親鸞(Shinran)

We already bought a ticket to death when we are born in. We suffer from many thing, feel happy, love, sometimes go the wrong way. I often think what did the person thought of death when the person die, when I see a death. Because we can't read the destination on the ticket.



The big difference between Christian heaven and Pure Land which 親鸞(しんらん, Shinran) preached is that even sinners(culprits) can go to Pure Land. More over, bad person can go there easier than good person.



Shinran said everyone can go to Pure Land so long as saying "南無阿弥陀仏(Namu-amidabutsu)". Namu is Nama in sanskrit and it means "lean on". "Amidabutu" means Amitabha. It is a buddha that it has endless life span and the buddha is exhaustless lights which illuminates every hand.



親鸞(しんらん, Shinran) is a founder of 浄土真宗(Jyoudo-shin-shu). It is a sect of pure land buddhism. Today, more than 10 million Japanese are belonging to his sects. Because the influence was so big, in Edo era, Shogun divided the sect into two sects. One is called "West", The other is called "East".



Shinran's teacher was 法然(ほうねん, Hounen). He is a founder of 浄土宗(Jyoudo-shu). This is also a sect of pure land buddhism. This sect also has, as I recall, about 6 million believers. There are other Pure Land Buddhism sects too. I suppose one sixth of Japanese belongs to Pure Land Buddhism. And this figure is just formal one.



Shinran was born in Kyoto in 1173(war-torn era).He became a monk of Tendai-Buddhism　when he was a child. He performed the ascetic practices and read all Buddhist for a long time, but he couldn't get enlightenment. He visited Hounen who was higher-ranked Tendai-Buddhism's monk. And he said "I can't get enlightenment however I make an effort." to Hounen. Hounen replied "Oh, you too? Actually, me too.". Before long, Shinran became a student of Hounen, and Shinran studied Hounen's thought.



The thought of Pure Land Buddhism had been imported by Tendai-Buddhism. And it is studied by many Tendai-monks. It is said Pure Land Buddhism started in central Asia. It is also said it was affected by Zoroastrianism but there is no firm evidence. It is also studied in China but it was not became any sect. Hounen is the founder the world's first.



It was a major incident that preaching that we can go to pure land so long as saying Namu-amiabutu. Naturally, Tendan monks and other sect's monks criticized Shinran. Because it meant there is no need to perform the ascetic practices, and seems to meant Shinran say yes to crime because he said bad person can go there easier than good person.



But Shinran, who was a kind of straight-A student of Tendai-Buddhism, thought he can't get enlightenment by traditional ways. He thought about himself that he is a really born idiot. He didn't think he can get enlightenment by by his own ability. As for crime, he believed firmly criminals can go to pure land because of strong anxiety and thirst for pure land. Amitabha's exhaustless lights illuminates every hand, it must be rescues even criminals from this world.



I think many books say that Pure Land Buddhism was established by Tendai monks. But it is a bit different from academic truth. Now it is said that Hounen is also affected by pure land buddhism of Todai-ji temple. Todai-ji temple is a temple of 華厳仏教(Kegon Buddhism). Some monks of Kegon Buddhism were also study about Pure land Buddhism and they explained the rationale for Pure Land Buddhism. Hounen and Shinran had a relationship with them and they established their own thought. Today, researchers are studying about this relation. This is nowadays hot topic in Buddhism study.



In the early days, I can't understand, but I found that Pure Land Buddhism and Zen buddhism are very similar as researchers can't explain the difference clearly. Perhaps, I think these are same but difference is born depending on point of view. That is, when we see Buddhist wisdom from view point of our own, Zen buddhism can be established. When we see it from view point of outer world, pure land buddhism can be established. Zen monks practice because they walk the road. Shinran's Pure land buddhists only say Namu-Amidabutsu because they are waiting to be illuminated by lights of Buddha. Aught, no one can exist as an mere actor.



