Our January 2022 Treeleaf JUKAI (Undertaking the Precepts) CELEBRATION! -MAIN PAGE-

...I have always be the logical, objective and stoic guy. At the same time, I am fragrance or incense, meaning I am formless and smell good. Fragrance could mean compassion, warmth and love. So, the middle way is between these two....

That is awesome!

... I just love the name. I got it tattooed on my arm.

...

Now that is dedication.

I do need to tell you a darkly funny but true story of a fellow around here a few years ago who did something like that, only checked with me about the Kanji after the fact (which the ink artist misread) ... hard to fix ... I forget what it actually said ...

... I decided just to leave it be.

Maybe you can mail me a photo when done.

Yes, I know you are a math teacher and like numbers! That is correct. You have the feeling behind the name just right.

Gassho, J (no ink here, but I once thought about it)

All I inked was a broken pine needle, I placed it on the back of my neck in case I ever find myself without a rakusu.

I love this.
I took a precept against stealing, so may I instead borrow your idea?

Hi Jundo,

Here it is. It was done in 1.5 hours last Friday before Jukai. The studio where it was done was called the the Buddha tattoo.

But those Kanji say, "Peanut Airplane"!

(just kidding)

I also showed it to Mina and a Japanese relative, and they gave it the thumbs up and a Gassho. Not kidding this time.

Thank you Jundo. You got me a bit scared with your previous story. It was totally based on the Calligraphy you sent which was found on the envelope. So, I thank you for that. We ended up talking about Buddha's life and the 4 noble truths while he tattooed me. Now, the artist wants to improvise a Buddha on me.

Gassho,
Sat today,
