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.

pierre - this is one of my favorites.
Thank you Oxeye, it is also one of mine. How are you these days?
Thank you for this, Pierre. I really like the phonic sounds of the word "crepuscule" and now understand the French origin of the word.
It is a word I am more familiar with in the North of Scotland, where the days can be much shorter, and refers to that moment when the daylight is over and nightfall has not yet come.
It seems to say "yes" and "no" at the same - not unlike "self" and "no self" or even existence itself -
"everything" and "no thing" simultaneously.
Thank you, once again.

pierre - i am fine thanks.. hope you are well also. i am stuck in the same dream as always. so maybe a litle less content than before because of the realization of it.
