Please take us back where we belong. They were granted their wish and were allowed to go back to their hometown. However, it is because we will die someday, that we can also truly and deeply feel that the sky is beautiful, the ocean is beautiful. The Buddha teaches us that we meet only once in our lifetime. Each meeting is the first meeting as well as the last meeting.
Every occasion is the first occasion and the last occasion.
I am here meeting with you today. We cannot say for sure that we will meet again next Sunday. Because of this, we can appreciate now, this moment. This moment is very precious for you and me. Every occasion is the last occasion.
