On November 21st, I visited the Tower of the Sun.
What I felt when I stood facing the Tower of the Sun was that it represents the very spirit of the Japanese people.
On November 22nd, I visited Ohtaki (Ō Falls) in Mino park(Japanese). Even though it was a Friday, the Ohtaki was crowded with people coming to see the autumn leaves.
On November 24th, I went to the concert "Cimarron Japan Tour 2024”, organized by Min-On. It was held to celebrate the following milestones: 70th anniversary of the resumption of diplomatic relations between Japan and Colombia, 95th anniversary of Japanese-Colombian immigration, and the 205th anniversary of the founding of Greater Colombia by Simon Bolivar, the “Father of South American Liberation."
The slogan of Soka Gakkai in 2025 is “Year of soaring Higher Towards a Youthful Soka Gakkai Worldwide”.

Monday Sept 23rd, 2024 (6th Reiwa).
On August 31st, I attended the “G.O.B. Japan Tour 2024” (organized by Min-on). A group of seven members was made up of players of the traditional Italian ocarina (an ocarina septet, Gruppo Ocarinistico Budriese). Until I heard it with my own ears, I never imagined that the seven types of ocarinas could play such beautiful harmonies.
On September 7th, I participated in the "MIN-ON Kids Festa" (sponsored by Min-On) with my daughter and 4-year-old grandson. The percussion ensemble with the other participants reminded me that life and rhythm are closely related.
On September 15th, I attended “Duplessy & World Strings” (organized by Min-on). It was my first experience to experience a session with four kinds of string instruments (guitar, violin, erhu, and morin khuur). The performers themselves were having so much fun that it was clear to the audience.
The part before the paragraph described in August was: "This passage is saying that if in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are eternally endowed." (The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, p. 214). This makes me realise the need for more faith, but it's actually very difficult for me. I feel like I'm making progress, checking each step every day.
A pineapple has produced fruit. It has been about 5 years since I potted it up after hydroponics.
