How do I write articles? I Write about what I am truly passionate about or skilled in. This increases my chances of staying consistent and committed over time in my post.
I study my topic thoroughly. Understand its benefits, the common challenges people face, and the typical results associated with it. Identify the problems, offer solutions, and explain the steps to implement those solutions. I use this simple approach when I creating my posts.
To craft a compelling post, I focus on three essential elements: a hook, the meat, and a call to action (CTA).
The hook grabs the reader’s attention and pulls them in.
The meat is where I dive deeper, explaining key points in an engaging and clear manner, usually with points and breakdowns.
The CTA directs audience on what to do next, whether that’s taking action, learning more, or engaging with my content further.
I keep my posts / articles simple and focused. Avoid over-explaining but always ensure I am solving a problem.
বুদ্ধং শরণং গচ্ছামি; ধম্মং শরণং গচ্ছামি। আমি বুদ্ধের শরণ করি; আমি ধর্মের শরণ করি।
হিন্দু ধর্ম মতে Dharma হচ্ছে Karma. Karma হচ্ছে “your duty/ job” – the reason why you are exists/ present in this moment.
যে অশ্বত্থ গাছের নীচে তপস্যা করতে করতে গৌতম বুদ্ধ বুদ্ধত্ব লাভ করেছিলেন তার নাম বোধি বৃক্ষ। গৌতম বুদ্ধের মতে সর্বপ্রকার বন্ধন/মায়া (let go of every attachment; but not “let them detached”) থেকে মুক্তি পাওয়াই হচ্ছে নির্বাণ লাভ করা। আর বোধি লাভ করলেই নির্বাণ লাভ করা যায়।
এখানে বোধি মানে কিন্তু বুদ্ধি (Knowledge) নয়, আবার বুদ্ধির পরবর্তী স্তর প্রজ্ঞা বা Wisdom ও নয়। বোধি is something where you will understand, you are just another element or an event of this universe. And you don’t have any relation/ attachment with other events or elements but to cherish every single event and element on this very Event Horizon (the moment). There was no past element and there will be no event in the future.
So বোধি; Wisdom/ প্রজ্ঞা এর পরবর্তী স্তর। Where you will be able to control your mind to control the event/ moment.
The ultimate goal / purpose of this control is to be happy and make every element happy at this very moment around you.
“Buddhism” is not a Religion; so anybody can be a Buddha.
And don’t forget to laugh when you see a laughing Buddha.
সব্বে সত্তা সুখিতা ভবন্তু। জগতের সকল প্রাণী সুখী হোক।।
“আনন্দম” (পরম সুখ বা অনন্ত সুখ যা সবকিছুর আদি উৎস)
Masafumi Nagasaki’s story is one of quiet resolve and the pursuit of simplicity in a world that often feels overwhelmingly complex.
Born in Japan, Masafumi Nagasaki spent much of his early life adhering to the traditional values of hard work and societal contribution. He had a typical career and family life, filled with the usual ups and downs. But as he grew older, the trappings of modern society—its relentless pace, constant demands, and materialistic leanings—began to weigh heavily on him.
At the age of 76, feeling a deep yearning for solitude and a simpler existence, Nagasaki made a life-altering decision. He left behind the bustling city life and retreated to the uninhabited Sotobanari Island, a small speck of land in Japan’s Okinawa prefecture.
Armed with nothing more than the bare necessities, Nagasaki embraced a life of solitude. He chose to live without modern conveniences, electing instead to subsist on what the island provided. For him, this was not an act of isolation but one of profound connection—to nature, to himself, and to a life of meaningful simplicity.
On Sotobanari, Nagasaki’s daily life was dictated by the rhythms of nature. He woke with the sunrise, spent his days exploring the island, fishing for his meals, and contemplating the world around him. The island, with its untouched beauty, became his sanctuary. He found joy in the simple acts—walking along the beach, feeling the ocean breeze, watching the sunsets.
Over time, his presence on the island came to be known, and he became a symbol of living life on one’s own terms. Journalists and curious visitors sought him out, fascinated by his choice to abandon societal norms for such a Spartan existence. To them, Nagasaki spoke of the peace he found in simplicity, the clarity that solitude brought, and the deep sense of fulfillment that came from living harmoniously with nature.
Despite the challenges—harsh weather, lack of resources, and the inevitable loneliness—Nagasaki remained unwavering in his commitment to his new life. His resolve inspired many, serving as a poignant reminder that happiness and contentment are not found in material wealth or societal approval, but in the freedom to live authentically.
After living on Sotobanari for nearly three decades, Nagasaki was eventually compelled to leave due to health issues. Yet, his story remains a powerful testament to the beauty of a simple life. He showed the world that it’s possible to find profound joy and peace by stripping away the superfluous and embracing the essence of existence.
Masafumi Nagasaki’s life is a gentle, heart-touching reminder that sometimes, the path to true fulfillment lies not in acquiring more, but in needing less. His journey encourages us to seek simplicity, to find our own personal sanctuaries, and to live in harmony with the world around us.
