The Practice for tasting of heaven

The Practice for  tasting of heaven

 

 

Shopping without my mom

I want to tell me about something that I wrote a diary. This is the diary that I wrote in one day of the winter, 2015.

I am 47 aged old maid. To tell the truth, the word, "old maid" makes my self-esteem down. so I want to be called, "Gold Miss". Still I have no boy friends.

My joy is just the shopping with mom. Because Mom bought one thing that I wanted for me, when we went shopping. Because that reason, I was following with mom, as not looking displeased.

Truly, my dream is go shopping with my husband, my pretty baby, and then we trip around and around in the market and finally we eat Ice cream together.

But the dream seldom come true, that I have to satisfy with this shopping with mom.

However, one day I realized that my joy with mom cannot be forever and I was crying out. Because my mom was sick, when I had to go shopping by myself, I was sad that I thought that my mom would leave me someday and I had to get out of my emotion.

And I was regrettable that I did wrong with mom and argued with mom. This thinking burst into me, then I felt my heart so hurted.

 

We all have to leave from this world someday, but I believe in heaven, I have the dream of heaven. so I think that it is easy for me to accept the death. However, it is hard time for me to have the sick person among my family, especially who is my mom. I was so hurted from that.

 

Soon I think like this, I will do good to my loving people, when they are alive.

Then I want them to know the heaven, if still one of them do not know about heaven.

If we don't have the dream of heaven, we cannot endure such a big sadness from the death of my loving person.

Above all, the most important thing is that we cannot dream of heaven, if we don't have the real experience of heaven. That means we live in the world and in the heaven at the same time. we live in the world as putting the heaven forward us. that is to say, although I live in this world, but I pull the dream of heaven down in this world, I live as if I be in heaven. so we live to feel the taste of heaven.

So as to we experience the taste of heaven, we need practice. That is, we think we live in this world and we live in the heaven at the same time. How can we live such a living? we need practice. we give meaning to real happening to us in this world.

 

 

The way of tasting of heaven

I will tell my thinking the concrete way of tasting of haven. We think that the power and honor and money bring us into tasting the heaven.

But Steve Jobs, huge rich person, leave a last words before passing. This words are known to us thourgh SNS.

So I want to introduce several paragraphs of the words that impressed on me.

 

"Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me.

God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone's heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth.

The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me

What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love

That's the true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on".

 

Steve Jobs were not proud of his richness before passing. He said, if we continue to pursue this richness, that will make us twisted being. He said, the true richness is the memories precipitated by love, that is, made of love. This memories follow us always, and accompany us and give us the strength and the light. And finally, the things that we bring to heaven are just the memories made of love.

 

Yes, the thing that we bring to is the memory of love. So I want to say, the way of tasting of heaven is the piling up the memories of love.

 

Who are there by us? husband, wife, children, father, mother, peer, friends. These persons were bound to me by mysterious and special connection. But we do not thank for this coincidence, and do not love them truly. Because we are selfish instinctively. How to taste the heaven is loving them truly and making more memories of love.

 

I want to say my story that happened to me these days. Suddenly my father 82 aged bought computer and smartphone. My father who retired and spent time farming decided to learn how to computer. I don't know where he received impetus from. This happened in an instant. From that time, my father annoyed me. He tease me to teach how to manage computer. When I taught him, then he forgot everything for a minute later. teach and forget after one minute later. This happening continued. So I bursted with anger.

So father said to me as being sorry for that, "I am aged, although my brain will be like the one of elementary school child, I am better than your mom"

My father was proud that he is better than my mom. I laughed in my sleeve.

And I thought that I am proud of such a father inwardly. Then I said to myself, "I am happy that I make such a lovely memory with father. My father was so strict that I cannot be near to him. He is too far from me, but he is near to me like child"

Then I feel sad and my heart move. so I want to tell no more the next happening. My teaching computer to my father 82 aged comes to be the love memory with my father.

 

I think the heaven is not far from this world. It is among us. It is within us. So giving meaning to this world is important. and we try to practice in order to taste of heaven. Then the heaven will be come true in this real world.

The practice is to make the memory of love with others. For example, don't be late to call my loving, being with each other, saying that I love you, expressing love, being kind to them, having warm-heart with them and so on.

These small practice make our mind and heart and soul healthy, and finally we can pull heaven down into me. It makes us feel taste of haven.
