Entry for December 07, 2007

I have just fully recovered. I tried an aspirin contained medicine this time and it worked well.

Also I took "葛根湯(Kakkontou)", a chinese medicine, too. In Japan, as I recall, we couldn't buy aspirin contained medicines at drug stores without a medical prescription. So, probably this was the first time to buy it at a drug store.



In Japan, this month, December, is called as "師走(Shiwasu)" which means "Teacher runs". It is busy on December as much as even teachers have to run. No wonder I have to run. End of this month. Also I have three private events this month. Very busy.



These years, I perform a purification ceremony at Kitain-temple in Kawagoe city on New Year's Month. It is my sect's temple and there is 不動明王(Cetaka) in the main-hall.　Next year is 20th year of Heisei era. Maybe, 2668 of Koki(Japan's imperial century).



I saw a TV news that Barack Hussein Obama Jr is dominant over Clinton now. His name is interesting. Barack sounds バラック in Japanese. And it means "a hut; a shanty; a shack". Obama is as if Japaenese family name. 小浜 equals to Obama. 小(o) means small. 浜(hama, bama) means beach. "A shanty on the small beach" is his name. Also Hussein sounds 布施院 in Japanese. 布施（fuse, ふせ) means "an offering" and this is a buddhist term. 院(in) means "a temple". "A shanty temple called Fuse-in on the small beach". Very Japanese aspect in his name. :-)



It seems I still fell not well. I have to sleep.



Have a nice week.
