5th Bond Cont: ５つ目の出会いの続き

The pinwheel encountered 13 people during this visit and it asked them "What is the valuable principle in Shorinji Kempo?"

”Half for one's own happiness, and half for the happiness of others”

They explained that we should persuade your happiness first then others' happiness next because if we can't ourselves happy, we can't  make other people happy. It is also important to constantly make our best efforts to bring happiness to people around us which makes it far different from egoism.

We need to think about ourselves first. 

What is your happiness? 

What do you value the most in your life?

Are you making efforts to reach/possess your valuable things?

By recognizing these things, we can establish ourselves which gives us ability to make our neighbors happy.

風車は少林寺拳法のを習う１３人の人と出会いました。

 そして「少林寺拳法で大切な教えはなんですか」と聞きました。

その答えは 「 半ばは自己の幸せを、半ばは他人の幸せを」

まずは自分の幸せを、そして次に他人の幸せを求める。言い換えれば、自分を幸せに出来ない人が他人を幸せに出来るはずがない。そして、その努力の過程で、常に出来る範囲の他人の幸せを常に考えることも大切。自分自身が良ければそれで良いというエゴではいけないという意味らしいです。 

あなたは自分を幸せに出来ていますか？

自分にとって何が幸せか、何が大切かもう一度見つめなおしてみましょう。
