Today, I went shopping with my family, and afterwards we enjoyed a picnic. Surrounded by trees and flowers, I am truly grateful for the beauty of nature and the time with my loved ones.

When I look at my parents and relatives, I can't help but imagine my actions in previous lives. What kind of causal relationships led me to be born into this current environment.

Ideologies and principles are mere means for discussion. They are not the foundation of oneself or absolute truths. Through Zazen, one can gain this realization.

Zen retreat at a Zazen dojo in Shiga Prefecture awaits me at the end of this month. I am truly grateful for this chance. Opportunities to engage in Zazen seriously are limited in life. I will cherish this experience.

This morning, I participated in a Zazen meeting at a nearby temple and had rice porridge after Zazen. I am grateful for the bond with companions who practice the Buddhist path together.

Yesterday, I went to a Zazen meeting at my alma mater and listened to a professor from the Zen research institute. The historical talk based on research results was more meaningful than the absurd theories of people dressed as monks.

The people I met at today's Zazen meeting said they wanted to study Buddhism more. However, I think it is more important to receive guidance from a real Zen master than to study.

I tried looking into Zazen meetings in Nagoya. I hope there will be good encounters, but I think the strength of my own desire to seek is important.

The move is complete, and my new life in Nagoya has started. I am touched by the cityscape of Nagoya and the beautiful cherry blossoms. I want to make wonderful memories here from now on.

Tomorrow, I will move from Kyoto to my hometown, Nagoya. I am grateful for the encounters and will start a new life in Nagoya.

Today's Nintendo Shop experience filled my heart with excitement. The atmosphere and displays inside the store were so amazing, it felt like I was inside a game.

I don't think it's bad to count the number of friends I have, but I believe understanding myself is far more important. When it comes down to it, friends are actually myself.

This morning,I went to the park to make my daughter walk, but she slept in the baby carrier the whole time. It feels like I enjoyed the cherry blossoms alone and came back.

I was recommended a film by Akira Kurosawa from my American friend and gained a new perspective. Sometimes it's important to re-examine one's own culture through the eyes of outsiders.

Along with the breath of spring, the burden in my heart seems to become lighter. The arrival of a new season may also be an opportunity to take a fresh look at myself.

Japanese TV is constantly talking about the cherry blossom forecast. It's as if it's the most important thing for all Japanese citizens.

Living a life that accords with Buddhist teachings may start not from denying one's own characteristics, but rather from making the most of them. Developing my strengths while putting the Buddha's teachings into practice - I want to find my own way, step by step.

Today, I met my British friend who is traveling Japan. Amazingly, his wife can speak 7 languages! I felt the wonderfulness of being able to interact with people around the world beyond language barriers.

It is raining in Kyoto, but it is like a natural melody. I wish you a pleasant weekend.
March 22, 2024 at 11:42 PM
It is snowing this morning in Kyoto. Spring seems to be a little late this year.
March 21, 2024 at 12:11 AM
Today was spent taking care of my daughter, with little time for zazen. But I enjoyed my time with my little Buddha.
March 20, 2024 at 12:29 PM
My daughter wanting to wear shoes is an expression of her interest in the outside world. There will be new adventures waiting at the park tomorrow.

Being humble towards the Buddha's teachings is a virtue of those who seek truth. I respect such people and wish to walk that path myself.
March 18, 2024 at 12:25 PM
The joy of sitting zazen with like-minded people is deeper than words can express. I can't help but feel that each other's presence is an encouragement to practice.
