Hi brother Kakunen,

All this is also Buddha. May your mother be at peace.

Please let go of the past. All you have now is this moment to be with her. Just be a Buddha for her.

Sending a lot of metta and love for you.

Keeping you in my thoughts, Kakunen. That must be terribly painful, especially with your difficult history with your mother. It is noble of you to visit her in her time of need.

About Jouman-ji

Hi

I talked last week at weekly Zazenkai.

I talked about my practice,I was at Jouman-ji for 6 years ago.

Master Keizan's 1st temple Joumanji,have gread tradition.

And I really big respect to head monk Koya Tamura.

I learned lots of things from him.

I try to share video about Jouman-ji.

In Japanese,but you can see so beautiful temple,I think.

I try to write about practice at Jouman-ji,later.

And again,I try to share Koya's English talk later.

English talk from head monk Koya

My heart is always with him.

And I was big influenced by him,so my talk is like him I think.

Buddhism is normally teached from teacher to student.

And student become teacher.

This is the way of Soto style.I respect this style.

He can speak English well,so many people from overseas to practice at there.

I also practice Antaiji.Zen is all around world.

禅は世界に広がっています。私はとてもうれしいです。
