Join us at this annual event remembering those who perished in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. This family-oriented program will conclude with the Buddhist Toro Nagashi ceremony, a candle-lit lantern ceremony honoring and remembering the victims of war and other violence. This event is organized by a coalition of peace, religious, civil liberties and cultural heritage organizations. More information at www.hiroshimatohope.org.

這是獻給廣島原子彈的一個紀念活動,我聽說這個活動的時候,找了一下相關資料,整個心就被他漂亮的照片收買了,說甚麼也要去看,但是因為要伺候Katie大小姐好好吃完晚餐,雖然活動六點半就開始了,我們只想趕上9點的Lanterns,在9點之前還趕去PCC買Katie的有機青菜,沒想到在結帳的時候,櫃員問我,Are you going to the ceremony?It is so beautiful~我說Yes, of course....我的臉上是有寫我愛湊熱鬧嗎?

到的時候,因為時間比較晚了,所以只剩下大會提供寫好的lantern paper,就是世界和平等等字眼的paper,如果早點到的話,應該是可以自己寫想要的lantern,這時就非常想念自來水毛筆,因為現場還是有一些白紙,但是沒有筆,空有書法的自信也沒有用...

9點鐘,天色暗下來,舞台上有高僧念經,而台下大家開始傳火點起了蠟燭....

接下來,上千人慢慢的移到水邊,把燈教給在岸邊的工作人員,水燈便一盞盞的滑向湖心....令人屏息的感動...

我們一家人,一人送上一盞水燈,真心希望這個世界平平安安 祥和美麗...