Christian God is totally different from Amitabha. In the ultimate sense, God is creator of this world but Amitabha is the world. In Meiji(1868-1912) era, there are some people who were converted to Christian faith from Pure Land Buddhism because they thought Pure Land Buddhism and Christian faith are similar and Christian faith is superior to Pure Land Buddhism. I don't talk about relative merits but the conclusion was a bit too hasty from view point of nowadays. I said Pure Land Buddhism has relation with Kegon Buddhism. That talked about the Buddhist World is Kegon Buddhism. (Kegon Buddhism is also a logical basis of Zen Buddhism. Rather it is famous as Zen's basis. ) Therefore, we should walk about Japanese Pure Land Buddhism as a extensive form of Kegon Buddhism too. I suppose Zen and Pure Land buddhism are a kind of "brother".



As for Kegon Buddhism, to put simply, its thought is from Taishaku's net and śūnya and Yoga buddhism. Please refer to my other blogs, Japanese Fall, Red Leaves Falling, 帝釈網(Taishakumou), śūnya etc.



Accurately, Shinran seems didn't think he established a sect. It seems just he is regarded as the founder. About misstep of the sect is that they don't foster many researchers, I think. Nowadays monks of his sect don't know much about their own thought. Just they perform ceremonies. As to ground of that we can go to pure land with us saying Namuamidabutsu is written on Buddhist text.



I wanted to talk about Shinran more, because he is very important person. But I will talk about him again on other topics.



Hmm, I have no idea what I do today. Maybe I'll take a nap.

Talk about Music player and Japanese lesson 1.

Hi everyone, you think printers often break down? I always din myself that everything is śūnya when my printer break down. You think Walkman often broke down? I always complain it, saying that "It is a SONY" 's sales-promotion gimmick to make consumer to buy new one.



I like iPod because it is strong. What is bad about iPod is battery, I said yesterday, and is deterioration of sound's quality. It is better than a little while ago MP3, but basically CD is best.



I always used to buy Walkman since I was a 13 years old. Last year I bought iPod though. The reason I bought Walkman many times is that SONY's sound adheres to original sound relatively. Because SONY is a company makes recording devices for music studio. In Japan, we can buy portable CD players made by Panasonic and by Aiwa etc, but SONY is best. Now I'm consider to walk into SONY's trap again. But iPod is convenient. I'm considering.



Well, as to Japanese lesson. I don't teach you seriously.



Lesson 1 "Similar-sounding word", There are many languages in the world. Sometimes a word in one language can be understood as another foreign words. I write about the strict truth on today's blog, with a focus on Japanese.



similar-sounding word



Go men!



Gomen in Japanese. It means "Sorry". This is not polite apology, though it is common. "Gomen nasai" is better. You can say this to your friend but You need to briefly pronounce go's "o". Many Japanese know what "Go men!" means in English.





Hola! Que tal (Spanish)



The expression is written as "Oraketara" (Olaketala) There is no difference between "R" and "L" in Japanese. Olaketala means "I kick you!". Ola is interjectional word, I think. For example "Hey men!". "Ketala" is very similar to "Kettalaa" which means "I kick you" in this case.



Qu'est-ce que c'est? (French)



It sounds "Ketsu-kuse?" in Japanese. It means "Your butt smells bad?". Ketsu means butt. Kuse(Kusee)? means "smells bad?". Often, Qu'est-ce is written as "Kesu" in Japanese. But the greeting is famous as "Ketsu-kuse". Mightbe, many Japanese don't know what "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" means in French. But most of all Japanese knows it as "Your butt smells bad?".



Your language has any funny example?

Lesson 1 "Similar-sounding word", There are many languages in the world. Sometimes a word in one language can be understood as another foreign words. I write about the strict truth on today's blog, with a focus on Japanese.



similar-sounding word



Go men!



Gomen in Japanese. It means "Sorry". This is not polite apology, though it is common. "Gomen nasai" is better. You can say this to your friend but You need to briefly pronounce go's "o". Many Japanese know what "Go men!" means in English.





