『心偈』7

柳宗悦『心偈』

「追ウヤ 佛ヲ 追ハレツルニ」

 People run after the Buddha in spite of people are ran down the Buddha.

 

Many people think that we ask somebody the way, adore Buddha's teaching, run after the Buddha and pile up various efforts.

It seems just like that, but if I run after the Buddha, in fact " we run after the Buddha,"and "the Buddha runs after us indeed" is the aspect is that.

The fact is weakness of us that we don't have the power of running after the Buddha.

Because the Buddha knows it, he doesn't let us go.

Though we understand this, If we are in far from the Buddha, the power of the Buddha wouldn't put us far away.

However we run after the Buddha, we can't reach the speed or  the strength of the Buddha run after us.

You might reach the world of religion already, if you understand followed passiveness of is much more  than active that I run after the Buddha.

They are running after the Buddha  is ran after the Buddha at once.

"death" means "the coming" of Buddha to welcome the spirits of the dead.

 

 

まだまだですが始動。今日もup。まだ三日坊主に満たないですが。

 

数字で見ると、去年は一昨年の5分の1の数しかアップできていませんでした。

『心偈』全体のほぼ3分の1が訳出されていて、あと3分の2が今年の仕事です。

そこからがいよいよ本番で、全体の整合性というか、そもそもの単語の正当性について練って行かねばなりません。

 

去年はPTA、子ども会、地区委員など、奉仕活動に精を出しました。

もうしばらくそれも続きますが、今年は何としても完訳します。
