静寂を楽しむ |
◎ 静寂に明けた朝、何と恵まれた朝だろう、と思いました。此処、岡山・吉備高原都市に移住して30年、毎朝、その幸いを感謝しています。 齢を重ね、高齢になった今、その思いは一段と深まってきました。
◎ この充実感を壊したくない。最近、そのまま、犬の散歩に出かけます。周囲の森林を縫って歩く小道・・人に出会うこともありません。この静寂の中、自然に包まれたままに半時を過ごす。至福の時。
◎ 書斎に戻ると、先ず、般若心経を唱えます。僅か273文字の一字一句が宇宙の神秘を解き明かす。誠にすんなりと、心に溶け込む不思議。これまた至福の時です。
◎ 最近は, これが私の朝の日課になりました。私は天恩の恵みに感謝の日々を過ごしております。
★ What a blessed morning that dawned in silence,
It has been 30 years since I moved in this beautiful Kibi Platea City and I have been appreciating the same happiness every morning As I grew older and became aged, but my thought further deepened.
★ As soon as I got up this morning, I went out into the garden and headed towards the sunrise and took a deep breath. I felt the fresh air that pours down from the forest surrounding my house. Took it into my rusty old body fully. It was really a revival of life that I experienced
★ I did not want to break this fulfillment. I went for a dog walk as it was. I had never encountered people on the path walking around forests. I spend half an hour while being wrapped in nature. What's a blessed time!
★ When I returned to my study, I recite the Heart Sutra. Each single word of 273 letters unraveled the mystery of the universe which easily blended into my heart. This was another time of bliss.
★ Every morning, I appreciate the Blessings of Nature in prayer and It has become a routine in the morning.
