By the way,I made two T-shirts.(by Zazzle)

1,Setsuden (Save Energy)
2,Teaching of Buddha


1,Setsuden means 'saving energy'.

   節電 　　節(setsu) = saving  電(den) = electricity

We  japanese,wasted electricity until March 11.

The earthquake and the nuclear plant accident might be The Revelation from God.

It was The Revelation forced to much sacrifice.....

So I intended to save electricity as much as possible and made this T-shirt.

Teaching of Buddha

諸悪莫作 衆善奉行   (syo aku maku sa)  (syuu zen bu gyou)

This is teaching of Buddha.

衆善奉行 (syuu zen bu gyou) 衆=Many 善=good 奉=heartily 行=do→Do what is good.

These are the basis of the Buddhism. Is it too natural?but the most difficult.(^_^)
