日々は過ぎて。。。

ほんとに、久々再開のブログ。
実は人生に大きな試練があり、それを乗り越えている途中なのであります。
そんな中、先日友人が教えてくれた5月1日の満月の素晴らしさ。

Happy Vesak, The Day of Enlightenment.

All Buddhist from around the world consider the full moon
day of May, known as Vesak Day,
the most auspicious day of the year.
On this special day Buddhists celebrate the birth,
enlightenment and passing away of the Gotama the Buddha.

This year Vesak Full moon day falls on the first of May.
This is the time Buddhists make an extra effort to show
kindness, compassion and forgiveness,
and spend the day in religious observances.
Whether you are Buddhist or non-Buddhist
I hope you will use this opportunity to self reflect,
meditate and get involved in acts of kindness.

Buddha is one of the greatest spiritual masters
who has graced the planet earth,
blessing all truth seekers with his timeless wisdom.
His noble message has crossed religious, cultural, 
social and geographical boundaries, and has brought peace
and spiritual awakening to hundreds of millions of people for
over 25000 years.
Even today His message continues to
touch, inspire and heal people from around the world.

Recognizing the great contribution made by Buddha
and his message to humanity for over two and half centuries,
in 1999, The Untied Nations declared the full moon day of May
as the United Nations Vesak Day.

As The Royal Thai Government has hosted
the United Nations Vesak Day observances
for the third consecutive year,
Buddhist leaders from every corner of the world representing
all traditions are once again coming together in Bangkok
from the 25- 30 of May.

I am honored to participate in this special occasion
and hope that the message
we share together under the umbrella
of the Buddha Dhamma will bring more unity,
harmony and peace among.
Buddhists and non Buddhists throughout the world.
I also hope that we will walk away from this celebration
with a greater commitment to exemplify the truth,
wisdom and peace thought by the Buddha.

Happy Vesak, May you be well and happy.

窓から見える満月に身をゆだね、仏陀の生誕を思いました。
1日は大雨だったけど、その翌日はとってもきれいなお月様が・・・
いろんな再開を祝福しているような気分でした。