Hola! Que tal (Spanish)



The expression is written as "Oraketara" (Olaketala) There is no difference between "R" and "L" in Japanese. Olaketala means "I kick you!". Ola is interjectional word, I think. For example "Hey men!". "Ketala" is very similar to "Kettalaa" which means "I kick you" in this case.



Qu'est-ce que c'est? (French)



It sounds "Ketsu-kuse?" in Japanese. It means "Your butt smells bad?". Ketsu means butt. Kuse(Kusee)? means "smells bad?". Often, Qu'est-ce is written as "Kesu" in Japanese. But the greeting is famous as "Ketsu-kuse". Mightbe, many Japanese don't know what "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" means in French. But most of all Japanese knows it as "Your butt smells bad?".



Your language has any funny example?

Have a nice weekend and Have a nice sunday!

東京徒然草 二〇〇七年一月二十六日

My blog's tittle is "Tokyo Essays in Idleness". "Essays in Idleness" means 徒然草(Tureduregusa) which is a classic literature of Japan(14th century), one of three major essays in Japan. It is written by 吉田兼好(Yoshida Kenkou). It is said he wrote it just to kill time but the substance is how human lives in the world. It is a hermitic literature. That's why I titled. You know this is English edition. I have Japanese one.



Well, I use an ipod but its battery runs out soon these days. I need a new battery but it seems it is better to buy new ipod. However, I guess new one's battery come to goes flat soon. I want Mac to make ipod which run on dry battery.



That's why last sunday I bought a Book titled "Kikutan super 12000" it contains English words and CD. ( In addition, I bought it because I thought it contains 12000 words but in fact it contains only 1200 words.) Many English words are pronounced in Japanese-English. So, often I've said it as Japanese pronounce. I need to listen English words which I haven't listened.



When I say "Sit down please", always I remember my friend said it at high school. His pronunciation was not good. So, he has said "shit down please". Because his "delivery" was so sensational, infectiously I might say it even now. always I take care not to say "shit". Of course, no one pronounce "h" in Japan. Just he was a funny boy.



I was a student of international corse. The English teachers were really nice. They were from Pennsylvania. The days they come to school, I always visit their office, and talked with them. They told me that certain Japanese student can be good student in America. And he said "you are a good student in America except your napping." to me. Although I lost contact, someday I do want meet with them. When I image ideal American, always I image them even now.



When I was a high school student. I always used to eat something. I bought rice balls on the way to school. I ate them during the first class sneakily. I went to school cafeteria after the class and I ate Udon or Soba(both are Japanese noodle). After second class, I ate hamburger. After third class, I ate yoghurt and played base ball with my friend. After the fourth class, I again went to school cafeteria and ate Katu-don (pork cutlet on rice) or Katu-teishoku(combination meal with pork-katu) and played base ball again. After the 5th, 6th, 7th class, I ate again or played base ball sometimes both. On the way to home, sometimes I went to Chinese restaurant and ate at least 3 dishes, and of course I ate dinner at home.



If I do such thing now, my stomach would burst like balloons. I take care to eat plain food these years. Rather, plain food is delicious. However, in Japan, plain food is often more expensive than others now.



Generally speaking, Japanese monks eat meat and drink. Many monks ate duck sneakily in olden days. Precisely they didn't drink but drannk Hannya-tou. They call alcoholic beverage as Hannya-tou. Hannya means wisdom. Tou menas hot water.



I haven't heard Buddha drank in India. But according my teacher, Buddha and his followers seems to also ate pork meat. Researchers found the evidence from the sites. My friend who is a monk was glad after the class. :-) However, I've heard that animal protein is not good for meditation.



To get back to my original point,,,, I don't know which one is original point though, maybe Topic about English is the original point. Well, I don't make progress on English studying these days. As a last resort, I decided to memorize more English words. This is easy, just memorizing.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

My school of thought and so on.

