I felt lazy and relaxed this morning. I went out into the garden for a change. The Oosima-cherry blossoms passed the peak bloom period falling with spring breeze. Tara's sprouts in the backyard were just coming out. After taking a walk in the garden for a few minutes,
I backed to my study and did Zazen.
Suddenly I thought “Now I will do calligraphy". I made cherry blossom petals flutter inside me to write Syun-puu:spring breeze.
There is a following famous phrase in Gensisiroku : Be gentle welcoming others like mild spring breeze and be strict with yourself carefully like cold autumn frost. However, it is difficult for me born in March to be strict with myself and be careful. I think everyone is easy on himself, and it is natural. It is stoic but not flexible to be strict with himself carefully thinking right or wrong.
Dogen said, "To learn the Way is to learn about oneself. To learn about oneself is to forget oneself."
Therefore, you should throw yourself here now to forget the self and be free from the mind of right and wrong. When you live with "na-mo" of devotion every moment, you would be living in the mild spring breeze in time.
The mild spring breeze≫

とても美しい英語。素敵です。見習いたいです。
私、学習しはじめましたが、少しも記憶できません。

ナモアミダブツ 南無阿弥陀仏

もう、仏教がすべて、一体になるべき時期ですね?!
仏教こそは、「人類の道」。 法ですのに・・・。
横路に分かれて、阿弥陀様が見えなくなりそうです。
