ダライ・ラマ法王大震災犠牲者四十九日特別慰霊法要次第by His Holiness the Dalai Lama

  　

何千人という人が護国寺に集まり、ダライ・ラマ法王が到着した時には晴れていた法要が始まると曇りになり、後半の般若心経のあたりから雨雲が近づいたそして関係者とダライ・ラマ法王からお言葉を頂く時には雨がぱらついた。通訳されているとかなり強い降りに私は周囲の方に邪魔にならにように立ち、折りたたみ傘を開いた。

法王が退場になるときに車が近くにまで用意されたが、小降りになり歩いて鐘のところへ。鐘が鳴り終わると雨は止んだ。犠牲者・被災者の悲しみが現れて、ダライ・ラマ法王が日本に立ち寄ってくださった意味と偉大さを痛感しました。

Many pepople joined in prayers for victims of the northeast disaster of Japan at Gokokuji temple. It was sunny when Dalai Lama arrived.The ceremony began and it was cloudy. The last part of ceremony, we chanted Buddhist chant "Heart Sutra" and I saw rain clouds closely.When the persons concerned and He gave us speeches, it started raining a little.It was strong raining as his interpretation was announced.I got away from my seat for the others and opened my fold-up umbrella.

It was light rain as his car was ready to go, so he walked to the bell.As the bell stopped ringing, it also stopped raining.I thought that it showed many victims sorrow. His stop by Japan for the 49th ceremony of victims meant great same as his soul. 

 

 

 

 

 

福島産・紫アスパラガス！Purple Asparagus from Fukushima!

大震災から四十九日とは・・・被災地のアンテナショップも話題になってきて良かった。

2週間前に入った有機野菜のお店で、福島産の紫アスパラガスを味見。とても甘くて珍しいので購入した。豪勢なサラダになって私も元気になった。パスタにも合ったよ特産品を試してみよう

It is the 49th day ceremony for the victims of the earthquake and tunami.It is good to talk about shops which are from victims areas.

Two weeks ago, I went to organic vegetables shop and tasted a purple asparagus. It was very sweet and special,so I got them.They were luxurious salad and they made me fine. They were suitable for pasta.Let's taste their special products

 

 

 

桜をバックにこれは何でしょう？What's this in front of cherry blossoms?

週末にまだ知らぬ近隣エリアを散歩。桜がとてもきれいで夢中に川沿いを進んでいくと、ヨガ仲間でもあるC先生と知っているヨギーと遭遇C先生が「焼き立てホヤホヤのあんぱんあげるから、もう少し歩いてみなさい」と言われ元気をもらった。１時間も歩いた私。

Last weekend I took a walk arond my neighborhood which I had never been.I was completely absorbed in walking along river because of the lovely cherry blossoms.

By chance I met a yogi and a yoga teacher C familiar to me. C teacher said, " I give you a bean-jam bun which just has been baked.You can walk a little more." I got some power with it and her. I walked for an hour.

   

亀もお花見! Some turtles enjoyed cherry blossoms too!

  　　

 昨日昼間に、吉祥寺・井の頭公園に行ってきました。ポカポカの良い天気の中、池の周りを歩くと亀達も日向ぼっこ仕事の合間、リラックスタイムを満喫しました。

Yesterday afternoon, I went to Inogashira Park in Kichijoji.It was a warm spring day. I walked along the pond and I saw some turtles which were enjoying the fine day. I had a great relaxation time there on my break.
