A walk.
Toji, just for the sky
Toji...Jizo well looked after...
Golden screen, window, street: three realities in one. Trikaya!

Toji, just for the sky Toji...Jizo well looked after...About Me
- Name: Taigu
- Location: Nishinomiya, Kansaï, Japan
Taïgu or Kuma San. French oddity, poet, writer, musician, artist and in love with life itself. Interested in unimportant things, people of no rank. Started zazen in my teens, received the precepts as a Zen priest twenty five years ago. Received Dharma transmission in 2003. I believe that Alexander Technique provides a real and living understanding of zazen. It allows zazen to be alive , fluid and dynamic as opposed to what I met almost everywhere: a fixed and rigid form that feeds intolerance, arrogance and ignorance. Lover of Jizo and Kannon. I was born in 1964 and because of my passion for life and art, I lived many lives in one. Jack of all trades, master of none. I now live in Japan. Surnom : Kuma ou Kuma San. Vaguement français, poète, musicien, artiste et amoureux de la vie même. Passionné par les choses ordinaires, les gens sans importance. Ai commencé Zazen dans mon adolescence, ai reçu les préceptes de moine voici plus de trente ans. Grand amoureux de Jizo et Kannon. Je suis né en 1964 et, de par ma passion pour la vie et l’art, j’ai vécu plusieurs vies en une seule. Touche à tout mais ne maîtrise rien. Ai recu la transmission du dharma en 2002.

No, not three realities. Never three realities. Three kinds of reflection. One reality.
The Buddha's teaching is like that -- sit in lotus with the body, sit in lotus with the mind, sit in lotus dropping off body and mind.
Sit with the body and sit with the mind are dialectically opposed instructions. They are totally opposed to each other, and yet not two realities.
Oh, and Happy Birthday!
Thank you, Mike.
