拈華微笑 I may not fully grasp the truth that Mahākāśyapa realized, but I still wish to emulate his smile. This is a story from the time when Shakyamuni Buddha delivered a sermon on Vulture Peak. It is said that Shakyamuni, without saying a word, picked up a lotus flower and gently showed it to the assembly. While the disciples could not grasp his meaning, only Mahākāśyapa understood Shakyamuni's intention and smiled gently. Mahākāśyapa adhered to strict precepts regarding clothing, food, and shelter, leading a simple life. Specifically, he wore coarse robes, ate only food received through begging, and practiced asceticism, wandering without a fixed abode. Though I cannot live like Mahākāśyapa, I have decided to grow vegetables instead, in place of his gentle smile and simple way of life.
絹さやえんどうの花が咲きました
たくさん咲いている様子は見かけても、ひとつひとつをじっくり見る機会って意外と少ないかもしれません。
この白い花、なんだか「白くて優雅なつば広帽子」を思わせませんか？
明日はあしたの風が吹く、
明日はあすの雨が降る、、、
そんなことを、ぼんやり考えてしまいます
絹さやえんどう、大好きです
香りがよくて、お味噌汁に入れると最高〜
そんな絹さやを最近育て始めたんですが……
し、知らなかった
連作NGだったなんて
2年目のうちの絹さや、ボロボロになっちゃいました
ナスやトマトが連作ダメなのは有名だけど、
絹さやもそれくらいデリケートなんですね
