Hello everyone. How are you doing?
How are your family, friends and colleagues
around you all? Thank you very much for
your comments that are always sincerity.
I am encouraged very much and it is
helpful when writing the next post.
In addition to the good deeds you do
on a daily basis, if you practice
“Act of Mercy and Wisdom” of Act①
and② that I mentioned in the previous
paper, it will raise a torch in the dark
world and leads to lighting up the orbit
of happiness.
When considering this act of mercy,
that is “To send mercy to all living
existence,” there is a question
“Why does it have to be mercy?”
“Is it not possible with love, or other
words?”
Mercy is sympathy, compassion.
Why is it mercy？
In short, the reason is that there are
many “People suffering” and “Living
being suffering” in the world.
Even those who say “I am happy now”
also getting older someday, the body
weakened, anxiety to the disease will
occur, and death will come. In other
words, there are the suffering of aging,
disease and the fear and suffering towards
death. There are also “suffering to live”
for example life suffering, economic
hardship, suffering of human relations.

There are two meanings of mercy.
meaning to “remove suffering” and
“give comfort.” Because there are many
people suffering in the world, you will
remove the suffering first. It is because
you can not give comfort unless you
remove suffering. After that, you will
give comfort.
That ‘s why priority is given to “mercy.”
The Buddha-nature’s law, that is
“the Law of Origin of the whole
phenomenon world” goes beyond this
four suffering of “Life, Aging, Disease,
Death.”
I am very glad when I receive comments
of impression and sympathy from
everyone. I am glad that at least one of
your goals has been reached.
Everyone is “core person” and “sovereign.”
You are the owner of the democratic
society in America.
If you carry out “acts of mercy and wisdom,”
there will always be a great achievements,
pleasure and a sense of accomplishment.
That is also a great pleasure for me.
