The first thing I was asked in France was, "give me money". He repeated "S'il vous plaît"
Having no money than he did, I walked down the street for a while.
Made up my mind, turned back there to Takuhatsu with him, he was no longer there.
Just asked all the hornets to leave the roof, guess she is the granddaughter of a former resident ? Sorry to do this but....

The theme of the lecture the day before yesterday, Vulnerability (Verletzlichkeit) is translated as "脆弱性(ZeijakuSei)" in Japanese. But ZeijakuSei is almost never heard outside of computer term and there is no exact translation that can be found in the dictionaly.
A Google search finds 500 million for Mindfulness, 1.3 billion for Vulnerability, and less than 100 million for ZeijakuSei.
Looking back on my own life, Vulnerability was the catalyst for my Buddhist path, and it is also a crucial element for the sangha life in the nature.
I hope to see the creation of a new Japanese language, while also feeling the good fortune of not having a exact translation for it.
"Tou San Rin Ku Jaku"
A verse from the "Tenpatsu no Ge". The very first sutra we chant before opening our Oryôki. We look over the history of the manners we are about to practice, all the way back to Buddha's time, and give our thoughts to the origin of Oryôki.
1 Bus-sho kabira
2 Jo do makada
3 Sep-po harana
4 Nyu metsu kuchira5 Nyorai o ryōki
6 Gakon toku futen
7 Gangu issai shu
8 To san rin ku ja ku
1 The Buddha was born as a prince of the Shaka-family, in a castle called Cabila.
2 Realizing the vanity of life, he left the royal family. After going through asceticism, he reached enlightenment under a bo tree in the land of Makada.
3 He began to preach in the land of Harana,
4 died in Kuchira.
5 The Oryôki which has been handed down to us from the Buddha.
6 Now I am opening the same thing.
7 Together with the ones who give, the ones who are given, the gifts itself, and all the existence,
8 may we reach the state of selflessness

A nurse friend of mine told me about a medicine related to Japan, called "ivermectin".
In Tokyo, doctors at Kitasato University are looking for people to help them conduct a clinical trial of this medicine.
Honestly, I don't know much about this medicine in detail, but from what I could find out briefly, I feel it has the potential to break the current situation, so I'll share it here.
They are looking for test subjects in Tokyo, and I have passed this information on to two people I know who have tested positive.
If you have a connection to Japan and possibly have any idea, please share the information to someone who can help Kitasato Univ with the clinical trial. I would appreciate it if you would consider this, Thanks!

The original japanese text from Kitasato Research Institute
The following is my personal summary and translation of the original text from Kitasato Univ with the help of machine translation
----------------------
A call center has been set up to recruit patients who are willing to cooperate in the clinical trial about Ivermectin Clinical Trials.
Kitasato University Hospital(KUH) has set up a call center on June 17, 2021 to promote the clinical trial of ivermectin for new coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
With the aim of recruiting subjects in Tokyo, KUH plan to start with Minato and Suginami wards, which are in the vicinity of the medical institutions where the clinical trials will be conducted, and expand the system to the rest of Tokyo as needed.
This clinical trial started in September 2020 with the aim of adding an indication for ivermectin for the treatment of new coronavirus infections, and is being conducted with the support of many people.
However, the number of registered cases has just exceeded half of the planned number as of June 2021, due to the impact of tight medical care caused by the nationwide spread of the new coronavirus infection.
In light of this situation, in order to complete this clinical trial as soon as possible, with the cooperation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association, we have started to operate a system for recruiting patients through a call center in Tokyo.
We will continue our efforts to achieve the target number of patients so that we can complete this clinical trial as soon as possible.

Excuse me for the greeting from the Internet. I couldn't help but sharing this article from the BBC, and translated it into Japanese.
Bitcoin's vast energy use could burst its bubble
This is the article of Justin Rowlatt, You can find him on Twitter here
This is my Japanese translation
Cryptocurrencies, blockchains, and the way they work are nothing new, as we have seen in the KECHIMYAKU(bloodlines).
I imagine Facebook, Amazon, Youtube, Clubhouse, Google...etc and many other giant services always have had similar problems.
I imagine Facebook, Amazon, Youtube, Clubhouse, Google...etc and many other giant services always have had similar problems.
I'd like to emphasize that I'm not trying to deny or affirm Bitcoin or similar systems.
Hopefully, this will be an opportunity to create a more peaceful FUSE economy system.
Yesterday, I had an opportunity to have a scientist analyze my writing. According to her, the results of the analysis showed an assertive/angry red color : ) !
For the past 15 years or so, I have lived my life trying to keep distance and avoid dealing with reserve currencies as much as possible.
Try not to use them as much and when necessary, Try to use the least amount with gratitude, and then try to return them to the nature.
I did it not only for money such as yen, dollars, euros, etc... but also for miles, points, (information exchanged on the Internet such as the number of)followers, page views or downloads on social networking sites, etc..., as well as the specifications of computers and smartphones. They have the same characteristics, Opposite of "Knowing contentment".
Trying to put into words the reason for this is difficult.
The world of faster, get more, more convenient, more... that can be encountered by dealing with them is certainly exciting in some aspects, might be an exciting place to be, but I often lose sight of life itself in the present when I handle it.
I can only hope that not only cryptocurrencies, but also those who are deeply involved in the Internet, which is becoming more and more popular, will be able to live comfortably. If a "Digital Agency" were to be established, I hope that it would aim to minimize the use of digital technology, fulfill its purpose, and then return it to nature(Japan's new government plans to form a digital agency).
Again, it is difficult to describe a problem with ABCs, but the solutions and practices seem to be quite simple. To FUSE is probably one of them. FUSE does not mean "money to give to a monk at a funeral," as it is commonly understood in Japan today, but as a means to an end, as described in the "cattāri saṅgaha-vatthūni".
It is simple but requires time.
I have made it a priority to practice it myself first, and to maintain an appropriate distance from the current reserve currency and its system.
However, especially in the past year, the situation in the world has changed drastically, and at the same time, the situation around me has also changed, and I feel that I am gradually becoming more prepared.
One of the reasons for this is I myself am getting closer and closer to a childlike state, or something like that, and seem to be changing into a good body that can express its essence to some extent without stepping out of line.
Last week, I told an elementary school boy, "It's okay to have anger, because it's an important and powerful energy that can create change. Let's learn to use it well!"
I'm embarrassed to say that I just gave a big lecture to him, I need to start by controlling my own anger, not others...,!
I will try my best to make this article an opportunity for me to do a little better. Wishing you all the best...!
Thankfully, The house has NO heating. It is well ventilated and has cold fall nights.
Revolutionize the living with fallen leaves and branches. Could be a heating, water heater, sauna, or power generation. The ashes can be used as batter for poo croquettes along with humus. Be independent of centralized energy system. Even on a chilly day, you'll be warm enough to sweat. The many inconveniences are a beacon to a joyful regression.

Hydroponics in the city apartment is up to Edamame. To Soybean(for Miso, Tofu, Shoyu, etc...) is extremely difficult. WHY? Long autumn night can't help but wonder about the existence of "Konryu-Kin(Rhizobacteria)", which I couldn't even imagine the English name of it.