My school of thought, sect, had big influence on world of thought in Meiji era. Many took a firm stand western thoughts. Academic truth are common in academic conference but it seems school characteristics would be handed down in junior fellow, including me, over the century.



I often deny western thought. But it doesn't mean I deny western western thought but denies Japanese western thought's dark side. I want to confirm about it again. As far as I know the old members were also too.



For example, individualism. It is vital factor to unify American people have varied culture. But it is said it tears apart Japanese people. Someone say the reason is Japan is originally individualism country. That is, although Japanese properly act as a team. It is a superficial aspect of Japanese. Actually, Japanese are in an unbound state. While friendly attitude, Japanese often speak behind someone's back. That is, people with non-similar values live in this country. Americans share the same values but Japanese don't. When war happen, Americans bizarrely come together. This is inexplicable American bent for Japanese. Americans are unified. But Japanese don't and aren't. Japanese come together and work collaboratively very well. But, in essence, we don't come together mentally. So, individualism act as disassembling drug. I'm not sure this hypothesis is true or not. But as for Japanese, I think it is basically true.



Again, originally Japanese are in an unbound state. In other words, Japanese originally interacting structure. So, Japanese needed to develop by its own way. Japanese western individualism might only brings confusion into Japan. In other words, individualism is not special local product in western country. It is obvious fact. All human is individual all over the world. Someone call the Japanese original individualism as "Maltilateral Individualism.". In other words, Individualism and adjust function coexisted in Japan. When I hear this, I thought Buddhist thoughts are similar. We are same but different and we are.



I know many people who say Japanese society is backward. But if you hear it. You can have a doubt. That is, in most cases, those who say so are communist or socialist. They put Japanese society on western history. It is obvious the history is not Japanese one. It is also sure super extra right wing tend to skew history. So, I often say both left wing and super extra right wing skew the history. So, I say studying history is important.



Socialist and Communist called peaceful power by Korea. As I recall China also call it as so. China regards Japanese socialist and communist has true historical perspective. The reason is that China is communist country. It is a risibly simple logic at the core, I think.

We need a historical perspective which is not right wing and also not left wing, but which can be called as true. By chance, I want to write about this later.



Meiji era was literature men's era. They tried to seek out what they are in the modern age. It indicates that Japanese lost their self sense amid the rapid westernization. Thoughts were thrown into turmoil in the rapidly changing social situation. My school of thought held a warning for people.



There are many Japanese admire Meiji Restoration. Emperor became absolute which integrates Japanese thought. But I think, it means Japanese thoughts lost inclusiveness. Because of lacking inclusiveness, emperor was needed as polysynthetic symbol.



It seems on the site of elite education, students were taught that emperor is political tool but others taught about it as god. It seems that the answer of my question once I wrote is the matter of inclusiveness.



As the result, the age my school thought predicted became true after the WWII. Individualistic　bad effect, lost nationality, educational issue and so on. (I don't know detail about them though) I suppose when one study history and philosophy, the one can predict future to some extent. So, Japan need to develop research what we are more than now.

It seems world has been changing to western country. I don't think west or east is not true problem. True problem is that many country doesn't know what they are.



These days I had written many very serious topics. I'll try to seek out funny topic for a while.

These days I had written many very serious topics. I'll try to seek out funny topic for a while.

Iran's truth studied by Japanese.

Today I saw State of the Union address, it seems Bush was rather frightened. He seems to be sensitive to the mood of people in the Congress. As for his policy in the Middle East, I deny he is wrong with confidence. It is not only just about the war but his basic understanding about middle east is wrong. His mistakes is often elementary. So I've often suspected him that he may deliberately miscue.



Last sunday, I saw a TV program that a journalist report about Iran. The information and opinion the journalist said is same as what I studied about Iran at university. The reporter said he could freely gather information in Iran. And Japan is the most advanced country in Iran-study among developed country because we are a third party, we should see Iran from view point of us, my teacher said.



