Pema wrote the following note:
Moon was the guardian that night, which was great, since I could not be at the tea house in time, given that I was taking a bullet train from Kyoto to Tokyo, letting me get into my hotel a quarter of an hour after the starting time of 1:00 am SLT. Here is the log with commentary provided by Moon.
Arriving at 1 AM on the tea house, none where online so far, so i just sit down and made some tea. Soon hotaru showed up for a little talk.
This part is from Hotaru’s log because I nearly crashed and had to relogin:
Moon Fargis: hi hotaru
Hotaru Myoo Hi moon
Hotaru Myoo com se va?
Moon Fargis: uhm ?
Hotaru Myoo how are u?
Moon Fargis: ahhh thanks im fine, and how are you?
Hotaru Myoo well
Hotaru Myoo I fell asleep on my best friend…
Hotaru Myoo feel a bit sheepish about that
Hotaru Myoo woke up just short of saying goodnight
Moon Fargis: hehe i think your best friend wont be mad with you about that
Hotaru Myoo hope not hope to see him in a few hours
Hotaru Myoo how is the PaB thingy going for you
Moon Fargis: ohw why not hoping to see him when he is your best friend?
Hotaru Myoo ?
Hotaru Myoo good point
Moon Fargis: good… seems pema didnt made it today, are you a guardian too?
Hotaru Myoo yes
Hotaru Myoo teusday nights
Moon Fargis: ahh
Hotaru Myoo for now
Hotaru Myoo life will become chaotic pretty soon
Moon Fargis: okay please hold on a second sl acting up strange atm i need a relogin or i crash
Hotaru Myoo you are on European time yes?
Moon Fargis: yes brb
Hotaru Myoo k
Hotaru Myoo take your time
Hotaru Myoo I will hold down the fort
Hotaru Myoo hi Logan
Hotaru Myoo com se va?
from this Part my log continues:
Hotaru Myoo: Hi moon wb
Moon Fargis: re
Moon Fargis: ahh pema is online
Hotaru Myoo: si
Hotaru Myoo: i see
Moon Fargis: so you said your life will be chaotic in the near time?
Hotaru Myoo: traveling
Hotaru Myoo: hope to meet up with pema in kyoto
Moon Fargis: ahhh yes
Soon Pema also appeared.
Hotaru Myoo: hi pema
Pema Pera: Well, when I hear my name, I appear!
This sentence reminded me from a german speaking wich says “Wenn man vom teufel spricht…” wich is translated like “If you talk from the devil…” This speaking comes from the old belief that when you call the name of the devil he will appear.
Hotaru Myoo: com se va
Moon Fargis: huhu pema
Pema Pera: Hi Hotaru!
Pema Pera: Hi Moon, thanks for standing in here for me :-)
Moon Fargis: np:)
Hotaru Myoo: greetings and salutations
Hotaru Myoo: btw moon..
Hotaru Myoo: I notice your wheel
Hotaru Myoo: I know you have worn it for some time
Hotaru Myoo: during sittings…
Hotaru Myoo: I have noticed it
Moon Fargis: well its hard not to notice it i think :)
Hotaru Myoo: we talked about a wonky wheel
Moon Fargis: wonky wheel?
Moon Fargis: whats that ?
Hotaru Myoo: dukka
Moon Fargis: aha?
Hotaru Myoo: a friend had talked about a wheel in context
Hotaru Myoo: wobbling offcenter
Hotaru Myoo: stil attached
Hotaru Myoo: but wobbly
Hotaru Myoo: and in the context of reality
Hotaru Myoo: it became a metaphor for suffering
Moon Fargis: the wheel?
Hotaru Myoo: the movement of the wheel
Moon Fargis: ahh
Hotaru Myoo: ancient sanskrit described it as dukka
Hotaru Myoo: I am not so familiar…
Moon Fargis: ofcourse alsways depends on the kid of buddhism you are in.. some see this wheel as a sign of tifferent hells/heaven of rebirth
Hotaru Myoo: but I thought you might have a reflection on that thought
Moon Fargis: some just see it as a sign of buddhism, i see it as a metapher of the 8 fold path
Hotaru Myoo: you know Isen
Moon Fargis: each branch one path
Moon Fargis: ofcourse i know isen :)
Hotaru Myoo: yes
Moon Fargis: our babbling monk in itsari
Hotaru Myoo: it was his discovery
Moon Fargis: well well hehe
At this time i remindes that isen sells books and got alot of
time for thinking/reading about such things:)
Hotaru Myoo: a sort of epiphany
Hotaru Myoo: in the context of PaB
Hotaru Myoo: what are your thoughts?
Moon Fargis: well atleast its always a think about what people think from their social knowledge… do you know the hackekreutz from hitlers regime?
Hotaru Myoo: no
logan1717 Yoshikawa: tnx
Moon Fargis: hackenkreuz i mean.. the symbil from his regime
Moon Fargis: i dont know how you call it in english

Pema Pera: Logan, we get together here a few times every day, and anyone is welcome to join us
