I like her best among AKB48. I wish she could find a place in acting! Her look is very innocent!

Correction! Sorry, in my previous comment, I miss a crucial word in line six that could confuse or change the meaning of the sentence. Please read as . . . . . . . who drink and wed and sleep with women the against the original rules of the Buddha, instead of . . . . who drink and wed and sleep with women the original rules of the Buddha.

Thank you for your understanding sir/madam.

I don't think it's necessary to adapt the people around Zen. Principle is not to bargain. What the need is patience and steadfastness on the part of the Zen Monks engaging there. There must be some decent French there who would pray before the Buddha. However, the numbers be small initially, that could grow in the passage of time. If Zen could be thrive in America, Europe is no exceptional. As I understand, the people who are initially not Buddhists could confuse the practice of Zen Monks who drink and wed and sleep with women the original rules of the Buddha. If Japanese Zen Monks such kind of crimes to their religion is known to the Southeast Asian Buddhists, they will never accept the establishment of Japanese Zen organisations in their countries. Those Zen Monks and other Monks from other sects should be disrobed and stay as devoted lay Buddhists if they could not comply the original Buddhist rules or Vinaya. I strongly encourage Japanese Monks and the citizens to purify their religion. Otherwise, what is the difference between the ordinary worldly citizens and the Monks?

I'm very happy to hear such treatment of the orphans of Tohoku earthquake and tsunami children. They deserve every support from all people. The damage I received for losing both parents within 9 days in 1951 still stay with me and I can imagine that with overwhelm supports, this can be lessen for the children.
