My Incredible experiences

The end of the corridor similar to the Sims Drive one room HDB rental flat -demolished

                                                                                   

              This image quite similar to the demolished smallest one room rental HDB in Mattar Road

 
I used to slept in this type of one room HDB flat at the corridor until I was 27 years old, every night about 11.30 pm took a piece of cardboard and a pillow to the end, if raining moved further inside, 4 am woke up to help my mom run the food stall.

                                                                   Merpati Road

My mother brought me to a discussion meeting when I was a few years old in the 1960s at Merparti Road. After that, because my mother was very busy with her business as a street seller and because she didn’t understand much about the practice, we had lost contact with the law. Our family went through very difficult times — my father died of illness in his forties, when I was very young.

All 10 of us lived in the smallest one-room rental flat: my mother, younger brother and sisters, two older sisters and three nieces and a nephew. The room was always hot, till the wee hours, with the heat generated because my mother used to steam the food for her business. We were not harmonious and my mother and sisters were suffering from serious karmic illnesses. We lived in poverty.

The Yong Wah Radio and Electric Service store used to be a makeshift store run by the mother and her elder son, I used to repair our kerosene stove and tricycle there at Geylang at the earlier days

We were on social welfare when our dad died, many times we have only dark sauces and white rice for our meals. And picking cans for a living.  With such serious problems our family was not harmonious, I constantly scolded by my eldest sister and my mom. I was asthmatic during my younger days which causes my parent sufferings and sleepless nights to take care of me.

My mom used to chain up me to prevent me  to playing in the Pelton Canal beside our house, she worried I will be washed away, if it rains heavily, when the canal swelled rapidly and the current were swift

                                                                      Pelton Canal

I learned to repair my own bicycle by observing the old bicycle repairman at Circuit Road when I was a few years old, who operated a bicycle stall at the sidewalk pavement.

Like this makeshift sidewalk repair stall:(here)

My mom used to carry two tins containers on her shoulders with a bamboo pole, up the HDB ten storey, until her legs gave way, before we pushcart the foods to Circuit Road pavement to hawk, sometimes she got to one hand hanged on my shoulder, to walk up the staircases if the lifts broke down. Quite similar to the lady in the picture

Below is the photo which quite similar to this  push cart, that when I was a few years old, early morning pushed it from Mattar Road to Circuit Road Block 67 to hawk the food, which I woke up at 4 am, before I went to my primary school at Circuit Road, in the 1960s.

                                                               Sims Drive Food Market

                  Circuit Road Block 67 pavement where I pushed the cart of foods there every morning at 4 am, before I went to my classes in the 60s and early 70s

The type of  pushcart, similar in size but it was wooden made,

which I put the foods inside and above it, and covered it with a piece of plastic

The type of tricycle which I loaded the food on it every morning, covered it with a piece of plastic and put my bicycle on it, my mom sitting behind it

                   Mattar Road, most of the flats, there already demolished to make way for the MRT

Every night I got to wait until 11 plus pm for my neighbors to sleep, then I could brought the cardboard  out to the end of the corridor to sleep, for 20 over years, and everyday 364 day I got to wake up at 4 am to cycle my mom in the tricycle and the food from my house at Mattar Road to our stall at Sims Drive and later cycled to my school at Upper Aljunied Technical School, many times I was too tired and fell asleep during classes. If I slept in the small one room rental flat and squeezed together like sardines, I might got the sickness like my mom and sisters.

                             Recent What's App from Eric  seen me sleeping in the street.

Those years of waking up early in the morning cycling the tricycle, help me to break some free style soccer and cycling feats records. Until I started practicing, things begin to improve in 2 years time I am able to buy a 3 room flat to enshrine the gohonzon.

My record breaking freestyle football juggling story: https://henryleongblog.blogspot.com/2020/12/world-record-free-style-soccer-juggling.

During my childhood days, playing chinese chess, was one of my favourite pastimes

My mom illnesses was very serious she got to use her hand to hang on to my shoulder on Monday, Wednesday & Friday to consult the doctor at the General Hospital, she got operations all over her bodies and her blood was dark in colour due to the massive amount of drugs she consumed. I kept reading books from morning until night to find  solutions to my family problems but  at no avail.

