Let’s All Be Like a “Flower Blossom Old Man” in the Fairy Tale
“Next is the Flower of Relief from the Karma, which is another name for enlightenment, which is Keihatsu 啓発 in Japanese. But it is interesting that the Chinese character is the “untied up”. Well we are all tied up by karma. Sometimes even if we try not to get angry, we are tied up with the feelings, repeatedly and continuously with the same feeling – for example, anger. To be untied from this kind of pattern, of the tendency of the heart, that you are trapped in is another name of the enlightenment, Keihatsu. The name of this Buddha is the Flower of Keihatsu, Flower of the Buddha. Well maybe if you give the flower as a present to other people and you let other people’s “tied up from the karma tendency” you can untie the karma from those people who are tied up.
Well, may you be the one of the “Untie Flower Buddha” and start praising the people, start looking only at the good points of other people and basically why don’t you see them with a heart of praise? Next the words come out, naturally – the words of praise to let open up to the flower of other people – how nice. ”