It is obviously Iran is not axis of evil. If he wants to mention about women's issues, he should criticize Saudi Arabia at first. Iranian women have political suffrage but in Saudi, women don't have it.



If he wants to criticize Iran to undermine freedom of speech, he should criticize Singapore at first. Singaporean can't discuss politics in public while Iranian can do it.



If he wants to change Iran to totally democratic country, he should not involve in Iran. Some of them want human rights but activists don't want America to help them.



Iranian government don't censor news papers, precisely it can ban to publish. People have a strong political awareness, at least than Japanese, there are many politically aware women.

I've heard 80% of political journalists is women in Iran, while men have much interest in sports.



If he wants to criticize Iran about people who doesn't get a referral by supreme leader can't become candidate, he should criticize China, needles to say.



If he wants to criticize Iran about atomic power generation and wants to bomb, he should bomb Pakistan at first. Might be France too. Oh, might be, he should bomb his own country at first, this is common emotion in Japan, to be honest.



Feminist activist in western countries seems to often mixed up male chauvinism in west with Islam, expediently I use this word, "male chauvinism" in Islam. However, basic concepts are different from westerner's one. It is also can be understand as aegis policy for women. Even if it is a problem, they, including common women, should carefully deal with it. It seems to be sure that compensation money is half of men when woman is killed in a traffic accident. But I don't think it can be a reason of bombing. I guess China is worser as for compensation money. Some or many would automatically say Iranian policy about woman is wrong. I would say so if it was Japan. But I'm sure people start to consider from the basics of what is Islam. Without the considering, it can be just antipathy.



It is sure that there are women who don't want to blot out their face but it is sure that CNN like medias round up those women who are alternative. It is sure there are many women who want to blot out it out of their volition. I don't think this is just a matter of volition though. My teacher said "Don't believe what western Medias say about Islam. They skew without a thought.".



I don't want to become a muslim. It is totally different from I am. But even if Islam was wrong, I'm sure it is not matter what we should involved in. It is a cultural matter I can't deal with. We should not shake up Islam but we should consider how we can coexist.



It seems Bush thinks democracy and Islam conflict. But, it is a joke like opinion though, population of Muslim has been increasing while it is declining in developed country. If all hod a election. Muslim would win. Muslim is also a globalization.



Some one would criticize blending of religion and state. But rather it is not out of the way in history. I don't think blending of religion and state is good for Japan, but it seems Tibet was a blending country.



Culture is sensitive. From a point of view, I say culture is not selective　actually. Rather there are cases that we shouldn't select it. Kids in Iran like Mickey Mouse. But it is sure majority in Iran don't want America to help them.



I don't think Iran is very good country as western country. But it is matter of course because it is not a western country. The reporter said the situation in Iran is much better than royalism age. It seems many regard Iran as fundamentalism, but Japanese researchers don't regard as so. It is regarded as reactionary-ism. Accurately, Fundamentalism is a term only for Christian faith.



As for nuke, this is complex matter but even if Iran is bad country, I don't think Bush should bomb them. Rather, it may be that Bush should change off Japan. I suppose Japan would sort out the problem. Rather this is a task of Japan, friendly nation of Iran, should do. Japan is not an object of hatred, rather I've heard Muslim propagandists　who came to Japan was astonished saying Japanese are more Islamic. And some politicians intend to do this in Japan.



At last, again, Iran is not axis of evil. If Bush bomb Iran, Iraq again.

I don't think Iran is very good country as western country. But it is matter of course because it is not a western country. The reporter said the situation in Iran is much better than royalism age. It seems many regard Iran as fundamentalism, but Japanese researchers don't regard as so. It is regarded as reactionary-ism. Accurately, Fundamentalism is a term only for Christian faith.



As for nuke, this is complex matter but even if Iran is bad country, I don't think Bush should bomb them. Rather, it may be that Bush should change off Japan. I suppose Japan would sort out the problem. Rather this is a task of Japan, friendly nation of Iran, should do. Japan is not an object of hatred, rather I've heard Muslim propagandists　who came to Japan was astonished saying Japanese are more Islamic. And some politicians intend to do this in Japan.



