I am a novice priest-in-training. Anything that I say must not be considered as teaching
and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.
I was called from hospital at noon,lots of times.From Tokyo.
I was at Sesshin,so I can not pick calls.
Doctor said to me my mother was very big damaged at Brain,at this morning station.
I said to head monk,and stop my roll,Zazen and chant leader and time keeper.
I am at Fukui near temple and I ready to leave Tokyo(hospital)at midnight bus.
She is at dangerous situation,separate from everything,no mind(意識がない)
She have no family,only me and my son and my uncle?(おじさん)
Uncle who is 76 years old but he is at Tohoku(work at place ,keep condition of earthquake at few days ago)
L.....oooong story from my mother and me.
I vert hurted and dameged by my mother and father.They do big violence to me,,,,
But I need to go,stop leader position of this Tenryuji Sesshin,and waiting for midnight bus at Fukui.
Sometimes we suffer big problem,I can remember what Jundo said to me,about his experience.
And WW2 happend at 1940th,my grandfaher died(my father's father)at 1945 at Sea near Phillipine 36 years old,so old.and also grandfather (mother's father)suffer to do big villence to from Chinese at 1945.he must to kill lots of people.(He was also war at China from 1943)
This is fact that I become monk.
STOP THE FLOW OF THIS,noboby can not stoped.
MY father's mother try to say this fact,But she did not say,so my おじさん always talk to me.
Add my mother's mother always invite to go to temple,because,, she said I am wise.
BUT BUDDHA AND us can not stop this flow
In out SANGHA.
Like WASHIN at EUROPE. We can do effort to go peace moment by moment.
I wait to midnight bus,and thank you to allow to leave head monk at Tenryuji,
because lots of lay person SIT SESSHIN.Waiting for my hitting.thank you!
But I left here.I feel that the time will stop but can not stop.I feel nothing.Just I can remember memory
with parent at childhood.SO DEEPLY,as Washin.
We can forget but can not forget.
I can not speak and understand English,but I feel English.
BUT I FEEL.
I can remember this song.By Sinéad O'Connor Nothing Compares 2U

All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try

Many good wishes for your mother and yourself Kakunen. You know how impermanent everything is and how sudden change happens. Best we can do is to be sincere in every moment regardless of what the situation is, so please, do your best, do what’s right and know you have many people here who want to support and encourage you! Deep bows to you.
