IMAGE: What is the nation's treasure? The will to (achieve) enlightenment is the treasure, and one who possesses it is the nation's treasure. Therefore there is an old saying that a string of (large) jewels is not the nation's treasure; the nation's treasure is one who lights up a (small) corner of the world [one who brightens the world at his corner / one who shines light into a dark corner].

国の宝とは何物ぞ。宝とは道心なり、道心ある人を名づけて国宝と為す。故に古人の曰く、径寸十枚、是れ国宝に非ず。一隅を照らす、此れ則ち国宝なりと。 – 伝教大師[最澄] (767 – 822): 『山家学生式(さんげがくしょうしき)』 / (「径寸十枚」:(直径一寸の玉[宝石]十個→)金銀財宝のこと) (PexelsによるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »

IMAGE: I should like to help everyone if possible. Jew, Gentile, Black Man, White, we all want to help one another, human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. And this world has room for everyone, and the good Earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

できれば皆さんを助けたい。ユダヤ人であってもなくても、肌の色が黒くても白くても、私たちは皆互いに助け合いたいと願う、人間とはそういうものです。私たちは互いの幸せによって生きたい、互いの悲惨さによってではありません。私たちは互いを憎み軽蔑したいわけではないのです。そしてこの世界には皆さん一人ひとりの生きる場所がちゃんとあって、善き地球は豊かに、皆さん全員に供給できるのです。 – チャーリー・チャップリン[サー・チャールズ・スペンサー・チャップリン] (1889 – 1977) / (『(チャップリンの)独裁者』での最後のスピーチから。) (579020によるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »

私たちは考えることが多すぎて、感じることが少なすぎます。私たちに必要なのは、機械(の便利さ)よりも人間らしさです。賢さよりも、優しさや穏やかさなのです。これらの資質がなければ、人生は暴力的なものになり、全てが失われるでしょう。 – チャーリー・チャップリン[サー・チャールズ・スペンサー・チャップリン] (1889 – 1977) / (『(チャップリンの)独裁者』での最後のスピーチから。) (Jordan HolidayによるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »
