【Monthly teachings of Buddha after Shingon Fire Ritual, with Koike Yonin, Sumadera-temple KOBE JAPAN】

People may be busy working, possibly tired of their work whose result they cannot see.

As I was a trainee monk, one of the instructors gave me the words of wisdom, “Busy in Flowers.”

I was really busy. Sometimes I was really tired of my days. But in the end, I found myself in flowery scent granted to me for the work I’d done.

If you are anxious about your busyness and about to give up something, please remind yourself that you are, too, in flowers.
