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.

ナスが実をつけるようになったよ
ネットで「最初の実は早めに取った方がいい」と書いてあったので取ってみたけど、すぐに次の実ができた
これも取っちゃった方がいいのかな？
野菜の成長ってほんと楽しいね
実は今、私にも目標があるんだけど、正直、今の年齢ではそのハードルはちょっと高いかも…って思ってたの
でも、ナスをはじめ野菜たちは「今年を全力で生きる」って姿を毎日見せてくれてるんだ。
私も少し、その姿勢を見習わなきゃ
ゆっくりでも、一歩でも、私も前に進んでみようかな
