Letter February "live now"
二十四節気の雨水を過ぎた頃。雪がいつしか雨に変わっていく季節です。
その年、最後に降った雪は「終雪（しゅうせつ）」、別名「雪の果て」。「これが雪の見納めかもしれない」、そう思って空から舞い落ちる雪を眺めれば、しみじみと心に感じるものがあります。
― 今月の大阿闍梨のひと言 ―
過去を憂えても、やり直すことはできません。
先はどうなるかわかりません。
遠い先のことばかり考えるのではなく、しっかりと地に足をつけ、人生の定めをまっとうして、やがてあの世に行ったときにはじめて人生の答えがでるのでしょう。
塩沼亮潤 「日々初心、今がすべて」
When the rain water of the 24 solar terms has passed. It's the season when snow turns to rain.
The last snow that fell that year was the "last snow", also known as the "end of the snow". When you look at the snow falling from the sky and think, "This might be the last time we'll see snow,'' there's a deep feeling in your heart.
[ Monthly Words ]
Even if you are sad about the past, you cannot start over.
We don't know what will happen next.
Instead of thinking too much about the distant future, you will find the answers to your life only when you keep your feet firmly on the ground, fulfill your life's destiny, and eventually go to the afterlife.