During my younger days, I kept playing soccer to escape from my family problems. Fortunately in 1986, I met Eric which he brought me to his leader Richard  to practice the Buddhism. Interview by Mothership https://mothership.sg/2021/05/potential-world-record-feat-mystery/

In Singapore our activities campaigns were home visitations, glory group and shakubuku, National Day Parade, numerous cultural shows etc. I gave lots of reading materials to members to encourage them to strengthen their faith. I kept reading testimonials, various articles and chanting millions and millions of daimoku  and I kept trying to put everything I learnt into practice. 

I wrote down my wishes in a piece of paper with the plastic sign holders and put it in front of the altar to chant. Trying my best to  put everything I learnt into practice, to transform my family situations.

              Our classmates regularly play football and basketball at Macpherson Community Club

Took 3 buses from my home in Sims Drive to my army camp at Sembawang Air Base in 1981 for my National Service as a clerk

Started borrowed books and reading at Macpherson Community Club mobile library when I was  10 years old, which it came every Wednesday

Things began to improve: my mother used to give me $4 per day for helping her to run the stall. she mystically increased it to $13 a day automatically, previously she could not even want to increase my allowance by even a dollar. This incident always reminded whenever I faced obstacles

Before that she refused to let me buy a house, because she want to wait until my brother graduate later, mystically I made some offerings I came back from kaikan, she agreed to let me to buy a house a 3 room flat at Sims Drive which end my sleeping on the street at 27 years old.

At the National Library in my younger days kept reading to find solutions to transform my family situations

Even during my GCE O Level exam, after studying until 1 am in the wee hours of the morning. I need to wake up early in the morning at 4 am to cycle the foods to the Sims Drive market.Fortunately my classmate Jason Quek helped me to cycle the food to the Sims Drive market.

I went to take the exam which was 5 hours, 2 and the half hours each  subject, which I felt giddy at that time.

After a hiatus of one year I decided to retake those subjects that I didn't took or dropped. I can't possibly remember the whole book, I found a method to forecast the questions that came out. I passed all the subjects. From the experiences of my classmates, who retook the O Level as a private candidates, it is difficult to remember the whole book

                                                      Upper Aljunied Technical School

As my faith strengthened, I prayed for better opportunities. One person asked me to join Singapore Press Holdings, which sponsored my National Trade Certificate II course. I begin to pray for a bigger place to enshrine the Gohonzon. After two years of practice, I was able to buy a three room flat. This had previously seemed almost impossible.

The first company that I worked after my Secondary School days  in 1977, the amazing the Yong Goh Electrical Engineering Pte Ltd is still around. Presently the name was changed to Yongold Elect Engrg.

At Singapore Press Holdings, I was selected from among my classmates to set the printing rollers — this job wich needed very precise skills. I was also selected  to maintain, repair the machines for the last six months of my Nitec 2 course. 

All these years I had been chanting one hour per day. In my younger days, bicycles and football had been my constant companions, and morning till night I was outside of the house most of the time.

From my experiences and learning from the old bicycle street repairman. Using the right chemicals to remove the rust was crucial.

Receiving a round of applause from my classmates, going up to receive my presently called the Nitec 2 certificate at SPH, Genting Lane

As an award winning Printer of the Year, Suggestions Award and Token of Appreciation, featured in Singapore Press Holdings newsletter. I has lost the small newsletter clippings

Awarded around $3K of free foods by Toyota, every morning a Senior Claim Advisor brought and cooked foods for me free of charge at Leng Kee Road, in appreciations for my contributions in improving the company performances, Toyota staff from around the world came to study, why the company done so well

http://howtooptimizeyourequipments.blogspot.sg

The skills which I learned during my younger days in repairing my bike, help me in my work later. Some of the skills that helped me solve the machinery problems even amazed myself. I was given the Best Suggestion Award and a token of appreciation and was featured in the company newsletter. I was also given the Printer of the Year Award. The company profits had multiplied five-fold during the time I worked there. Which I had consistently chanted one hour of daimoku per day.

In my younger days I used to read from morning until night, went to the National Library to read often.

I left the company and started my own business. It was doing well until 1997 when I lost most of my money in investments and in getting married to a foreign wife. My wife now is a Singapore Citizen. 

