It's my life in Japan ! ⇒ in Thailand now!

I'll try to write down " what I think " , " what I feel" and " what I did " on my days in  both English and Jpanese! 日々私の思うこと、感じたこと、したことを、英語と日本語の両方で綴ってみます!

Heartily !

There is much religion in the world, but it doesn't close to many Japanese everyday life.

I attended a funeral service of a wife of acquaintance in a company today.
I think that funeral service may be one of the place where many Japanese can feel religion .I'm not sure how many denominations and differences Buddhism has .
The denomination of the funeral service where I attended was the first experience for me today.The Buddhist priest said if we repeat "Namuamidabutu" with heartily,we could go to Heaven. He said that we whenever we said it once, one lotus blooms around a dead person, and a dead person can go to heaven.I felt mysterious about various creeds.

Any way I think that we must live in our life heartily and care about other people heartily ,even we beliebe different religion.

世界にはたくさんの宗教がありますが、多くの日本人の日常生活にはあまり縁がないのではないでしょうかね..。

今日私は、会社の知り合いの方の奥様のお通夜に参列しました。
お葬式というのは、日本人が宗教に触れることができる場所のひとつかもしれません。私は、仏教にどれくらいの宗派があって、どんな違いがあるのか分かりませんが、今日参列したお葬式の宗派は初めての経験でした。お坊さん曰く、「南無阿弥陀仏」と心をこめて唱えれば、天国に行けるということでした。さらには、私たちが「南無阿弥陀仏」と1回唱えるたびに、亡くなった方のまわりにハスの花が咲いて、亡くなった方が天国にいけるのだそうです。いろんな宗教があるんだなぁと不思議な気持ちになりました。

とにかく、どんな宗教を信じていても、自分以外の人たちのことも気遣って、自分の人生を大切に生きなくては。

I truly believe the same this - that we should live our life in harmony and treat others as we would like to be treated. That is the BEST religion. :) Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the funeral.
