Arigatai: Rare and Wondrous by Rev. Marvin Harada

Arigatai literally means “hard to exist,” or “hard to be,” as in “rare” or “wondrous.” Buddhism is pointing to the rare and wondrous in our lives that we do not see, or take for granted. To encounter Buddhism is just as arigatai as being born into this world.