At last, again, Iran is not axis of evil. If Bush bomb Iran, Iraq again.



I took the photo at Tokorozawa city.

Iran's truth studied by Japanese.

Today I saw State of the Union address, it seems Bush was rather frightened. He seems to be sensitive to the mood of people in the Congress. As for his policy in the Middle East, I deny he is wrong with confidence. It is not only just about the war but his basic understanding about middle east is wrong. His mistakes is often elementary. So I've often suspected him that he may deliberately miscue.



Last sunday, I saw a TV program that a journalist report about Iran. The information and opinion the journalist said is same as what I studied about Iran at university. The reporter said he could freely gather information in Iran. And Japan is the most advanced country in Iran-study among developed country because we are a third party, we should see Iran from view point of us, my teacher said.



It is obviously Iran is not axis of evil. If he wants to mention about women's issues, he should criticize Saudi Arabia at first. Iranian women have political suffrage but in Saudi, women don't have it.



If he wants to criticize Iran to undermine freedom of speech, he should criticize Singapore at first. Singaporean can't discuss politics in public while Iranian can do it.



If he wants to change Iran to totally democratic country, he should not involve in Iran. Some of them want human rights but activists don't want America to help them.



Iranian government don't censor news papers, precisely it can ban to publish. People have a strong political awareness, at least than Japanese, there are many politically aware women.

I've heard 80% of political journalists is women in Iran, while men have much interest in sports.



If he wants to criticize Iran about people who doesn't get a referral by supreme leader can't become candidate, he should criticize China, needles to say.



If he wants to criticize Iran about atomic power generation and wants to bomb, he should bomb Pakistan at first. Might be France too. Oh, might be, he should bomb his own country at first, this is common emotion in Japan, to be honest.



Feminist activist in western countries seems to often mixed up male chauvinism in west with Islam, expediently I use this word, "male chauvinism" in Islam. However, basic concepts are different from westerner's one. It is also can be understand as aegis policy for women. Even if it is a problem, they, including common women, should carefully deal with it. It seems to be sure that compensation money is half of men when woman is killed in a traffic accident. But I don't think it can be a reason of bombing. I guess China is worser as for compensation money. Some or many would automatically say Iranian policy about woman is wrong. I would say so if it was Japan. But I'm sure people start to consider from the basics of what is Islam. Without the considering, it can be just antipathy.



It is sure that there are women who don't want to blot out their face but it is sure that CNN like medias round up those women who are alternative. It is sure there are many women who want to blot out it out of their volition. I don't think this is just a matter of volition though. My teacher said "Don't believe what western Medias say about Islam. They skew without a thought.".



I don't want to become a muslim. It is totally different from I am. But even if Islam was wrong, I'm sure it is not matter what we should involved in. It is a cultural matter I can't deal with. We should not shake up Islam but we should consider how we can coexist.



It seems Bush thinks democracy and Islam conflict. But, it is a joke like opinion though, population of Muslim has been increasing while it is declining in developed country. If all hod a election. Muslim would win. Muslim is also a globalization.

My school of thought and so on.

My school of thought, sect, had big influence on world of thought in Meiji era. Many took a firm stand western thoughts. Academic truth are common in academic conference but it seems school characteristics would be handed down in junior fellow, including me, over the century.



I often deny western thought. But it doesn't mean I deny western western thought but denies Japanese western thought's dark side. I want to confirm about it again. As far as I know the old members were also too.



