Two nice old men

カテゴリー


There are two nice old men whom I love and respect very much.

After my master Oi-Saidan Roshi passed away, these two old men have become my next masters privately. Both of them are 83years old, and 10 years older than me.

One is Yukimaru Reibin Roshi, who is a Zen Master of Myoshinji Zendo in Kyoto and my Dharma brother.

The other is Kakisaka Mikinosuke Guuji, who is the chief priest of the Tenkawa Benzaiten Shrine.

I respect them especially for their basic life postures of devotion "Ken Shin" to the way.

For a long time, Yukimaru Roshi has practiced Zen Way like young Zen Monk "Unsui" in Zendo.

Kakisaka Guuji gets up at 3 o'clock to perform his ablutions "Misogi" to pray.

Their manner of hospitality "Omotenashi" is very natural and many people have deeply been touched by their "Omotenashi" spirits.

I feel their "Omotenashi" spirits came from their basic life posture of "Kenshin".

They must be able to accept all existence as Godhood or Buddhahood.
