Don't Worry, Be Happy

Bobby McFerrin's great song, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" with my best photos of rainbow on Kauai.

 

Interestingly, the essential teaching of Buddhism can be found in this song...."Don't worry, Be Happy."
Yes, happiness is possible here at this very moment....if we can keep away "worry" in the future and "regret" in the past.

 

However at the same time, "Please Worry, Be safe" may be true if you seek for safety rather than "happiness."
Feeling of worry makes us to avoid danger and feeling of regret makes us to prepare better. These feelings lead us to be improved!

 

So my conclusion for now at this time of Pandemic, "Don't worry, be happy, prepare and be safe!"

And of course, "Namu Amida Butsu" to all of you.