                                                                        At UOB Plaza

My wife lent me money, her sister striked lottery lent me money to repay the bank, which I later paid her back and some friends helped me out with the finance. I then turned around and make a lump sum in 1998 and brought a house and furnished it and got married. During this difficult period, I went to Geylang Kaikan and chanted up to seven hours of daimoku per day for months.

I went to work  at Toyota in the night, monitor the market in the morning. I transferred my years of practical knowledges of maintaining and overcoming machinery problems to the mechanic. While I worked there, the company profits grew a few times. In fact one of the Toyota  Senior  Claim Advisor was asked by the management brought and cooked breakfast for me, free of charge most of the every morning for a few year to reward me. 

Outside the  former Upper Aljunied Technical School

Prior to my practice, I was featured in the newspaper due to my bike skills and football ball juggling skills. One year after starting to practice, a TV broadcasting station also showed me doing some of these stunts. I was able to juggle a football three thousand 400 times with all parts of my body (except my hands) for more than one hour and 20 minutes non-stop, in different patterns, without letting the football drop. https://henryleongblog.blogspot.com/2020/12/world-record-free-style-soccer-juggling.html#.YI9wX2QzY1I

Due to years of riding a heavily loaded tricycle, developed my stamina, endurance and skills. I am able to do amazing skills with my legs. The same year a master printer came to my stall to ask me to work in Singapore Press Holdings at Genting Lane

In our school days, our classmates usually went to the Macpherson Community Club at night for a game of soccer or basketball, after the Club closed, we adjourned to the hawker centre beside it for dialogues

I was amazed by my feats which I started to  practice that year 1986, Eric  and hundreds of students of Woodsvilles Secondary School saw it. And Recently Eric  agreed he had seen the whole process of me juggling the football freestyle, one hour and 20 minutes, with Francis  his wife and son, at our recent meetup at Circuit Road hawker and centre.  https://henryleongblog.blogspot.com/2020/12/world-record-free-style-soccer-juggling.html#.YI9wX2QzY1I

Through consistent practice overcoming  many challenges in my life, to have a harmonious  and happy family and all my siblings are able to own their own properties. Most of them are practicing presently. My wife and her family members are also practicing too, and we have two cute sons, which makes me overjoyed. I have had the good fortune to holidays in many countries, which  fulfilled my childhood dream to travel.
https://henryleong.files.wordpress.com

My both sons and wife are active in the organisation, my elder son  in 3 years, was in his school Principal Honour List and was best in science in secondary 2, my younger son excel in his maths, both received numerous scholarships.

My elder son got amazing result in his O Level and was on scholarship, which exceed my expectation. Both conducts were rated very good or excellent by their respective teachers.

After chanting a member I met in my work place introduced me to investment in 1990. Another important benefit from gohonzon

My mother and my three sisters had greatly reduced their karmic illnesses and my brother, 2 sisters and sister in law are active in the organization. My 3 sisters conditions stabilized

Through struggling to fulfill our missions, we are able to live a life of happiness and complete fulfillment.

My favorite Gosho was “Unseen Virtue and Visible Rewards.” I am always encouraged by Sensei’s words, that if you struggle very hard for kosen-rufu in your youth, in the future you will enjoy life more than anyone.

When setting our goals we need to keep practicing hard and to make causes toward it. We should never give up trying to have our prayers answered.

Summary of some of the most amazing testimonials in The Binder Of Most Amazing Testimonials

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0vC86lOwI0zbWVXb0lGVVNMZUk/view

After start reading extensively since 10 years old of many biographies of great people, I decided to compile a book about those fixed or immutable karma, it got to be one of it kind, which can motivated others to chant solve those heaviest karma or the most serious karmic issues, like the legless man, demons enter the body, AIDS, man without stomach, polio victim, heavily debt ridden, mental illness and severe mental retardation, divorced numerous times etc. hope it can epoch changing, it is unlikely that I will compiled any new testimonies binders, which don't serve any purpose all, the testimonies which a person read many times will be the secrets to solve all the issues of mankind, tapping into the power of gohonzon.

How these testimonials binders save my family.

My mom was hospital virtually 4 times every year. My 3 sisters were having very serious karmic illnesses. For years I didn't talk to my younger brother and sister. After I started practicing in 1986, I tried very hard to rid my family, of disharmony, poverty & karmic illnesses.

