| - | <br> | + | <br> Japanese military personnel have been accused of slaughtering great numbers of civilians and prisoners of war over a period of several weeks, [https://Mtkakao.com/ 먹튀 검증] beginning with the fall of Nanking on December 13, 1937, in what is referred to as the "Nanking Massacre." The conventional wisdom concerning this topic is typified by a review of Iris Chang’s Rape of Nanking that appeared in the Washington Post. This was what I were taught by my teacher in the beginning. In this interesting haiku, the reader must decide: Is Issa "coveting" the sparkling jewels of the dewdrops? The other version begins with the phrase, "dewdrops scatter" (tsuyu chiru ya). Issa only seldom uses the phrase, "autumn dew" (aki no tsuyu). The children, in their innocence of death and loss, feel only delight to see the fires. The "helpful person" (sewayaki) is Amida Buddha, to whom Pure Land Buddhists direct their prayer, the nembutsu, which the founder of Jôdoshinhû, Shinran, likened to a "prayer boat." This world evaporates to nothingness; the only hope for the faithful Buddhist (in Issa's mind) was to jump onto Amida's boat, which would carry him or her across a restless sea of desire to the Western Paradise (a metaphor for enlightenment). In my translation, I express this idea with the phrase, "I bet." Children eat ice while Issa watches and offers encouragement. Issa's idea in this hard-to-translate haiku seems to be that for as long as dewdrops have been forming in this place, there have also been ascetics here (gyôja), practising shugendô. The seasonal reference of this haiku is to the short nights of summer. As a haiku poet who opens his mind and heart daily to the wonders of Nature, he's richer than most. The year is one of the most difficult years in Issaç´ life (1810). Yet most of his haiku, even in this period, indeed show contentment. Literally, [https://Mtkakao.com/contents/contact.php 먹튀카카오] the "Great Thing of the Next Life" (goshô daiji) is Amida Buddha's vow to enable all who trust in him to be reborn in the Pure Land. Issa quips that his ancestors (literally, his "Buddhas"), are wanderers like him. If they are accurate, then burials may have been completed on March 19, and the memorial service held on March 22. Still, it is difficult to believe that work was not halted for [https://Mtkakao.com/contents/major-detail.php?no=179 먹튀카카오] even one day during that time, since Nanking’s roads normally froze when the temperature dropped. I will notify you when that schedu<br>as bee<br>c<br>.px;"><br> The 48-year-old man, who cannot afford to have a wife, has to deal with no one but his own kneecaps when it's getting dark outside. Or, does he mean to imply that the dewdrops themselves "covet" and cling to their own brief lives, when Buddhist wisdom would tell them (and us) to surrender and let go? Issa sees in the old pine(s) a reflection of his own aging self. Since dewdrops were conventionally associated in Japan with the brevity of life, perhaps Issa's neighbor is contemplating his own death, praying for rebirth in Amida's Pure Land. Just as the believer must trust in the liberating power of Amida Buddha, the upland rice relies on morning dewdrops for life-giving moisture. Drinking sake (rice wine) is traditionally done while viewing blossoms or moon. I just now talked to my younger sister on the phone for the first time in a while.

On a deeper level, the example of the dewdrops--"alive" for such a brief time with no recourse but to trust and let go of self--can lead human hearts and minds to Budd<br> <br>g<br>m<br>.<br> Issa doesn't literally say that the pine is enjoying the sight, but this might be inferred from the fact that it is in the scene alongside human star-gazers. If rumors to that effect spread, they would explain the report sent by Rabe to Hitler, in which he told of complaints that Chinese were being burned alive.51 But there is no mention of the Japanese having burned anyone alive in the records of the time, or in the main text of Rabe.s diary. There were no civilians outside the Safety Zone, so he was mistaken to write "civilians." If he did see corpses, they were those of Chinese soldiers who had posed as civilians. Soldiers built sandbag barricades and barbed-wire entanglements at the other four gates. I like both poems equally: one emphasizes the haunting beauty of this world; the other emphasizes how briefly it will last. A year later (1811) Issa revises this haiku slightly, substituting sonata no for nanji no. Issa wrote this nostalgic haiku long after his mother's death. Issa extends this custom to include dewdrop-gazing. Does Issa view the vining plant "grappling" the fence like a wrestler?
