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.

Oh Japanese..

I've been reading Hard boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami lately. His expressions are soooo good that I can't help making a note while I'm reading. His descriptions are amazing. I read the book on the commuting train and if there's any line that I am impressed, I take out my mobile and text it to my PC e-mail. Thus, I'm busy on the train, especially my commuting hour has been shorted since I moved. I miss long time train trip a bit. My neighbourhood photos. -Japanese- 今村上春樹の『世界の終わりとハードボイルドワンダーランド』を読んでいます。 彼の表現力は素晴らしくてついついメモをとってしまいます。 彼の本は評価が好きな人は大好き、良さが分からない、と分かれますが 私は彼の表現に感動する事が多いです。 通勤電車の中で読んでいて、素敵だ、と思うラインがあると 携帯を取り出し自分のパソコンにメールをしてしまいます。 なので電車でとっても忙しい・・。 引っ越して通勤時間が短くなってしまったので 以前のような長い通勤時間も懐かしい気がします。

Aomori

The northernmost part of Honshu(Main Land). It's about 700km away from Tokyo. Where The lantern festival take place. Where Tsugaru Shamisen originated. 8 hours driving. Easy driving. Food! Pink flowers and shrine. Pink pink pink. Season goes a little later than Tokyo. Plants took over the house. How pretty you are. This mountain called Osorezan , which is one of spiritual places in Japan.
