I am using a block calendar starting this year. When removing the past day from the calendar, I can say “thank you” from the bottom of my heart. I wish to spend a fruitful day from the bottom of my heart. I found out that there is such an effect in a block calendar.
I learned something good from Mr. Yuji Fujimura who teaches sexagenary-cycle study. For those who have their family grave in a distant place and cannot easily visit, the person should extract and remove the death day of the person who passed away from the block calendar, write the posthumous Buddhist name or the real name to the paper in India ink, and always keep it with the person. It is said that the effect of a visit to the grave will show.
Chako chan Sensei decided at once to remove the death days of her parents, write the posthumous Buddhist names on each of the paper, and to put in between a notebook when wearing clothes and in between the obi when wearing a kimono.
And I found out this time that they both passed away on days related to the number 8. Since they passed away in the same year in spring and autumn, I may say that they were very close to each other, and that they were “child filial piety”.
And so to say, using the block calendar is rather good.
There is an address of instructions every day, and it was written today,
“Health excels wealth”.
Correspondence had stopped for a while with a person, and I did not receive a new year`s greeting card,
so I though, “maybe something happened?”, and made a phone call to her. She had a cancer operation and she is fine now, after all.
I suddenly got worried about this person last night.
“I was not able to go to sleep.”
“I`m sorry, let`s go to a hot spring together.”
I was relieved by hearing her glossy voice.
When I started the “Okami-san summit” 16 years ago, she was one of the okami-san who gave me advices. And considering our friendship from before, she is the okami-san whom I want to associate with care.
She loves excitement, but seemingly, she had undergone an operation and left the hospital quietly on her own because she is a person who does not want to bother others about her personal matters.
“Hisako-san, you`re really energetic.”
“I`m impressed myself, hahaha!”
“It`s true that health excels wealth.”
Wait a minute, this is the address of instructions that I read on the block calendar this morning. But I also want wealth.
