say a prayer for our Japanese friends

Following the Japan tragedy left me teary-eyed and deep thoughts about the impermanence of life. 

From the TV news, I can see the resilient spirit of the Japanese people, which really inspire me.  This is hardly possible in other countries.

I pray for their quick recovery of the nuclear plants.
