It makes me feel that the sutras and sounds are so beautiful.
I feel the names of flowers related to Buddhism and the richness of various types of nature.
Please tell me your favorite words, flowers, and other things.
The world is constantly changing. Things that were extremely prosperous until recently are also disappearing due to the changing times.
It seems that Buddha said something like this during nirvana, “Everything changes, so don't be lazy.”
I feel the changing times and respond to them without being arrogant. Buddha from over 2,500 years ago... he is a truly precious and great person. (Please note that this is my interpretation.)
Nice to meet you, Nayu-san.
This is Nakamura Taishaku from Tokushima Prefecture, the temple of Dharma and ceiling paintings.
My favorite phrase is “thank you.” It seems like a general term, but it actually has its etymology in Buddhism.
“Kage” is something hidden behind the scenes and invisible to the eye, that is, gods, Buddhas, and ancestors. Unbeknownst to both Nayu-san and I, we are being supported by Shinto Buddha and our ancestors.
I don't know when I was supported by Shinto Buddha or my ancestors, so thank you.
Whether it's good or bad, thank you.
Thank you for everything.
There is no bonsho (bonsho) among monks, and they attend (go) to Jippo (Jippo)
Buddhists should not care about values like great ↔ ︎ lower end, good ↔ ︎ bad, sacred ↔ ︎ vulgar, convenient ↔ ︎ unusable, like ↔ ︎ dislike. Don't be caught by anyone, gratefully accept the world as it is, treat it with care and care, and live your best. It means something like that. I think it's the ultimate beauty of the mind.
My favorite flower is the water lily. I feel that it has all the beauty, cuteness, and coolness.
Also, I like to play by sticking to lotus leaves and submerging them in water. It shines in a golden color. Once you let go of your hand, it floats up, and the water bursts back to normal. If water remains on a leaf, it shakes the leaf. Then it rolls with great momentum while snapping. Have you seen it?
Speaking of which, I've never done it with water lily leaves... will it be the same?
It will be Obon from now on, isn't it? In my denomination, I read a sutra called Kanromon during Obon. The Chinese script that flows smoothly, the Japanese script that twirls as a leaf falls, and some strange Sanskrit (words phonetically transcribed with Chinese characters) are mixed together, and it's a sutra with a beautiful modulation. Please listen to it.
Nice to meet you, Nayu-san.
My favorite flower is what Japanese people like, called “cherry blossoms,” but cherry blossoms are second.
After all, the number one is probably the “lotus flower.”
As you know, the root of a lotus flower is lotus root.
Lotus roots grow thick and strong only when they are in deep, muddy mud.
Also, no matter how muddy the water is, large, clean flowers bloom.
There is a saying like this in the sutras.
“Undyed World Law: Lotus Zaishui”
Being steeped in the laws of the world is like being in lotus water.
This is
The Buddha's teachings are that no matter how much the world is full of worries and desires, it won't be dyed in it; it's just like lotus flowers bloom beautifully no matter what kind of muddy water or dirt they are in.
It means something like that, but if you turn it the other way around,
There are many temptations in the world we live in, and if so, it's easy to get carried away by greed and lose sight of the path you walk, but take a proper look at your feet, don't give in to temptation, stretch straight, and someday have beautiful large flowers blooming.
I think it's a lesson for us.
It's not easy, but it would be great if we could live that way.
