I went crazy during the earthquake

I would like to express my condolences to you, Mr. Relere, for the earthquake disaster.

I also helped raise funds as much as possible, and although I can't go to the site this time, my friends will be heading out to volunteer with supplies starting the day after tomorrow.

The severity of the disaster will probably be compounded by the pain. Looking at other places in Japan that were not affected by the earthquake, it is natural to be sad to see a completely different happy life. But there are also many people who think a lot of people have to do something because of the earthquake. Let's try to look that way.

I don't know what life has. I'm happy until yesterday, so I'm not necessarily happy tomorrow either. So if you don't live by seriously refining your mind every day, you won't be able to cope with major changes. That person's personality appears in a major crisis. It is also said that the damage caused by the disaster was the chaos that followed rather than the damage itself. You'll see a lot of disgusting parts of humans. But don't lose sight of yourself, don't break your own proper way of life, and make an effort to overcome this crisis first. If you get stressed and it really doesn't work, let's leave the damaged area once and for all. Then you should rest your mind and go back. If you don't have a relationship anywhere else, please come to my temple. About a place to sleep can be provided.

Soon, restoration work will be in full swing, and administrative aid support will begin. I will be thinking about my future life at that time.

It's tough, but keep up the good work now! I cheer in a harsh voice, saying don't lose to disasters. Gassho

Lady Rerere-sama
Nice to meet you, my name is Tetsuya Urakami from Nagomi-an.

They were affected by the Kumamoto earthquake, and they are currently living in an evacuation center. I would like to express my deepest sympathy for this serious disaster. I'm glad you came safely; are your family and people around you safe?

In an extreme state, you've witnessed the bare humanity that unfolds in an evacuation center, and you're suffering, aren't you? It's a life that completely changed from a peaceful everyday life, and I know it's really painful. Rere-san is doing her best right now, isn't she?

In shelters without privacy, you probably won't be able to sleep easily even if you're tired. As a result, they looked at Twitter, etc., and it is said that they feel even more distressed. I think it's not unreasonable for people to get extremely stressed and vomit in such a state.

Lelele's job now is to live. It may be frustrating, but please make it through the present. People with good intentions may be disaster victims themselves, but they are working to help disaster victims. It may make you feel sorry, but let's indulge in now.

I don't know why it was named “Relere,” but a character called “Lelele's Uncle” appears in the old manga “Tensai Bakabon.” I clean all the time with a broom in my hand.

Actually, Lelele's uncle, is said to be the model, Chula Pantaka, a direct disciple of the Buddha. Chula Pantaka was extremely clumsy, but he was given a broom by the Buddha and told to clean while only chanting “remove the dust and remove the blemishes.”

He continued to clean honestly as his master taught him, and at some point he gained enlightenment. It's not smart, it's not excellent, and it's not useful to people. But by accumulating the little things he could do, he came to enlightenment.

You may not be able to do anything right now, Rere-san, but there may be something you can do yourself, even with the smallest things. If you find it, try moving within a reasonable range. To that end, take care of your body now.

◎ Prayer reading
I was relieved to hear back from you and confirm that you are safe. I understand that there are various circumstances, such as the family in Kanto and the situation they have to endure there.
Right now, I just want to remember Rere-san.

It's a huge disaster. The earthquakes are still going on, and I haven't had time to calm down.
I think the mental damage is also huge.
I'm sure you're worried about the eyes around you, but let's calm down and search for the next place to evacuate.
Please ask the staff etc.

Let's do volunteering etc. to the extent that we can without difficulty once we have settled down a little more.
It's important to help each other.
There must be something you can do too.

Don't you have any parents or relatives?
If they are there, ask them to evacuate.
Let's start little by little with what we can do.
Don't be defeated by an earthquake.

Thanks for posting. thank you.
When humans are in trouble, our feelings inevitably turn inward, don't they?
First, try taking a slow, long, and deep breath while watching this.
Sue... huh...
Sue... huh...
When you worry or blame yourself, you get so nervous that you can't even breathe properly.
That happened to me a long time ago, and it made my stomach sick.
Rere-san.
Think, “I am a river now.”
I'm sorry I couldn't do anything.
Try thinking, “It's a flowing river.”
Just think a little more, a little more, that if it exceeds this turbidity, it will always flow.
When will the Shirakawa River, Midori River, Kase River, Akitsu River, and Mifune River flow through Kumamoto. Be sure! It reaches the ocean, becomes clouds, and changes to rain.
It changes and “goes away.”
It changed and “exists.”
Until a while ago, it was even sadder and harder.
It seems the same, but even so, it's changed.
I'm breathing, and I'm breathing. I'm wearing it.
Please take a look at the one now.
Please look around.
Even if it's just a little bit, the grief and suffering may have been reduced even by 3 grams.
The sun may make those dark feelings even a little warmer.
People's voices may have filled Relere's loneliness, even just a little bit.
Everyone is in the same situation, so maybe they are supporting me in the same difficult situation, even just a little bit.
Today, too, something might arrive if someone somewhere doesn't know what to do, but they want to use it for something.
Even if the thing itself is cold when you touch it, it may be something steeped in the warmth of a person.
It may not be fixed right away, right away.
But don't let your heart stagnate, just like the river is moving forward little by little.
don't stop.
When it's hard and when you're sad, try breathing back again so that you can move your heart forward even a little bit by 1 millimeter.
It's painful. But instead of sitting inside your heart, let yourself sit down on what's right in front of you.
Please take a close look at it.
I think it's a little easier than sitting inside your heart.
by all means. Let's talk about it again. I'm waiting.

