Buddha by Osamu Tezuka

Comic of Buddha written by Mr. Osamu Tezuka.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha_(manga)
Sariputta asks Ananda what Buddha teaches.

He says,

All suffering cause as the result of a reason,
Buddha teaches us how to figure it out.

All suffering can be stopped,
Buddha teaches us how to do it.
Ananda asks Moggallana who is able to read other's mind the past and the future that if he has a pleasure of life by seeing through all the futures.

He says,

No, it's not right, Ananda.
The future I'm seeing right now is the result of current circumstances.

Futures are changing all the time, it is like a whirl in the river.


(Japanese)

手塚治虫さんのブッダより。

サーリプッタがアナンダにブッダの教えはどのようなものか問う。

アナンダは次のように答える。

「あらゆる苦しみはかならず原因から生まれる ブッダはそれらの原因を解き明かされる。
あらゆる苦しみはかならずとめることができる ブッダはそれらのとめる方法を解き明かされる。」

過去も未来も人の心も読めるモッガラーナにアナンダは問う。

「でもそんなに未来がわかってしまったら生きてても楽しみがなくなるでしょう?」

モッガラーナは言う

「いや、アナンダ、いま私に見える未来は今のままの未来です。
未来はまるで川のうずのように、どんどん変わっていくものです。」

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Folding Keyboard Ryudo

Today is Aquarius new moon. Write down 10 wishes on the paper or note. Handwriting is key. This is folding keyboard, the maker is Ryudo. I was interested, but hadn't had long years. Because I have laptop. But we don't bring computers daily, do we? So I started to think, if I had that, I might write more often... Before buying it, I investigated which keyboard was the best as there were so many kinds. First of all, It has to be light, otherwise, it will stay at home. And thought of the place where I mostly would use... it would be on a train, not a cafe as I commute long hours every day. So it has to be small and quiet.  I don't want to bother others. If I use a keyboard on my bag when I seat, my iPhone needs to place to stand, Ryudo is compact, ideal typing and has a stand. It's not very strong but enough to hold my iPhone 7 plus. One thing I cared was that Ryudo was battery powered not chargeable. So I looked over all ot...
