● 大事なものは目にはみえないんだ
(English translation: Sakai, Takahiko)
(English cosultation: Frances Ford)
There is a famous line in Antoine de
Saint-Exupery's "The Little
Prince"―"It is only with the heart that on ecan
see rightly: What is
essential is invisible to the eye." This might have been
written by
SAKAMURA Shimmin, KANEKO Misuzu, and AIDA
Mitsuo.
１．真民さんからのメッセージ：
根の働きは
見えないところで
私たちを養って下さっている
見えないものを見る目を持とう
The
root is God as well as Buddha
in the service of supporting all of
us
concealing Himself behind the curtain.
Let's have an insight into the
unseen
world.
一本の木を見つめていると
一本の木を見つめていると
神とか仏とかいうものが
よくわかってくる
見えないところで
その幹を
その葉を
その花を
その実を
作っていってくれる
根の働きは
見えないところで
私たちを養って下さっている
神とひとしく
仏と同じである
見えないものを見る目を持とう
見えないものを知る心を持とう

When You Stare at a Tree
When you
stare at a tree,
you will realize what God or Buddha is all about.
Under
the ground unseen to us,
the root has made
the trunk (grown)
[grow],
the leaves come out,
the blossoms come into bloom,
and the
fruit [is] borne.
The root is God as well as Buddha
in the service of
supporting all of us
concealing Himself behind the curtain.
Let's have an
insight into the unseen world,
and let's have mind to recognize
what we
cannot see with our eyes.

２．金子みすゞさんから の
メッセージ：
「見えぬものでもあるんだよ」
Now you understand there exists here and
there
what you cannot see at the
moment.
星とたんぽぽ
青いお空のそこふかく、
海の小石のそのように、
夜がくるまでしずんでる
昼のお星はめにみえぬ。
見えぬけれどもあるんだよ、
見えぬものでもあるんだよ。
ちってすがれたたんぽぽの、
かわらのすきに、だアまって、
春のくるまでかくれてる、
つよいその根はめにみえぬ。
見えぬけれどもあるんだよ
見えぬものでもあるんだよ。

Stars and
Dandelion
Deep in (a) [⇒the] blue sky, like small pebbles deep in the
sea,
the stars in the daytime stay,
(sinking) [⇒hiding] themselves till
the night comes.
You cannot see them in the daytime.
(Even if )
[⇒Although] you cannot see them, they are there.
Now you understand there
exists here and there
what you cannot see (right now) [⇒at the
moment].
Dandelions, withered away and scattered,
stay in the
cracks of a roof tile, silently,
concealing themselves till the spring
comes.
You cannot see their strong roots.
(Even if) [⇒Although] you
cannot see them, they are there.]
Now you understand there exists here
and there
what you cannot see (right now) [⇒at the
moment].
