先日、ある介護施設へ慰問に行きました。大事な檀家さまがお勤めの場所なので、喜んで参りました。利用者さんは地元の方々が多く、私の祖父母や父母のことをよく知る方々が多かったです。様々な ” 縁 ” によって、この場所に来たんだなぁ…と実感しました。
正直言いますと、京都での勤めと同時に 住職の役目を全面的に担うようになり、私のプライベートの時間は皆無です。ですから琵琶のお稽古は ほとんどできてません。現在は綱渡りの布教活動ですが、その分 私の人柄が音色や説教に出て良い と仰って下さる方も多くなりました。自己を高めることに懸命になっていた私にとって、不思議なほめ言葉です。それはその時期なんだなぁ … と 今を楽しんでします。
西郷隆盛師のお言葉です。
「人は克己心によって成功し、利己心によってしくじる。八分方（はちぶがた）うまくやってきたのに、後の二分でしくじる人が多いのはなぜか。うまくいくと利己心が大きくなる。そうなると用心を怠り、楽をしたがり、結果的にしくじるのだ」
人生は、人と人の繋がりによって成り立ちます。環境によって色々回り道はするでしょうが、克己心（自分の欲望をおさえる心・自制心）は忘れてはいけないと思います。人間は縁によって生かされているのですから … 。逆に 利己心（自分の利害だけをはかって、他人のことを考えない心）のみに生きる人は、一見、得しているように思えても、最後の肝心なところで 大きくつまづきます。大きな目標を持ちつつ、克己心を忘れないことが成功の秘訣です ［これは ある檀家さまから学びました］。恩やお陰を忘れ、利己心だけの 餓鬼にならぬよう、バランス良く人生を送りたいものです。人生の晩年に、利用者さんのような笑顔がでれば最高です。そんなことを感じさせられた慰問でした。合掌
利用者さんたちと「次の世代に伝えられることは何か？」を話し合いました。
皆様の幸せをお祈りして終了しました。
Gloomy tales tadapox canada A surge in the number of new jobs in the last 18 months has cut the US unemployment rate to 7.3%, its lowest for four years. But much of the fall is due to people leaving the job market altogether, mainly due to baby boomers retiring, younger people staying in college, and poorer workers claiming disability benefits. The US employment rate is 63.2% compared with 71.5% in the UK. In July a lacklustre 169,000 extra jobs were created, less than the 400,000 needed before the unemployment rate falls meaningfully.
