'conquering' the Kansai area, Osaka, Nara, Kyoto and Awaji island. As usual, everyone was looking forward to this trip especially when we loved Japan so much. We also tried something different by staying in a AirBnB in Osaka and also renting a car to drive around for the entire trip. The experience was refreshing where we could stay together in a house, cooked, do our laundry and take our time to move around Kansai with our car.
However, the highlight of this trip was not in our itinerary... but definitely one of the best family testimonial to share by far which happened during the trip.
This was on the fourth day of our holiday when we planned to visit Nara. That day, we set off at about 8.30am and after driving for about an hour, we finally reached the town. While we were waiting at a traffic light to turn green, a 24 footer truck suddenly knocked behind our car! The next moment I was hearing En'en crying and mama chanting Nam-myo-ho-ren-ge-kyo. I came down the car to check on them immediately and luckily there was no serious injury for anyone, apart from Mama and Xuan complaining that their neck may had been jerked and injured during the impact. What was so mystical during this accident was where it had occurred, it was right in front of our Nara Soka Gakkai kaikan and we did not even planned to visit this centre that day! As soon as the accident happened, a kind gentleman who was renovating the center came running out to assist me, asking if anyone was injured and also helping me to call the police and insurance company Then, papa went into the centre to get help and soon after, a few staffs came out to understand the situation. 2 police cars arrived shortly, and the Kaiken staffs were then already busy helping us to communicate with the car rental company, insurance company as well as policemen. While i was making the police report, they even invited the rest of our family in the kaikan and hosted them warmly with tea, biscuit and brought them around the newly renovated kaikan which was about to open that very Saturday. They even showed them the room which Sensei stayed before and chanted some daimoku there together. When they were inside, they had also not forgotten about me outside the freezing weather and even bought hot tea and heat pad to keep me warm. We were so touched by their kindness and felt so fortunate to have them around during this difficult moment. After about 2 hours, a replacement car arrived for us to continue our journey, insurance matters were settled, the police report was made and ambulances were also arranged to bring papa, mama and the gals to the hospital for a checkup. Their checkup completed promptly in half an hour and everyone was fine and not injured. This would not be possible without the help of these kind kaikan staffs. It was such a wonderful good fortune for the family and definitely a fantastic testimonial in lessening our family karmic retribution!
We were able to continue enjoying our holidays without a slight impact from the accident
