高三の娘との会話 78 ・・・解脱 Moksha
I would be very happy, if you would enjoy my journal and help me with my English.
娘の毛蟹が言った。
「昨日ね、クラスの子達と電車に乗った時の事なんだけど、A君がね、こんな風に目が半眼になっててね、ずーっとぼんやりしてたの。」
「仏像みたいに?」
「うん、そう。そうしたら男子たちがA君を見て、『おい!ついにAが解脱したぞ!』『お!ホントだ。解脱、解脱』って、みんなで笑いながら盛り上がってたの。ちょうど倫理の時間にさ、「解脱」をやったばかりだったのよ。そうしたらね、A君がね、こう、ゆっくり右手を挙げて宙を指したの。みんなで、なんだろうって見てたら、A君が言ったの。『あの子、かわいい・・・・・。』って。」
あはは。A君、解脱はまだ遠いみたいね。
(注)解脱(げだつ)
仏教における解脱とは、誤った執着心から起こる悩みや迷いなどの煩悩(ぼんのう)の束縛から解き放たれ自由の境地に到達すること。
One day Kegani learned about “moksha” in her ethic class at school. ”Moksha” in Buddhism means that getting your mind moving freely without suffering from adhering rigidly to your foul passion.
A few days after, Kegani took a train with her classmates . One boy of them had an absent expression with his eyes open incompletely during the ride.
Looking at him, some boys of them were so interested in his situation, and talked to each other with a sense of amusement, “Look! His unseeing eyes! He attained moksha!”. “Wow! At last He was released from worldly desires.” ” That’s right. Great!” They laughed.
After a while, the boy rose his right hand slowly and pointed his finger into air with keeping his abstracted gaze. Others watched him without a word, wondering what he would do. Then he opened his mouth and said in a slow way, “The girl there is so pretty.”
Oh, boy! “Moksha” is far from you, but it’s good, for you’re a young boy. Enjoy your blossom of youth with fire.