Nice to meet you, Rere-san.

You're in the disaster-stricken area of Kumamoto, aren't you? There are no signs that the aftershocks will subside, and it seems that tremors with a seismic intensity of 3 or higher are observed every hour. I would like to express my sympathy.

Well, it seems that Relere is heartbroken by exposed human greed.
Rellere-san is probably unable to fully accept what is happening right in front of her eyes, such as “it is natural that the victims of the disaster will be exhausted” and “while there are not enough supplies, they will spoil the food.”

That's why they eat until they throw up.
Rere-san doesn't blame herself. I can't do anything, and I don't know what to do after the shelter is closed. This is a matter of course.

Please rely on someone.
They are all victims of the disaster, but they all want to help someone. There's nothing wrong with signing up for help.

I'm also in Kumamoto Prefecture! Currently, I spend sleepless nights preparing to escape with my family and relatives every night from the fear of not knowing when it will come.
It's an experience I've never experienced before, and now it's a world of rock bottom, and it seems like my heart is crushed by anxiety that people can clearly see, feel, and don't know the future!
There's no way I can take it for granted with this kind of heart.

There, you can see and hide a heart that has never been seen before.
People have this heart since they were born, but since they live a fulfilling life on a daily basis, they can live without showing up, and they have plenty of time, so it's not easy to show up in modern times.

However, in Japan, after the end of the war, it wasn't like this, and a terrible world unfolded. However, the reason Japan exists today is because it has successfully overcome this era that it has the current prosperous era.

Now we have gone back to the world of suffering again, but Kumamoto will definitely return to normal.
Never get frustrated no matter what happens, don't be sad, and face it with a strong heart even if it's forced to do so!

Let's walk believing in the future!

There were 3 degrees of aftershocks while I'm currently writing!
It's scary! But when I think that if I don't do something, I might lose my life even now, I think I have to do something and leave something behind.

You are you, so please take good care of your current heart, believe in yourself, and get through if you think it's right.
Despite the fact that the pain is different, people living with “colleagues” are comrades in this world.

Please write when it's hard again!
Maybe there's something I can do.

Why don't you leave your current evacuation center for 4, 5 days, or even 1 week from today and evacuate to Kagoshima, Miyazaki, and Fukuoka?
We will accept you at the temple. If there's no reason why you can't leave your current shelter, by all means.

※You have reached your mental and physical limits in your current environment.
What you need isn't to switch your mind or put up with it.
It's important to temporarily get away from your current environment.

Lady Rellere-sama

I was able to see the difficult situation through hasunoha. Thank you very much.

They have been forced into an unreasonable situation in the wake of the earthquake, so I can't even find words to say it.
Right now, interest from all over the country is focused on Kumamoto. There are a lot of people who don't know what to do and want to do something.
However, due to the seriousness of the disaster situation, thoughts such as restoration of supplies and infrastructure have not arrived, and progress has not been made.

The network of temples, monks, various denominations, and religious groups is also doing their best to take steps to deliver thoughts, things, and volunteers to the disaster-stricken areas in Kumamoto. We are both tormented by unreasonable suffering.

I think this suffering is probably at a level that can only be understood by those placed there, starting with Lady Erere. Even if they want to help or help from a distance, they still haven't got the skills to do it, but I think everyone is doing their best in their respective places. Please don't give up until that thought comes true. If you think you're lonely, please talk to hasunoha about even trivial matters. Make sure you're not alone.

Really, I can only express my feelings about being in a difficult situation right now, but I spoke out as the only way I could send it to Mr. Relere. We are praying that the environment will improve from the current situation as soon as 1 second. Gassho

Lady Rerere-sama

Please, both mentally and physically, you can still ask questions to hasunoha. If you have time, anything is fine. It doesn't matter if it's a continuation of the main question. Please feel free to ask your questions.

More than 150 responding monks can be close to everyone's heart, suffering, and worries through this hasunoha, even if we are unable to listen to your feelings now, the feelings of your family, the feelings of everyone at the shelter, and suffering, even if we are unable to listen to them on the spot.

By all means, please use Hasunoha, mainly by you.

If there's anything you can do for everyone now, please make effective use of this hasunoha.

We may be able to tell you more about your reality throughout Japan.

You may be able to make the next use of your challenges and reflections from this time.

Perhaps, even if you are alone, you may be a source of peace of mind, healing, and salvation for someone through you.

We may be able to appeal to everyone who is reading it for support by doing something they can do.

Through hasunoha, I hope we can give something close to everyone who is in the midst of suffering.

Please count on hasunoha.

I would like to do my best to support you as much as I can. Even this hasunoha.

I hope the circle of warm support can be expanded throughout Japan, even through hasunoha.

I look forward to working with you.

Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho
