Such a sad event. 💔 Dolly and I shared a birthday, January 19th. A woman whose immense kindness was rooted in her strength of character and her compassion for others, with the courage to live by her principles.

And her immense skills as a musician!!! I mean… phew.

This little known album titled: The Grass is Blue has always been one of my favorites. Its creation story is so sweet: she sat in a cabin by herself - just her and her guitar, pen and paper, and came out a few weeks later with a masterpiece.

Let's all aspire to be more like Dolly ❤️

Went to a beautiful event at the Portland Japanese Garden last night celebrating the O-ban Ceremony. A very sweet and thoughtful gathering with perfect weather.

About the roots of this 1,000 years old ceremony:

*O-Bon is an opportunity for people and communities to gather to honor our beloved ones who have passed and express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to them.

The O-Bon was officially introduced in Japan in 606 C.E. during the reign of the 33rd Japanese Emperor, Empress Suiko, but it originated in Central Asia.

O-Bon is the transliteration of the title of the Mahayana sutra, the Ullambana-Sutra. This sutra was very popular among Mahayana Buddhist texts.

According to linguistic scholar Dr.
Yutaka Iwamoto, the word Ullambana was derived from the ancient Iranian word Urvan, which means soul.

Through the transmigration this Buddhist text, we can observe the existence of international communication and diversity in the history of mankind.

Sogdiana (Sogdia) was an ancient Iranian state in the Old Persian Empire, spanning present-day Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. Sogdiana was an important international trading hub between the East and West.

Sogdiana’s capital city, Samarkand, was known as one of the major historical oasis cities on the Silk Road in Central Asia. It is through this vast network that the Sogdian people brought the tradition and custom of O-Bon to China in the fifth century before it would be transmitted to Japan.

The origin of O-Bon’s concept of Oneness has great influence on mankind and the history of peace in the world.

Even though the tradition of O-Bon is closely related to Buddhism, its spirit is universal and widely appreciated by people, regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds.*
