From end of the year fanfic asks
15. something you learned this year
Supposedly the difference between Jodo/Jodo-shu Buddism and Jodo Shinshu Buddhism. But I had a hard time of making it stick in my head. 😂 All I did manage to make myself remember was that I made Gozaburo in Lure was a Jodo Buddhist, and I had it down to a specific school too and then I couldn’t keep it straight in my head anymore.
21. most memorable comment/review
@wahwahwashbear's comment on What we gain from pain where he dropped the actual scathing and 100% accurate comment that characterizes the situation as Kaiba's "elaborate pet play." The descriptor really dragged my ass and haunts me to this day every damn day. I'm obsessed as the kids say.
25. a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read
ficus sycomorus by winklepickers
It's a super cute and sweet story centered around Kisara and Shizuka becoming friends and then falling for each other. It's a true gem of a rarepair fic.

International Session
Recently a fellow member of the traditional Shakuhachi Society asked me if I could organize an event at Komyo-ji temple. He had a couple of Shakuhachi student s visiting Japan from overseas. England and Germany exactly. He felt it would be good for their growth to play in front of people. Since I am often organizing events at Komyo-ji he felt I would be the go to person.
I spoke with Osho-San…
