Two Cases which Occurred Recently
I saw disgusting news recently. One is the case in which oil was sprinkled on a Shinto shrine and one more is the case of a fallen drone. A doctor (52), who is a resident in the United States and the founder of a new religious group, is under suspicion of building destruction by police. He sprinkled liquid on structures such as Katori Shrine in Chiba at the end of March 2015. The police have been waiting for his return to Japan to arrest him and hear the circumstances. Replying to the questions of a newspaper reporter as a Christian clergyman, he said he purified those temples and shrines with sprinkled oil. As he had taken qualification of a Christian leader in Korea, he seems to have been propagating in Japan. I wonder why a Christian minister does such an act on a Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine. He calls them polluted, but I can not understand such a faith.
Another case is that in which a "drone" had fallen to the Prime Minister's office and also at Zenko-ji Temple of Nagano Prefecture. One criminal broke through the guard, and the drone invaded the Prime Minister's office. He flew the drone on the roof of the Prime Minister's office to insist upon anti-nuclear power generation. A jobless 40-year-old man appeared to the police and with correlating evidence of having contributed details of anti-nuclear power generation on his blog, he was arrested. He carried radioactive materials as a protest to nuclear power generation. In one more case, on May 9, a small drone dropped at the time of an event exhibiting the Buddhist ceremony of Gokaicho at Zenko-ji Temple, Nagano. There was a large number of people there but fortunately there were no injuries. The criminal, a 15-year-old-boy, delivered a live broadcast of this flight on the net. This boy revealed that even at the Sanja-Matsuri Festival of Asakusa,Tokyo, he had an idea of flying a drone. We wondered how a boy can buy an expensive machine but after he was arrested we found out there was someone who supported this boy financially. In September 2014,this supporter saw the boy’s animation on the net and after that time he seemed to have supported him. The boy said that his elder sister had broken his PC so the man said he felt sorry about it and he decided to support him with 250,000 yen. Also there are ten or more other supporters who gave him as much as 730,000 yen. The boy called those men ‘transcendental people’ who supported him by donating a large amount of money or buying his ‘goods’. He collected monetary supporters by such methods as showing short videos. What’s the matter with his father and mother?
I feel unpleasantness and fear and can’t understand the way
of thinking and the action for these disgusting cases.
