寒い雨の中、バスを乗り継いで、京都のやや北の方へ
貴船神社へ行ってきました。
It was very cold day and raining when, we headed a little bit north of Kyoto,
for Kibune Shrine by changing buses and trains.
冷たい雨の水さえも、ここへ来ると清らかな出迎えのごあいさつのようでした。
貴船神社は、水の神様が祀ってあります。
Once you come here, even the cold rain seemed like a greeting of pure water.
"Water" is worshiped in Kibune shrine.
貴船（きぶね）の由来は、「気生嶺」「気生根」
大地のエネルギーの気が生じる根源。
日本の民間療法レイキ（霊気）の発祥地の鞍馬山ともつながっています。
Kibune comes from Ki-Energy/Prana, Bu-Arise, Ne- Root/Origin.
It is a root of energy of earth.
This location is connected to Kurama Yama where Reiki, healing practice has started.
古来、人々が水をいかに讃え崇めていたのかが分かります。
水の力、偉大です。
Water as God
1. Water moves itself and move others.
2. Water seeks direction and never stops.
3.Water is pure and can clean impurity and have capacity to merge with it.
4. Water faces obstacles, then the power increases by hundred times.
5. Water fills the ocean abundantly, arise and becomes mist and cloud, changes to snow,
alternates to fog and frozen to be crystal and mirror.
However it changes its appearance, its life is never lost.
今回の日本の旅は、水がテーマだったようで、
後で、故郷の福岡太宰府天満宮にお参りに行ったときは、水の日とやらで、
引いたおみくじにも天神様の有名な水にまつわる和歌が書いてありました。
〜海ならず たたへる 水の底までも
清き心は 月ぞ 照らさむ〜
清き心は 月ぞ 照らさむ〜
清いこころは、天が照覧してくださる、ということらしいので、
光を浴びれるように、精進します！
The theme of this trip in Japan seems like water to me.
Later, I visited Fukuoka Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine at my birth place,
and got a lucky charm as usual, this time which says a poem by Michizane Sugawara, related to water.
~ Moon shines the bottom of water in the ocean.
My pure heart is much deeper than the ocean, but finally it will be lighted by god.~
I shall work hard and purify myself, so that it will be lightened up!
