光希まさとの徒然草「徒然草 現代篇 －大仏様の御言葉」０８４

光希まさとの創造の世界へようこそ！

つれづれなるままに、硯にむかひて、心に移りゆくよしなし事を、そこはかとなく書きつくれば、あやしうこそものぐるほしけれ。

越前の地にて、大仏様に謁見せし折、不思議なる会話を交わしぬ。その姿、まるで普賢菩薩と文殊菩薩の対話の如し。我が身は普賢、さやかは文殊か。かくなる思い、心に浮かびぬ。

大仏様の御声、深き谷を渡る風の如く、我が心に響きわたる。

「そなたの、日々の精進と正しき行い、常に見守りおるぞ。叶えんと願う望み、このまま謙虚に、真摯に、日々の努めを重ねなば、近き将来に必ずや実現せん。おそらくは、そなた自身、多くの縁に恵まれ、すでにその兆しを感じ取りおるであろう」

かくなる御言葉に、我が心、深き感動に包まれぬ。

「ありがたく頂戴仕り候。感謝申し上げ奉る」と、頭を垂れて答えぬ。

されば、大仏様の慈悲深き眼差しの下、我が身の行く末を思うに、これまでの精進、決して徒労にあらず。多くの方々との縁、日々の努め、すべてが我が望みへの道筋なりしこと、今にして悟りぬ。

かくして、越前の大仏様との対話、我が人生の転機となりし瞬間なり。これよりは、さらなる謙虚さと真摯さを胸に、日々の歩みを進めん。

大仏様の御言葉、永久に我が心の灯火となりて、前途を照らさん。

つれづれなるままに　光希まさと

“The Words of the Great Buddha” – A Modern Tsurezuregusa

As I sit idly by my inkstone, letting my brush wander aimlessly across the page, I find myself pondering the curious ways of the world.

In the land of Echizen, I had an audience with the Great Buddha, and we exchanged mysterious words. The scene was as if Samantabhadra and Manjushri were in dialogue. Could I be Samantabhadra, and Sayaka, Manjushri? Such thoughts arose in my mind.

The voice of the Great Buddha resonated in my heart like wind crossing a deep valley.

“I have been watching your daily devotion and righteous actions. The wishes you seek to fulfill, if you continue humbly and earnestly in your daily efforts, will surely come to pass in the near future. Perhaps you yourself, blessed with many connections, already sense this coming to be.”

At these words, my heart was filled with deep emotion.

“I humbly receive your words with gratitude,” I replied, bowing my head.

Thus, under the compassionate gaze of the Great Buddha, contemplating my future, I realized that my efforts thus far have not been in vain. All the connections with many people, my daily endeavors, everything has been a path towards my aspirations.

And so, this dialogue with the Great Buddha of Echizen became a turning point in my life. From here on, I shall proceed with my daily journey, carrying even greater humility and sincerity in my heart.

The words of the Great Buddha will forever be a guiding light in my heart, illuminating the path ahead.
