The article explores the true meaning of “Namo” in “Namo Amitabha,” explaining that “Namo” is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word Namas meaning “homage.” It is pronounced “ㄋㄚˊ ㄇㄛˊ” (ná mó), and the article also notes that in Chinese Buddhism, “Namo” is often interpreted as “taking refuge.”

Facts:
- “Namo” is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word Namas and means “homage.”
- The Ministry of Education gives the Buddhist term “Namo” the pronunciation “ㄋㄚˊ ㄇㄛˊ,” with the Hanyu Pinyin spelling ná mó.
- The Ministry of Education's dictionary includes the term “Namo Buddha,” defined as “paying homage to the Buddha.”
- In Chinese Buddhism, “Namo” is often given the religious meaning of “taking refuge,” stemming from Shandao's Commentary on the Sutra of the Buddha of Immeasurable Life, which says, “The word Namo means taking refuge.”
- The Great Dictionary of Buddhist Studies explains “Namo Amitabha” as “taking refuge in the Enlightened One of Infinite Light and Infinite Life.”
- Amitabha Buddha's name carries the meanings “Infinite Light” (Amitābha) and “Infinite Life” (Amitāyus).
- The Amitabha Sutra, translated by Kumarajiva, explains the name “Amitabha” in terms of light and lifespan, respectively.
- The Ministry of Education's dictionary notes under the entry for “Namo” that it is often “mistakenly understood in China as taking refuge.”

The non-classified section of the Ministry of National Defense's 2027 budget includes an item titled “飛戢二號 weapon system equipment sustainment project.” Media outlets linked it to the Qingtian Type I supersonic cruise missile, saying this signals that the missile is in mass production and has been delivered to troops for service; the budget disclosure itself was also seen as a form of strategic intimidation.

Facts:
- The non-classified section of the Ministry of National Defense's 2027 budget includes the “飛戢二號 weapon system equipment sustainment project”
- 《自由時報》 interpreted the budget as announcing that the Qingtian Type I supersonic cruise missile had completed mass production and been delivered to the Special Missile Command for service
- The Qingtian Type I is rumored to use a ramjet engine, travel at about Mach 3 and have a range of 1,200 to 1,500 kilometers
- The Qingtian Type II is rumored to use a scramjet engine, have a range of more than 2,000 kilometers and be capable of reaching Beijing and Wuhan
- After the Yunfeng project was scaled back in 2014, only 10 launch systems were produced, each equipped with 15 to 20 missiles; the original target was 500 missiles
- Taiwan secretly launched a supersonic cruise missile project after the 1996 Taiwan Strait missile crisis
- Hao Pei-tsun's 1986 diary, “Eight Years as Chief of the General Staff,” records that the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology reported having the capability to develop ramjet engines
- Media analysis suggests that publicizing the “飛戢二號” item in the budget may be intended to strengthen deterrence

In light of the increasing frequency and severity of heavy rain in recent years, the Road Bureau of 国土交通省 has established guidelines to prevent flooding accidents at underpasses. Based on the principle of “stop traffic before flooding and keep vehicles out,” the guidelines adopt a multi-layered defense combining preventive advance traffic restrictions, prompt traffic restrictions during flooding, measures to prevent vehicles from entering, and ensuring drainage capacity, as well as a fail-safe approach. They set out specific measures for 4 risk levels (locations with particularly high flood risk / locations with high flood risk / locations with a certain level of flood risk / locations requiring risk alerts and monitoring, etc.). The measures respond to damage across the country, including during the August Reiwa 8 torrential rains in Chiba.

Facts:
- October 6, Reiwa 8
- During the August Reiwa 8 torrential rains in Chiba, flooding at underpasses caused human and property damage
- “Immediate Measures to Prevent Flooding Accidents at Underpasses,” dated August 27, Reiwa 8

- As a rule, restriction thresholds are to be set based on disaster weather information equivalent to Alert Level 4 and hourly rainfall
- Reports of flooding via the Road Emergency Dial (#9910), carrying an escape hammer, and other measures
