1. How is your daily life affected by Buddhism? What do you do and why do you do it?

A. I'm not aware of Buddhism very much in my daily life. However, I visit a temple for worship at every New Year days. It's not religion but custom for me.

★ summary★
Benijing Olympics' torch relay held in Nagano city on April 26th. 80 people participated in it. Along the way,I someone throwed something to runner, or there are some savotages. So 5 people were arrested because of the reasons. Between Chinese people and the people who complain to Tibetan problem had an argument along the course, and 4 people injured. Total of 100 people (police offcer and others) gurded the runner. After all, final runner arrived 15 minutes late to the goal. The relay was supposed to show the torch to the citizen, but it was canceld to avoid these problems.

　★ impression★
　I'm a little disappointed at this news. It's a natural that each person has different opinion. However, Olympics is not for argue but the good opportunity for athlete from over the world to compete. Anyway managed to end it, so it was okay.
