About a teacher.

Today I bought a magazine of buddhist thought because I found one teacher I liked wrote for this month's issue. :-D This month's issue is "What mind is?". He explains on Buddha's pure mind. I can hear the good old voice from his article. He was the teacher of the teachers. He has a great narrative power. He always got me into his world. I want to attend to his class again if I can.



He was an interviewer of my entrance exams. I had a plan to take another university's exam though, I decided to enter the university because I became to like him. I talked openly about me at the test and he looked like had a good feeling toward me. I said "I was inspired in 6-school-philosophy too. " to him looked serious. He suspiciously said "Do you understand what they are explain? for example which ponint are you interested in?". I totally balled up and said "I'm sorry. I don't know much about it. 背伸びをしてしまいました。 (I've tried to say beyond my knowledge!)". I thought it was a big fault. But He suddenly smile from ear to ear and said "Haha! No problem! Trying to do beyond one's power is fine thing! Get going on it!". I said "But,,,,although I couldn't understand, I get interested in their way of thinking so much. For example whether cause includes result or not? I believe I need to study ways of thinking!". He said "Oh! Great!" Then the interview test had good ambience.



In his class, he taught me some very important things to study. "Attitude" was one of them. He said "Perspective to see things" and "Attitude to see things" are very different. People tends to mix up those two. I noticed one thing after the year. He often talked about religion philosophy along with my reports.



Well, I want to take a walk tonight. Have a nice week.
