Inga Ouhou (What gose around comes around)

I'd like to use some four-character idiomatic compounds Japanese as a title sometimes.
Their English meanings are following.

Today, I picked 因果応報 (In Ga Ou Hou) impulsively, 
Because it comes Buddhism spirit, 
I am desperate for inner contentment.

My ideal of the daily life is to start with a cup of plain hot water in the morning,
do Yoga and meditation,
work then socialize or read and write in the afternoon then cook vegetarian meal for a supper and take a hot bath with pinch of salt and read in the bath tub and go to bed before 10 o'clock in the night.

So far, I get only 50%, so compensation is required. 

Inga Ouhou means all facts are results of what you have done.
It is a different from Karma, it is called 『業(Gou)』in Japanese.
Karma is an action, what you do, say and think.
Be careful, thinking is a part of them.

Karma leads result, these happenings are called Inga Ouhou.
And Karma is also carried over from past life or created from your intention of life purpose as if it were muscle training.

And you get involved in life purpose of your family, friends and others to clear your Karma or for just helping others.
You might think being used is a sacrifice, though
If you focus on your life purpose, you can recognize the difference between sacrifice and hearty assistance.

Every appearance caused from too many factors to call 'Inga Ouhou',
we should not judge people because it is almost impossible to conclude.
And certainly it is not our business.

#2 looks better because it has more contrast than the first.

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.
