25.01.2022 At first do not lead. In the beginning it is better that you follow each other. From following comes leading by following. This is a soft leading, a special kind of leading from behind.... From softness arises humility. From humility arises trust. From trust arises togetherness and one mind. One mind cannot follow or lead itself. Free from opposites, there is neither leading nor following. See more
24.01.2022 Im guessing we might do some tameshigiri at the dojo tonight :-)
21.01.2022 He was carrying the last of two brimming buckets up the mountain path. The blow came from behind and landed squarely across his right ear. The tremendous pain was looking into the sun. He blinked and found himself on the ground. The buckets were rolling happily back down the mountain and the Old Man was looking down at him with great satisfaction. There were three more attacks before supper. By then, the boy was so jumpy that he decided against eating. Ordered to come in, ho...wever, he obeyed. They ate in their usual silence then the Old Man said to him through the twilight, An animal will jump at every sound, a leaf in the wind, a falling cone. A disciplined man will move only when it is necessary. There was a ruminative pause, then the addendum: The moment before it is necessary Thereafter, he never turned his back of the Old Man again. He might be carrying a load of wood, reading a sutra or helpless in the bathing barrel, but part of his mind was always alert for that vicious stick of bamboo Yet in time he found it possible to duck instead of dive, to veer and not drop the wood, the water or the book. He was almost surprised to find it was possible to move with caution and still get all his chores done in good time. Then no longer did he merely pass through a door thinking of someone else. It became an act of dangerous importance. Nor did he round the corner unthinkingly, approach the top of a hill blithely, nor pass closely by a tree. Reverie was replaced by exquisite attention to what he was doing. Each act called for total concentration if he was to avoid pain, a fall of pride and the tattoo of a bruise. So to avoid hurt he learned to perceive everything that is now.

14.01.2022 The Ten Bulls is a series of short poems and accompanying drawings used in the Zen tradition to describe the stages of a practitioner's progress toward enlighte...nment, and his or her return to society to enact wisdom and compassion. 1. The Search for the Bull In the pasture of this world, I endlessly push aside the tall grasses in search of the bull. Following unnamed rivers, lost upon the interpenetrating paths of distant mountains, My strength failing and my vitality exhausted, I cannot find the bull. I only hear the locusts chirring through the forest at night. 2. Discovering the Footprints Along the riverbank under the trees, I discover footprints! Even under the fragrant grass I see his prints. Deep in remote mountains they are found. These traces no more can be hidden than one's nose, looking heavenward. 3. Perceiving the Bull I hear the song of the nightingale. The sun is warm, the wind is mild, willows are green along the shore, Here no bull can hide! What artist can draw that massive head, those majestic horns? 4. Catching the Bull I seize him with a terrific struggle. His great will and power are inexhaustible. He charges to the high plateau far above the cloud-mists, Or in an impenetrable ravine he stands. 5. Taming the Bull The whip and rope are necessary, Else he might stray off down some dusty road. Being well trained, he becomes naturally gentle. Then, unfettered, he obeys his master. 6. Riding the Bull Home Mounting the bull, slowly I return homeward. The voice of my flute intones through the evening. Measuring with hand-beats the pulsating harmony, I direct the endless rhythm. Whoever hears this melody will join me. 7. The Bull Transcended Astride the bull, I reach home. I am serene. The bull too can rest. The dawn has come. In blissful repose, Within my thatched dwelling I have abandoned the whip and rope. 8. Both Bull and Self Transcended Whip, rope, person, and bull -- all merge in No-Thing. This heaven is so vast no message can stain it. How may a snowflake exist in a raging fire? Here are the footprints of the patriarchs. 9. Reaching the Source Too many steps have been taken returning to the root and the source. Better to have been blind and deaf from the beginning! Dwelling in one's true abode, unconcerned with that without -- The river flows tranquilly on and the flowers are red. 10. In the World Barefooted and naked of breast, I mingle with the people of the world. My clothes are ragged and dust-laden, and I am ever blissful. I use no magic to extend my life; Now, before me, the dead trees become alive.

05.01.2022 THE DEFINITION OF KI We begin with the number One in counting all things. It is impossible that this One can ever be reduced to zero. Because just as something cannot be made from nothing, One cannot be made from zero. Ki is like the number One. Ki is formed from infinitely small particles, smaller than an atom. The universal Ki condensed becomes an individual, which further condensed becomes the one point in the lower abdomen, which in turn infinitely condensed never becomes zero, but becomes One with the Universe. Thus we understand the definition of Ki.
03.01.2022 Ahh, A nice lemon & ginger tea at the dojo after a couple of classes :-)
03.01.2022 A warrior is not just a person who has learned some moves, is able to kick at 90 miles per hour or who has won the world championships at kickboxing. A warrior must earn his title. The martial artist is a person who knows things that go far deeper than just self defence, he is someone who walks into a room full of people and an immediate calm falls upon that room, he is a person who can touch a persons head, or arm, or hand and cause an inner stillness and peace to fall upon...Continue reading
