(Continuation from yesterday)
Last weekend, I had the first anniversary of father's death.
In the temple, which was the venue, the monk was giving out the sutra for the purpose of chanting it.
I didn't join to chat but try to translate the sutra into English in order to shake off my drowsiness
-----
Wife: "What is it like?"
Ebata:"For example, "It is the most important relationship of Buddhism to make the meaning of both life and death clear""
Wife:"I feel that the value of sutra is going down dynamically"
I did not deny her opinion.
Set it aside.
-----
During the sutra, I heard that the last name of my elder sister, not her father's last name (Ebata), appeared many times, and made a wry smile.
Well, it is also both my father and my wish that my sister's house will prosper without disasters in the future.
My sister was then complaining to the monk and was apologetic to me.
However, it was a happening that my policy of "After all, name is just a sign" was triggered in my way.
-----
This happening was the good topic of my greetings of lunch party after the venue.
"I think today's little accident was a memory of this first anniversary"
"The happiness and prosperity of all your family here is my father wish and my wish too."
"Today, it was expressed in a pleasant way. Everyone. Cheers!"