My dad died of illness when I was 5, I was born with asthma, which made my parent suffer alot taking care of me. When I was reintroduced to this buddhism, I struggled very hard for kosen rufu hoping to rid our family of the sufferings. I kept reading to find the most effective solutions to our family karma. Trying to create any causes to rid my family of sufferings

Through chanting millions of daimoku, massive shakabuku campaigns, participating in many activties like funeral rites, National Day Parade, Prop Group, mailing articles to members to encourage and help them to overcome their problems, home visitations, developing members faith and consistent offerings.

My family situation gradually improve, but some of the major problems still not persisted.

One day when I shared with a member  the testimonials binder, who faced with very serious problems. He kept pestering me to get the originals for him to help members to solve their problems and achieve happiness.

I rejected him a few time, later agreed as he was sincere and was facing 4 serious problems like divorce, daughter problems, business failure & sickness etc.

I was astounded, when I saw how soon he was able to overcome all his problems, after he share or gave members the binders.

I had read thousands of testimonials and talk to hundreds of members, many practice very hard yet didn't solve their problem or not solved it so soon and his whole family members are active and some are leaders in the organisation.

He was able to overcome almost all his problems soon, which was at that time almost impossible, and become a grandfather before 40.

So I followed him to give some copies to members, I was surprised after 16 years, my mom kept asking my younger brother, to practice who was a scholar refused to practice, started to practice, his wife started to practice too and soon they enshrined the gohonzon.

My mom who used to hospitalised 4 times every year, was hospitalised  only after one and the half year later, and I was able to communicate with my younger brother and sister again.   http://nichirendaishoninbuddhism.blogspot.sg/2014/05/man-who-overcome-divorce-daughter.html#.VBYedueWtn5

Gohonzon amazing powers

Bring up my highest potential: http://nichirendaishoninbuddhism.blogspot.sg/2014/08/amazing-power-of-gohonzon.html#.WSumqhOGORs

http://nichirendaishoninbuddhism.blogspot.sg/

Hi,

Recalling numerous instances the miraclous work of gohonzon power. Before chanting i dun used to work long in a job because of many my family problems.

After I started chanting for sometimes in 1986 at the lowest point of my life, one person came to my mother's hawker stall and asked me to work in Singapore Press Holdings at nearby, which I am able to stay there for 4 and the half years. I began experience more of the awsome power of gohozon. Everyday I chanted one hour of daimoku.

I began to work in the reelstand at the ground floor, to feed the newsprints into the reelstand machines, for it to stick to the old reels and when it exhausted, the new reels will automatically sticked to it and changed into a new reel, the web run up to the second floor printing machinery for the paper to be printed and cut into sizes.

After a few months of working they called me a master printer, because I am able to solves problems that those printers who worked many years couldn't solved. I was amazed by my ability

At one instance, I am able to run the reelstand machines without any web breaks for one whole month. It is not possible without the gohonzon power. Normally around 4 printers control more than 10 reelstands in the ground floor, prepared the reels so that it change into a new one when the newsprint exhausted to feed the printing machine at the second floor.

Usually the printers who run the reelstands had a web break in their machine, at least once in a day, sometimes a few times per day. I able to not having a single web breaks in a whole month what an amazing feat and sometimes I take care of up to 4 reelstands per day.

At one time the printing machines kept stopping in its run.The chargehand and other senior printers who practice up 30 years for more than half an hour, they couldn't find the problems. Then I had the wisdom to increase the air pressure, so the web in the machine start running smoothly, to the amaze of everyone.

At another instance the machines couldn't started, the supervisor who run the machinery for more than 15 years couldn't find the solutions after many tries. Mystically I had the buddha's wisdom to adjust the feeder mouth rollers which was too tight, so the machines started to run.

The machines at SPH was more than 20 years old, so lots of chemicals sticked to the machines coundn't be removed. After many experimenting with various concortions of chemicals. I am able to clear the dirt and chemical that sticked on the cover of the machinery and made it shine as almost new, to the surprise of everyone. Using a concortions of hand washing agents with other cleaning agents.

The outer covers of this machine had since cleared of all chemicals that sticked to it for lots of years. This amazing feat, had brought one Japanese teachers and his group of students, come to see the different of the machinery which I applied and the ones that I didn't applied the chemicals.

They were amazed and stood there to analyzed it for quite sometimes, wondering how did I did it.

