July 15

Dead man walking

This bag of bones

Has traveled around the sun

68 times

Around the sun

I am grateful

I am thankful

I am sorry for all the wrongs I have done

(too many to list here)

I am happy to be on this earth

With you my friends

You are all my teachers

Gassho

Sentient beings are numberless. I vow to save them all. Delusions are endless. I vow to cut through them all. The teachings are infinite. I vow to learn them all. The Buddha Way is inconceivable. I vow to attain it.

Shabbat Shalom

The sigh becomes a butterfly in the flower field

Tumblr media

This is a haiku poetry written by a 17-year-old Japanese schoolgirl.

I've introduced it here because the sensibility of "a sigh becomes a butterfly" is so wonderful.

On the back of the Oi, Ocha tea bags, haiku by boys and girls from all over the country are introduced, and I look forward to reading them every time I make tea.

Green tea is one of the oldest Japanese zen traditions, originating from Eisai, a Zen monk around the 12th century. The supposedly bitter matcha green tea flavour is now mixed with sugar and milk and is popular all over the world. I regularly use "Oi, Ocha" tea bags for this time-honoured green tea, which is super easy and tasty.

Tumblr media

"ため息は、蝶になりけり、花畑"

これは日本の17歳の女子高生が作った俳句。「ため息が蝶になる」という感性がとても素晴らしいので、ご紹介した。

「お〜い、お茶」のティーバッグの裏には、全国の少年少女たちの俳句が紹介されている（以前は大人バージョンだったような）毎回、お茶を入れる度に楽しみに読んでいる。

緑茶は、12世紀ごろの禅僧、栄西由来の日本古来の伝統の一つ。苦ーいはずの抹茶味は、砂糖とミルクを混ぜ、現在では世界中で人気の味となっている。その由緒正しい緑茶を、私は超簡単で美味な「お〜い、お茶」のティーバッグを常用して飲んでいる。

絵画で言えば、気の遠くなるようなルネサンスのテンペラ技法から、油で描けるが乾くのに時間がかかり面倒な油絵具へ、そして乾きが早く水で洗えるアクリル絵具に進化し、今やAIアプリを使えば、手を汚す必要すらない…みたいなものだ。
