Memories of "Vaiśakha celebration" in 2012

The moon is not out. But fireflies are flying. This is an AI drawing of Seijiro Okada, grandfather of Mari Hosono, the main character in "The Holy Spirit in Ultramarine". In "The Holy Spirit in Ultramarine," a story from May to December 2017, he appears only in autumn, so Therefore, this painting, which depicts the season when fireflies fly, represents a scene that does not appear in the story. I wanted him to stand in the beautiful scenery of Soni Village, Nara Prefecture, where the story takes place, but the scene of Soni Plateau in autumn, where the famous silver grasses of Soni Village grow in clusters, was used for another character, so it was a different place. I love rivers, so I had him stand by a riverside. Fireflies begin to fly with light from the middle of May. Looking again at this picture I made some time ago today, I thought maybe I should have put a full moon in the sky. The full moon in May gives the impression of the first half of the month. I have the impression that the full moon will be over before the fireflies come out. But, of course, there can be a full moon in the second half of the month, so I could have let AI draw both fireflies and full moon. But I like it, so I will not ask AI to generate images of Seijiro Okada again.

Today is the "Vaiśakha celebration". It celebrates the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha Shakyamuni, all of which occurred on the night of the first full moon of May (the second full moon of the Indian calendar). However, the "Vaiśakha celebration" was originally a gathering of saints and enlightened ones in the "Vaiśakha valley" of the Himalayas during the full moon of Taurus, so it is unusual to celebrate today, the full moon of Sagittarius, as the "Vaiśakha celebration". It is not known where the "Vaiśakha valley" in the Himalayas is located. Great intuitives used their inner intuitive powers to locate it, and on that day, they came from all over the world to the "Vaiśakha valley" in the Himalayas. Now it is celebrated at "Mt. Shasta" and other holy places and vortexes around the world. The Creator's blessings are poured out on humanity through Buddha Shakyamuni, the beings of the angelic realm, the Ascended Masters, and the spiritual heavenly dimensions.

May 7, 2012, the date noted in this post, was the day after the "Vaiśakha celebration". I was at the Hotel Mt. Fuji on Lake Yamanaka to participate in a "Peace of Mind Workshop" with Hiroshi Ohuchi and Janet. I had planned to enjoy the full moon of the "Vaiśakha celebration" with Hiroshi Ohuchi, Janet, and friends over Mt. Fuji, it was announced that Hiroshi Ohuchi, the organizer of the event, had lost his battle with illness, and Janet and he would not be able to attend. He passed away the following year on February 14, 2013, so the last time I had a conversation with him was when we met the year before, in December 2011. Besides, the weather that day was predicted to be heavy rain. Oh my Gosh! The year 2012 was the year that people who love spiritual topics were getting excited day by day for the so called "Ascension" event from December 12 to 21, but not being able to see the full moon of the "Vaiśakha celebration" at the foot of Mt. Fuji, we were disappointed... But as night fell, the rain had completely lifted, and a large full moon appeared.

Now, if you've read the link, you know that the next day, on May 7, 2012, I went to thank Ayako, my classmate from elementary and junior high school. I live in Yamashina Ward, Kyoto City. And she and her husband run a yakitori restaurant near Yamashina Station. To be precise, they run a chain of yakitori restaurants. The Peace of Mind workshop ended at 15:00 on May 7, 2012, and I decided to hurry back to Kyoto. At that time, a woman who was also taking the bus home told me that there was still plenty of time for the bus. It was a long way from the hotel to the bus stop. So, I decided to share a taxi with her and split the taxi fare. However, she completely misunderstood the arrival time of the bus. When we arrived at the bus stop, the bus had already left. We had to wait for the bus to arrive at the bus stop for the next hour. She apologized to me many times. At the end of April, I found out that Ayako, whom I had been looking for for many years, was working in an unexpectedly close location. I desperately felt the need to thank Ayako and put an end to my long memory of being bullied. She understood it so well that she repeatedly apologized for the wrong time on the bus. But it was just a matter of going back to the city where I live, so even if I didn't see Ayako that day, I could just go see her another day. So, she didn't have to apologize to me. I explained it, but she kept apologizing. During this exchange, I noticed that all the numbers of cars passing by the bus stop were "Master Number/Angel Number."

1212, 1111, 9999, 999, 8888, 888, 777, 555, 222....

I told her.

It's all about the master number. I'm sure good things are in store for this!

At that time, another woman who was going to take a bullet train in the same direction as me came by taxi with her children to the bus stop. She had tripped while leaving the hotel and badly hurt her leg. She had become unable to carry her baggage for a long distance. An hour later, with both my own luggage and hers, I boarded the bus and then the bullet train. If I had caught the bus in time, she would have been at a loss with her own baggage. We took the Shinkansen to Kyoto and took the local line. Yamashina is one stop away. She and her children get off at the station after Yamashina. It was arranged that her husband should come for her.

Well, after 23:00, I entered Ayako's yakitori restaurant. It's time to close in an hour. I took a seat at the counter. The kitchen is right in front of us. But there was no Ayako. I ordered yakitori for now and drank tea. I don't accept alcohol. Then Ayako rushed in. She rushed in very quickly. I was so surprised that my heart almost stopped beating. She's my first love, and to be honest, I've always lived in gratitude for her, so that reunion is not an emotional experience that can be explained in a few words. I asked the waiter to call Ayako.

Is her name Ayako? I want to talk to her because I am her classmate in elementary and junior high school. Let me talk to her.

And I thanked her.

Ayako wasn't scheduled to come to the Yamashina branch that day. Ayako explained to me that she had been working at Zeze in Shiga Prefecture, but for some reason she suddenly felt like she had to go to Yamashina. If I had taken the bus at that time, I would have arrived at Yamashina branch earlier, so I couldn't see Ayako. Then I might not have written the script for "The Holy Spirit in Ultramarine".
