I went to a YW inspiration meeting tonight and one of my fellow District leaders mentioned having read a rather inspiring publication: SGI-USA District Leaders Handbook.
The handbook is written from the perspective of the SGI-USA. As such, some things will be different (like the concept of Groups, which we don't have in the UK), but the general spirit and the guidelines are actually relevant for any leader in my opinion.
I thought the sheer idea was so awesome that I immediately looked for it to post a quick one on my blog.
You can download the manual from here.
And with that, nighty night!
I know readers of this blog are just dying to know how I spent my half term holiday.
I know, I know, but fear not, the end to your anguished questioning in the small hours of the night has come to an end, I am going to present you with the highly profound and dramatically interesting account of how a Nichiren Buddhist teacher spends her half term.
Now, allow me to give you a bit of much needed (and clearly yearned after) background.
So, to conclude the series of posts on the preparation of the Grade 1 Exam I wanted to write a wrap up post.
This is my favourite section. If I don't ace this section, I'm going to go hide in a corner and cover my head with ash. Or whatever.
So, section D contains three sections: D1, D2 and D3. Each section contains a variable number of questions. In the exam, a different number of questions from each section will be asked. The length of the answer will vary, but the maximum allowed for each section is 400 words.
Here are the questions:
I decided to redo the post on Section B because I finally realised the way the questions have to be answered. I'm sure most people got it the first time, but being a bit soft I only now understood that we are supposed to write 200 words IN TOTAL for the three questions (out of four) that will be asked in the actual exam.
This means that to prepare we need to write about 70 words for each question.
