11.01.2022 Yes! Training is on tonight (and every Wednesday) at Brookman Hall at 6.30pm. Come along! Improve your body, mind and spirit, then enjoy some green tea! Here is... another zen tale to inspire you: I want to know about heaven and hell, said the samurai. Do they really exist? he asked Hakuin. Hakuin looked at the soldier and asked, Who are you? I am a samurai, announced the proud warrior. "Ha! exclaimed Hakuin. What makes you think you can understand such insightful things? You are merely a callous, brutish soldier! Go away and do not waste my time with your foolish questions, Hakuin said, waving his hand to drive away the samurai. The enraged samurai couldn’t take Hakuin’s insults. He drew his sword, readied for the kill, when Hakuin calmly retorted, This is hell. The samurai was taken aback. His face softened. Humbled by the wisdom of Hakuin, he put away his sword and bowed before the Zen Master. And this is heaven, Hakuin stated, just as calmly. Hakuin Ekaku ( , January 19, 1686 January 18, 1769) was one of the most influential figures in Japanese Zen Buddhism. His self portrait is below, done in 1767, Ryutakuji (Shizuoka Prefecture). In the 18th century Hakuin revived the Rinzai school. His influence was so immense that almost all contemporary Rinzai lineages are traced back to him. In Zen Buddhism, there is a custom called Chinsou, in which a teacher gives a portrait of himself to his disciples as a license, and although a professional painter usually draws it, Hakuin drew it himself.
