Kneel on a Cushion

Feb 11, 2015 23:11
Today, we held the sixth anniversary of my grandfather's death (and sixteenth anniversary of my grandmother's death).

Many relatives came to my home, and we chanted a Buddhist sutra.

While we are chanting a Buddhist chant, we usually kneel on our knees on a cushion.

However, I have a little bit of trouble with this posture, and as expected, my legs go to sleep.

I couldn't stand up for a while, but anyway, this event passed in peace.

Meanwhile, actually my mother is a Christian while my father is a Buddhist.

So sometimes I have no idea who I am.

Family always has influence, but ultimately we are what we choose to be. That's what I think, anyway.
