The calm tone of the author in the book reminds me of the bonzes at Phat Quang Pagoda, perhaps the bonzes of every pagoda that I have ever visited in my entire life. They always seem like a mountain that will never totter in front of temptation. I was admired them for that characteristic, however, I was not willing to give up my original life to start a new one.

Nevertheless, their family cried a lot because it was like they were losing their father, their son, or their brother. From the point where they had no hair on their head, they made a commitment to the Buddha that their life is the pursuit of the realm of

“Hojoki” is the collections of essays written by Chomei in the Kamakura period. This literature is for Buddhist concept of impermanence. “The Tales of Heike” is the story of the Genji war, the fight between Taira and Minamoto clans for control of Japan.

In the Hojoki, it provides the change of the capital and the emperors through the nature disasters and personal life. The dates of conflagration, typhoon, famine, and earthquake in Japan are pretty specific in the essay.

As the story continues, the reader discovers that this executioner is the best one in town, and that his executions are seen as a true art, not very many people can take off a head with one swing of the

During the month of October and the first week of November 2017, I volunteered for the Nancy Rossi for mayor campaign. While working immensely to help Rossi become the first female mayor of West Haven, I completed a total of 36 hours. At the campaign headquarters, I made calls to citizens of the West Haven, trying to secure their votes for Rossi.
