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.

hahahaha.. wonderful pierre. i know this feeling. :)
Dear Pierre,
I stumbled on your/Jundo's internet Zazenkai by mistake after going to the site to sit some e-Zazen. I'm sorry, but I had to leave after the first period of zazen and before your talk.
I'm interested in your statement regarding zazen and Alexander Technique in your profile. Have you written about this anywhere (I only read English I'm afraid)? Is how you teach zazen informed by this?
Regards,
Harry.
Dear Harry,
Thanks for dropping a line. I don t teach zazen. i just sit. When I met Mike Cross, my sitting was a mess. It is still but a few things changed ( Although he would disagree, say I am a fraud, that he disowns me as a Dhrama heir blablabla...).
All I can say is that Alexander Technique is the most valuable treasure for those who want to sit.
Please, invistigate further and do have lessons.
Good luck
Pierre
Pierre,

Harry.
