four sufferings

Sorry for long time no update, but my daughter came back to school and I’m back here. ;o

I don’t know whether the words today are good or bad for my coming back, but these are so called ‘four sufferings’ in Buddhism.

‘Desease, aging and death’ are understandable, but ‘birth’ is also something we suffer from.

My son and his Trumpet

kionatic — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:12:57 +0000

I also have a son at the age of 12 and he plays trumpet.

He got a trumpet this spring and played “When The Saints Go Marchin’ In” “Happy Birthday” and “Theme from Lupin the 3rd” at his school event.

After that, the trumpet had been left alone, so I asked him to play something else. He said OK and the song I brought was this:

Nini Rosso’s Il Silenzio

That was the first song I recalled about trumpet

Trumpet is a hard instrument to play, you know, but he has practiced whole summer, and this is his play today! Will you listen?
