Good times

Just now as I was bathing, I suddenly realised just how good my life is.

I get to study in a school, studying the subjects i choose, thoroughly enjoying some.

Studying with good friends who always help me out and keep me company.

Having good family members who share their experiences with me, whom teach me many things.

Having following a good Buddhist temple, which really pushes me to practice.

Having a good country with a great transport system which allows me to get from place to place so easily, without giving me any trouble of having to worry about how i should get to the place.

Having great teachers who try their best to teach us. Although some of them can't produce very good results, they still try.

Having the opportunities for me to practice the Buddhist teachings.

Having the great opportunity to pass the last 1 year safe and sound and even growing.

Having the great opportunity to return to the temple again after 1 year for the winter training and having the great opportunity to hear the Shinnyo Kyoshu-sama chant the Mitsugon-in Hotsuro Sange no Mon(Mitsugon-in words of repentance). The calmness of his voice, which reminds of the strength of the mountains, the vastnes of the skies, the calmness lakes, the deep of the oceans.

And being in the schools' Buddhist society, which made me research for articles and quotes for gratitude which I think was what made me reflect.

What can I say?

I really have really been blessed and incredible opportunities are presented to me.

Thanks everyone.

May all have the same or even better conditions and blessings than me.

With Gassho.
