今が生死

昨日義弟の告別式に参列してきた。彼は皮膚がん（パジェット病）で73才で亡くなっ
た。この世で出会った人といつかは分かれなければならない。彼は家族や親戚や多く
の友人知人に見送られて幸せそうに浄土に旅立って行った。最近私と同年代の人たち
が次から次に随分大勢亡くなった。私の明日も分からない。私はすごく忙しいので
色々なことを一杯後回しにしてきた。死は待ってくれないので、やり残したことはそ
のまま後に残ってしまう。どんなに忙しくても後回しにしないで今すべてのことをし
なくてはと思う。

I attended the funeral of my brother-in-law yesterday.
He died at 73 year old by skin cancer. We must separate some day from a
person who are known in this world. He leaved happily being seen off by
families, relatives and many friends or acquaintances. There are many
acquaintances who are same generation with me died recently. I might also
leave this world some day when the day is unknown. As I am very busy, I have
postponed many things. We are not permitted to prolong the death, there
remain my postponed things behind. I must do now every things even though
how much I am busy, I think.