For example, individualism. It is vital factor to unify American people have varied culture. But it is said it tears apart Japanese people. Someone say the reason is Japan is originally individualism country. That is, although Japanese properly act as a team. It is a superficial aspect of Japanese. Actually, Japanese are in an unbound state. While friendly attitude, Japanese often speak behind someone's back. That is, people with non-similar values live in this country. Americans share the same values but Japanese don't. When war happen, Americans bizarrely come together. This is inexplicable American bent for Japanese. Americans are unified. But Japanese don't and aren't. Japanese come together and work collaboratively very well. But, in essence, we don't come together mentally. So, individualism act as disassembling drug. I'm not sure this hypothesis is true or not. But as for Japanese, I think it is basically true.



Again, originally Japanese are in an unbound state. In other words, Japanese originally interacting structure. So, Japanese needed to develop by its own way. Japanese western individualism might only brings confusion into Japan. In other words, individualism is not special local product in western country. It is obvious fact. All human is individual all over the world. Someone call the Japanese original individualism as "Maltilateral Individualism.". In other words, Individualism and adjust function coexisted in Japan. When I hear this, I thought Buddhist thoughts are similar. We are same but different and we are.



I know many people who say Japanese society is backward. But if you hear it. You can have a doubt. That is, in most cases, those who say so are communist or socialist. They put Japanese society on western history. It is obvious the history is not Japanese one. It is also sure super extra right wing tend to skew history. So, I often say both left wing and super extra right wing skew the history. So, I say studying history is important.



Socialist and Communist called peaceful power by Korea. As I recall China also call it as so. China regards Japanese socialist and communist has true historical perspective. The reason is that China is communist country. It is a risibly simple logic at the core, I think.

We need a historical perspective which is not right wing and also not left wing, but which can be called as true. By chance, I want to write about this later.



Meiji era was literature men's era. They tried to seek out what they are in the modern age. It indicates that Japanese lost their self sense amid the rapid westernization. Thoughts were thrown into turmoil in the rapidly changing social situation. My school of thought held a warning for people.



There are many Japanese admire Meiji Restoration. Emperor became absolute which integrates Japanese thought. But I think, it means Japanese thoughts lost inclusiveness. Because of lacking inclusiveness, emperor was needed as polysynthetic symbol.



It seems on the site of elite education, students were taught that emperor is political tool but others taught about it as god. It seems that the answer of my question once I wrote is the matter of inclusiveness.



As the result, the age my school thought predicted became true after the WWII. Individualistic　bad effect, lost nationality, educational issue and so on. (I don't know detail about them though) I suppose when one study history and philosophy, the one can predict future to some extent. So, Japan need to develop research what we are more than now.

It seems world has been changing to western country. I don't think west or east is not true problem. True problem is that many country doesn't know what they are.



These days I had written many very serious topics. I'll try to seek out funny topic for a while.

Spy

It is my principle that I come in for an interview as much as I can when I work. Although I can receive information from a paper. But it is not enough. When I know the client and know what the client image and think of it, I can analyze and can make a reminder to the client. If I don't do this, I can't understand what I should do for the client.



Information is just an information. When I analyze, the information can become valuable　information. I guess more or less every kind of job are same.



When we are studying, often we face one information has something similar to others. Often it has same word, same expression as others. However, sometimes or often, we find that it is very different from what we regarded as same thing.



Even if an author deny something, it may means author affected by what he denies. For example, as to Buddhism, Doctrines of Chu-tzu denied Zen but it was obviously affected by Zen. Zen buddhism regards Buddhism of Buddha in India but, in fact, it is more similar to Chuang-tzu and Lao-tzu.



That is, information conceals something. It is interesting to prize out what the information has. When we deal with the meaning the information truly has, we can deal with the information. Informations we can get daily are not purified enough.



I anew thought such thing today. In fact, in a train, I was reading a interesting book about "intelligence", that is, Spy. Now spies come to Japan from all over the world to get informations. Tokyo is treasure house of informations now, all keymem are eavesdropped on by Spies all over the world except Washington, DC, according to the book written by a ex-diplomat of Japan and by a journalist. I may meet with 007 in Tokyo.



Today I have only 15 minutes to write. I may write about spy more later.



Have a nice day.
