What is Life?

I started asking this question since I was 20 years old.  I was lucky I was able to travel many places in Japan, and later in European countries.  I had read hundreds of books of philosophy.....but this question continued even after I became a monk.   But now I'm very confident.   I've found an answer that its answer was not far away, but it was here and now, just in front of me.  

 

This morning,  I am very happy to find a small fruits out of the Papaya tree which I cut two months ago.   Even though it was cut or bent or discouraged,  its flower bloomed and now trying to produce more fruits.....I thought that's life. 

 

I always think I am lucky and happy.  Sometimes, I have to admit I am unlucky.  Since I'm a minister, however, I need to be happy and I think all the ministers have to happy, too.  Our mission is to share happiness with people.   Without being happy, how can I teach the way to happiness?    It is my sincerest hope through this happy blog, I'd like to share happiness with you, because I know the way to happiness in this life and in the life after this life.
