Kannon, I do not know whether or not you can hear me - Well, let me correct myself. I know that you hear me, but I don't know if you will acknowledge my prayer. But they call you "The One Who Hears the Prayers of the World," so I thought you might be my best chance. When I want to pray for success I usually go to the fox shrines, but the nature of this request is different... I know that I have not studied Buddhism as deeply as I've studied Shinto, but I have begun reading the teachings of Buddha and so, for the first time, here I am praying to you.
I've been having troubles with Enero. You are often depicted as a motherly Buddha, and right now I feel that a mother's touch is what I need. He is my danna! He is supposed to have a professional relationship with me, and to support my career. We are supposed to work together with my success as our goal. But I feel like all that he is doing is hindering me. He uses his power over my career to flirt with me, and it's becoming more than I can handle. I keep rejecting him gently, but the point isn't getting across, and I am afraid that if I act more stern then it will destroy our danna-geisha relationship.
I don't know what I am asking you for. I just hope you can look with your wise eyes upon the situation and steer it in a positive direction. Maybe you can make him see the error of his ways, and clear his mind of all these romantic ideas? Or maybe you can place another makoatl in his life for him to shower his affections upon. Or perhaps you can give me the courage and fortitude to stand up for myself more firmly, and for our relationship to not be destroyed? I'm open to any solution that you see fit. I just want this to stop before my career falls apart. Nothing looks worse than a geisha in a committed relationship. All of my appointments would stop. My career is my life. I don't need nor want distractions.
Thank you, great Buddha Kannon. I am leaving a willow branch at the foot of your glorious statue, as a small offering of my appreciation.
