I am watching TV too much. There isn't much good news on TV.

The world seems to have become a depressing place.
After watching too much TV, I suddenly remembered when I was in the Antarctica.

There was no phone or TV; thus no news.

I remember saying that it seems somewhat nice to be in such situation.
If we don’t know what’s happening in the world, we would worry about being left out.

Then again, if we find out what’s happening, we would want to know the most current information about it. Living in the society, we are framed in its structure.
I have a feeling. Especially lately, I just have an uneasy feeling that something was going to happen soon though I am unsure what is happening or where it’s happening.
Is it just my imagination? It could also be a good thing.
To change the subject, I just remembered one of the old tales of Buddhism that was told by my master. I like listening to old tales. The tale was about what Buddha was talking about.
He was talking about the sequence of different eras. I don’t remember very well but according to his story, after the era of religion, we will have the era of chemicals and then that of science. Umm, I couldn’t, I just couldn't remember. (Master! Please forgive your unfaithful disciple.)
Anyway, in the end, after finishing the science era, we are in the era of something....energy? It could be something else. hehe~
The size of human beings at that time should be about the size of a forearm of Buddha. (Humans in this era are told to be large.) The life span would be around 30 years. They also would have an ability to easily make weapons (metals) disappear.
Well, I told a story that was not a complete story but it is quite interesting.
When Amitabha has become a saint, he made 48 wishes. One of them was that people who call his name faithfully or those who seek for help from him would be for sure called to his sacred land to be in their novitiate when they die. That is why we often hear people chant, ? Nam-ami-ta-bha. Nam-ami-ta-bha.?
By the way, I don't know any of the other 47 wishes.
Ha-ha-ha. Nam-ami-ta-bha.
