GÕ CỬA THIỀN_ 101 truyện thiền Anh Việt ***

Gõ cửa thiền 3. Thật thế sao? - Is That So? The Zen master Hakuin was praised by his neighbors as one living a pure life. A beautiful Japanese girl whose parents owned a food store lived near him. Suddenly, without any warning, her parents discovered she was with child.          This made her parents angry. She would not confess who the man was, but after much harassment at last named Hakuin. In great anger the parents went to the master. "Is that so?" was all he would say. After the child was born it was brought to Hakuin. By this time he had lost his reputation, which did not trouble him, but he took very good care of the child. He obtained milk from his neighbors and everything else the little one needed. A year later the girl-mother could stand it no longer. She told her parents the truth that the real father of the child was a young man who worked in the fishmarket. The mother and father of the girl at once went to Hakuin to ask his forgiveness, to apologize at length, and to get the child back again. Hakuin was willing. In yielding the child, all he said was, "Is that so?"

13/10 辛亥革命１００年 「民主化いまだ成らず」の中国（10月13日付・読売社説）

孫文らが主導し、清朝を打倒した辛亥革命から１００年を迎えた。

中国の胡錦濤国家主席は、革命１００周年記念大会で演説し、共産党を革命の「最も忠実な継承者」と位置づけた。国民党との内戦を制し新中国を建国した共産党の正統性を訴える狙いがあるのだろう。

その上で胡主席は「中華民族の偉大な復興を実現するため共に努力しよう」と、台湾に統一を呼びかけた。中台を一つに結ぶ「中華民族」を前面に掲げることで統一機運を盛り上げる思惑がある。

孫文は「三民（民族、民権、民生）主義」を掲げた。その一つである「民権主義」では、選挙権などの政治的権利を国民に保障し、議会制民主主義を定着させ、行政、立法、司法などの権力分立を確立することを目指していた。

なぜ、元慰安婦のための基金構想などを改めて持ち出したのか。首をかしげざるを得ない。

村山政権時代に発足した「女性のためのアジア平和国民基金」（アジア女性基金）などを参考にして、対応を検討したいとも、会談後の記者会見で述べている。

慰安婦問題は今回、韓国側から改めて提起されたものだった。
