Jikoen Newsletter - July-August, 20182

This word “Nankurunaisa” originally came from the Okinawan language. It started as “Nankuru nai sa.” It evoked everything good about life and it was used a lot. The simple act of saying it brought inner peace and trust in what was to come. As in Namu Amida Butsu. 

As a result, little by little, it became a mantra. It’s an expression that helps you connect with a positive,

For me,  Namu Amida Butsu, like the Okinawan word, Nankurunaisa is the  key to living. Like Namu Amida Butsu, Nankurunaisa works like a powerful mantra. Its original meaning was, “never forget who you are and live for today and for tomorrow; never forget to smile and no matter how bad your day has been, remember that the next day you will smile again.”  

Today it summarizes and adapts to express a desire and powerful affirmation — everything will work out in the end, everything will be fine.

encouraging inner energy, which involves deep emotional connection and inner balance. It focuses our thoughts on one thing, which triggers constructive emotions.  

More so in the case of a word like Nankurunaisa, which like Namu Amida Butsu has become a mantra of hope. A way of saying “everying is going to be all right” and which many consider to be the key to everything, just like Namu Amida Butsu.

I heard these  and more  growing up. Trusting in what is to come has immense power to help us keep going, especially important in hard times when we feel there’s no hope, no way out. Trust is what helps us to persist. If we didn’t believe that everything would be all right in the end, we would surely give up. Whereas, when we trust, we can gather the strength to overcome insurmountable difficulties.

Nankurunaisa invites us to accept the wisdom of time. To understand that if we perservere, that time itself will eventually work  things out. We just have to let things flow and trust what we do.

Any word can be a mantra. It doesn’t have to come from a philosophy or religion. It is us who give the words power, especially when we repeat emotionally significant words like Namu Amida Butsu. That’s why there are expressions that can do the opposite of words like, Nankurunaisa.

Anything we repeat often becomes a personal mantra. So if you say, “it’s so boring,” then you are going to feel that way. The same if you constantly say, “I can’t,” “I don’t want to,” or “I don’t like to.” It will condition your behavior.

Your thoughts and emotions connect to the words you use to describe your state of mind. Hence it is very important to learn to use language responsibly and constructively.

Words determine our thoughts and our thoughts condition our whole life.

After thousands of years, “Namu Amida Butsu” is still so relevant, just like  “Nankurunaisa.” It is used all over the world as a word of hope and optimism. What is your mantra?

Mahalo Alison Colby

Mahalo to Alison (Miyasato) Colby, who for many years has been handling the BBQ Combo Plate booth, a major part of Jikoen’s Annual Bon Dance.

She has coordinated the entire planning, manning and execution of the booth with the Dharma School Ohana and we are deeply grateful for her years of dedication and support.  

Thank you is not enough for we know it has been a lot of hard work and sacrifice on her part.

She’s done a wonderful job keeping the food booth running smoothly. Most importantly, she is an vital part of our Jikoen Ohana and we hope she knows that.  We are truly grateful for her help not only for Bon Dance but throughout the years and we look forward to working together for many more. Ippei Nifee Deebiru!
