I woke up with sore muscle from yesterday’s bowling. Still, it is okay because we had fun at the school event.
In the afternoon I watched the lecture of the homeopath course. The teacher shared Ryokan-san’s words and they resonated with my soul. He was a Zen Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit.
災難に逢う時節には災難に逢うがよく候
死ぬ時節には死ぬがよく候
これはこれ災難をのがるる妙法にて候
良寛
His words resonated with my soul at this moment. It might not if the timing is different from now. His words resonated with me right now because I have finally reached to the point where I can fully understand what he means.
He shared his wisdom when we meet catastrophe. He recommends us not to get panicky, rather, to accept the situation in front of us. Once we accept our fate and let it be, we can stay calm. Even if the catastrophe take our lives, once we fully accept our destiny, the leaving the physical body, the departure from this world to back to our original homeland will be taken place with peace.
