Talk at the Pecha Kucha Night + Inspire Japan Charity Event on April 16th, 2011

I did a casual presentation at the Pecha Kucha Night + Inspire Japan Charity Event on April 16th, 2011.

http://global-day.pecha-kucha.org/

I talked about the practical reasons behind Zen meditation and garden. But the talk had to be in 20 slides x 20 second format. That was challenge to me.

You can watch my talk at the event on the Ustream TV. My talk comes up around 35 minutes from the beginning. But other talks are very interesting and inspiring.

今回のような災害を人は経験をすると、「信じる」ということができなくなってしまいます。ここで、私が意味する「信じる」とは、決して宗教（神や仏）と信じるということではなく。人間個人としての自分の存在意義・価値観・世界観などのことです。人間とうのは自分が存在しているということ、何が正しく、何が悪く、何が真実で、何が嘘であるとうことを「信じる」ことにより、周りから入ってくる情報や刺激を選択し、処理して日々の生活を送っています。ところが、この度のような悲痛な経験をすると、人間を構成しているそれらの「信じているもの」が崩れ去ってしまいます。

現在、被災者の方々だけでなく、被災していない多くの方が上記した不安定な状態であり、新たなる自己の存在意義・価値観・世界観などをいち早く作り上げなければならないとう事態に直面していると思います。

この、自己の存在意義・価値観・世界観などと再構築をする手助けをするのが、私のような宗教家・カウンセラーなどの仕事ではないかと思います。

そこで、「日本を元気にする座禅会：メンタルケアと仏教的対処法」を開催していくことを決意いたしました。Non-permanency（諸行無常）・ karma（因果応報）・守破離を理解して、今にいきる「Living in the moment」を学び、それを日々の生活にいかしていくことにより、再び日本を元気にしていこうというのが趣旨であります。

Cherry Blossoms in the Downtown Kyoto on April 5th, 2011

The cheery blossoms are blooming in the downtown Kyoto. The pictures were taken around the intersection of Sanjo St. and Kiyamachi St on April 5th, 2011.

Cherry Blossom Condition at Shunkoin Temple and Kyoto

The cherry blossoms at Shunkoin Temple are blooming about 30%. But the temperature is about 17 degrees Celsius today. Thus, cherry blossoms are reaching the peak in a couple of days in Kiyomizu Temple, Kodaiji Temple, and along the Kamo river.

Cherry Blossom's Condition at Shunkoin Temple

The best time to enjoy cherry blossoms in Kyoto is this weekend. The blossoms just started blooming since it is been cold for this season.

Also, this is the quietest cheery blossom season in Kyoto due to inaccurate media coverages and travel alerts which increased unnecessary fears. But those who know Japan well are here to enjoy the blossoms without bothered by the crowd of people.

If you are worried about the radiation level here, it is 0.03 - 0.04 microsievert/hour, which is the same as the normal natural radiation level in Kyoto. That means there is no effect by the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant accient, which is 725 km away from here.

According to the Bloomberg, some other major cities in the world have much higher raditaion level than Kyoto's level and even Tokyo's one (0.08 - 0.09 microsievert/hour due to the accident).

You can check the other cities' natural radiation levels on
