Honolulu Myohoji Missionさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Honolulu Myohoji MissionInstagram)「Storytelling by Dr. Yukari #1: “Two Travelers” January 7, 2021 From our lives at home or at work, nearly every aspect of our daily life has been affected by the on-going pandemic that began in early 2020. We all must channel our power of resilience and flexibility to tackle challenges we will face in 2021. For the New Year of 2021, Honolulu Myohoji will be offering a new outreach program including online therapeutic coaching sessions along with storytelling by Dr. Yukari. Collected from all over the world, these stories are meant to help regain power and understanding and will be a part of “Dr. Yukari’s Zoom Lounge”. The collection of stories span from Buddhism and other religions along with fables, and real life stories from our communities. During this time, there are people taking to the internet to discuss and share current challenges. We encourage you to take a moment to reflect and open yourself up to the wisdom teachings available. One day, a man journeyed through a village in the valley and made his way towards a hill top village. The traveler had left the village in the valley a few hours ago. While he was walking, he passed by a monk working on a farm. “Hello Dear Monk, I see you are working so hard! I stayed in the village in the valley last night and I am currently headed towards the village over the summit. I was wondering if you could tell me more about the next village?” The monk stopped his work and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He faced the traveler and asked, “How was the village you stayed at last night?” “Dear Monk, I must tell you about what a terrible place it was. For starters, the people were rude, stingy, and didn’t care to share their food with me. They also sheltered me, but they housed me with the dogs and horses. I didn’t even understand what they were saying. They spoke a strange and unfamiliar language.” “Well, I am afraid to tell you that the next village over the summit will probably do the same.” - to be continued - * * * * #ハワイ #ハワイ好きな人と繋がりたい #ハワイだいすき #ハワイ好き #オアフ島 #ホノルル妙法寺 #honolulumyohoji #honolulumyohojimission M #hawaii #hawaiilife #hawaiian #luckywelivehawaii #hawaiiliving #hawaiistyle #hawaiivacation」1月9日 13時27分
