Hachiko -1-

Hachiko

“Never mind, said Hachiko each day. Here I wait, for my friend who’s late. I will stay, just to walk beside you for one more day.”

 

Above is the actual picture of the real Hachiko in Japan. Hachiko has been an inspiration to thousands of people teaching them the meaning of unconditional love and loyalty. Such a touching living being this

is. It is so beautiful how he is remembered and honoured till today in Japan. Now a movie to further inspire millions around the world.  Hachiko, you made me cry and further affirm how love and loyalty is so important in our lives. Thank you Hachiko, may you always take wonderful rebirths again and again. Om Mani Peme Hung. I haven’t met you Hachiko, but you live in my heart… you live in the hearts of all people who want unconditional love.

 Image of Hachiko outside of the actual station he stood waiting for his masters daily and devotedly for 9 years!! Honoured with a wreath… eternal friendship and loyalty is still treasured.

Hachiko’s image is a testament that we all need love in our lives. So we need to give unconditional love also in order to be able to receive. We need to be firm in our decisions and loyal to those that have benefited us. Those qualities still have a place in this world. Loyalty, integrity, and love are qualities that make our lives so much better.
