A pair of Buddhas

I got this pottery figurine of Buddha from a friend of mine, which are a pair of Buddhas that he had owned for himself. He gave one of them to me as a gift recently. And I like this very much, but at the same time, I worry to have this in my room as I'm a bit superstition person. Usually human figure is no good, especially if someone owned it once, you shouldn't take over it. Because it contains previous person's fortunes etc. I consulted my fortuneteller, she suggested I should definitely throw it away when I move out from current place. So I'm thinking of telling this to my friend who gave me that Buddha honestly, because it's a pair thing. But I'm concern if it sounds offensive to him. Because I really appreciate that gift. If possible I want to own it for long time. I don't know how much you are religious, but what is the best option? 1) Hold the Buddha without caring. 2) Tell him what I told here and consult whether I throw it away or give it back to hi...

Quit a job, leave someone, and throw something away. To a girl like me, abandoning something was almost instinctive, as easy as the flip of a hand. Drift from one goal to another, push oneself to the limit, and keep moving. ( Shanghai Baby) It's always easier to leave than being left. However it can't be avoidable for people who lives in the city, city like Tokyo . I have seen off many friends departures in the past few years, in fact I was one of them once before. I left my home, lived in another country, returned to Japan and lived in a different city and moved to Tokyo ... Ever since I drifted down to here, my emotions towards different countries have disappeared. I don't know if someone/something can change my mind. I guess that would be wonderful as well.

Secret Crush

This is comic book and the hero is real historical person, names Prince Shotoku . The story setting is that he possessed psychic power and fell in love with a man.   I know how it sounds like. However it has a lot of tastes of painful feelings that I can empathize. And I also like this author focused on a lot of spiritual things such as yen and yan . It's not really like magical, mystery power things, but it's more like actual existed but you don't see in your eyes things such as smell or temperature. Anyway, when you crush on somebody, you want to become close to that person and united in the end. This author described this as yen and yan . Hi izuru tokorono tenshi

Some song for the end of summer

'One more time, One more chance' by Masayoshi Yamazaki Roughly translated: What more losses I need to experience for releasing my heart? How much more pains I ought to have for meeting you again? Wherever, whenever I always look for you, even though I know you’re never there.

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。」
