Fast, Pray, Walk for a Nuclear Free World

RantWoman is presenting some information for her own and others' edification.

1. RantWoman wishes to acknowledge recently receiving an exhortation to check out a site called fukushima311.org.

http://www.fukushima311.org/index.php/en.html

RantWoman received this in connection with matters of WA Public Policy. RantWoman is unclear how directly the site relates to WA Public Policy.  For one thing, the site is in Japanese. Mr JAWS does inform RantWoman the site was last updated in July 2012. Mr JAWS also informs RantWoman AGAIN that Joomla is uneven as far as output that tells Mr. JAWS everything RantWoman thinks is needed. RantWoman does not speak or read Japanese and is in no position to comment further on content.


2. In the spirit of also interesting to pass on:

Shonin Senji and Gilberto have organized a 2 week long peace/ anti- nuke/ Rohachi event in southern California starting Nov 29- Dec 12.



Fast, Pray, and Walk for a Nuclear-Free World
Respect Mother Earth


11/30-12/12, 2012 San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, LA and Diablo Canyon

After Hiroshima, Chernobyl and Fukushima, our world is crying. We may see a tear on the Buddha's face and sense that Jesus and our ancestors also weep. We will fast (& walk) with hope and prayer for peace and nuclear free world.

We have a duty to pass on to the next generation a safe, clean, peaceful future and the possibility of happiness. But we face great challenges to survive on Mother Earth with the increased spread of radiation and the continuing possibility of nuclear war.

All life is born and sustained from the same source. We are one, irrespective of nationality, race, gender, or age. We can strive to live peacefully and to love one another. In this spirit, we are going to fast and pray at San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant during the first week of December. (Dec. 8th is the Buddha’s Enlightenment day.) Afterwards we also will walk and pray in LA and San Luis Obispo. This is an interfaith activity and open to everybody. It will offer the opportunity to learn more about the great wisdom of Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad and the spirits of our ancestors.

Kanaeda, Senji

RantWoman is informed that hopes are to carpool from the Seattle area. RantWoman is not opining about carbon footprint or some other issues. RantWoman is interested in this announcement mainly for the spiritual language and the names of the occasions referenced; those RantWoman might better understand if she knew even a tiny bit more about Buddhism.