Hope to share the amazing power of gohonzon.

“With the Gohonzon, there is no deadlock”

Saturday, 12 March 2011 by Chant for a Better Life

Henry Leong, a MD from Singapore, came from a poor family and at one stage, had to squeeze in a small rented apartment with nine of his family members. Life was hard and his faith enabled him to struggle on and overcome numerous challenges, especially in his career where he faced a major financial difficulty, and achieve happiness for him and his family. Henry applied the knowledge he has to his new jobs and was rewarded for his efforts. He even has a couple of amazing skills and because of them, he was featured in the media.
My mother brought me to a discussion meeting when I was a few years old in the 1960s. After that, because my mother was very busy with her business as a street seller and because she didn’t understand much about the practice, we had lost contact with the law.
Our family went through very difficult times — my father died when I was very young. All 10 of us lived in a one-room rental flat: my mother, younger brother and sister, two older sisters and four nieces and nephews. The room was always burning hot because my mother used to cook all the food for her business. We were in constant conflict and my mother and sisters were suffering from serious karmic illnesses. We lived in poverty.
As a boy, I kept playing soccer to escape from my family problems. In 1986, I met Eric Yeo and he brought me to his leader Richard Sim. I learned to practice Buddhism.
In Singapore our campaigns were home visitations and shakubuku, National Day Parade, numerous cultural shows, and offerings. I kept reading testimonials and various study material to begin to understand the practice and I kept trying to put everything I learned into practice.
Things begin to improve: my mother used to give me $4 per day for helping her to run the stall. Her income then mystically increased to $13 a day on her own; previously she could not increase her income by even a dollar.
As my faith strengthened, I prayed for better opportunities. One person asked me to join Singapore Press Holdings, which sponsored my National Trade Certificate II course in printing. I begin to pray for a bigger place to enshrine the Gohonzon. After two years of practice, I was able to buy a three room flat. This had previously seemed impossible. My mother kept objecting to me buying a house, but after I made some offerings, when I went back home, she mystically agreed. Next, after six years of practice, I was able to buy this private property.
At Singapore Press, I was selected from among my coursemates to set the printing rollers — this job needed very high skills. I was also chosen to maintain the machine for the last six months of my course. All these years I had been chanting one hour per day. In my younger days, bicycles and football had been my constant companions, and morning till night I was outside of the house. Some of the skill that helped me solve the machinery problems even amazed myself. I was given the Best Suggestion Award and a token of appreciation and was featured in the company newsletter. I was also given the Printer of the Year Award. The company profits had multiplied five-fold during the time I was there.
I left the company and started my own business. It was doing well until 1997 when I lost most of my money in investments and in getting married to a foreign wife. But, with the Gohonzon, there’s no deadlock. My wife and some friends helped me out with the finance. During this difficult period, I went to Geylang Kaikan and chanted up to seven hours of daimoku everyday.
I went to work as a security man at Toyota. I transfered my knowledge of maintaining and overcoming machinery problems to the mechanic. While I worked there, the company profit multiplied a few times. In fact one of the Toyota claim advisors was asked by the management to buy and cook breakfast for me for free nearly every morning for a few years.
Prior to my practice, I was featured in the newspaper due to my bike skill and ball juggling skill. One year after starting to practice, a TV broadcast also showed me doing some of these stunts. I was able to juggle a football three thousand times with all parts of my body (except my hands) for more than one hour non-stop, without letting the football drop.
Through consistent practice, I am able to have a harmonious family and all my siblings are able to own their own properties. Most of them are practicing. My wife and her family members are also practicing, and we have two cute sons, which makes me overjoyed. I have had the good fortune to holiday in 18 countries.
My mother and my three sisters have greatly reduced their karmic illnesses.
Through struggling in our activities for kosen-rufu, we are able to live a life of happiness and complete fulfillment.
My favorite Gosho was “Unseen Virtue and Visible Rewards.” I am always encouraged by Sensei’s words, that if you struggle very hard for kosen-rufu in your youth, in the future you will enjoy life more than anyone.
When setting our goals we need to keep practicing hard and to make causes toward it. We should never give up trying to have our prayers answered.

Bring up my highest potential: http://nichirendaishoninbuddhism.blogspot.sg/2014/08/amazing-power-of-gohonzon.html#.WSumqhOGORs
