Kumo atte bozan senshu no tai
posted by Taigu at 6:14 PM
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.

Hi Pierre,
Can you say who created these scrolls?
Regards,
Harry.
Hi Harry
The former head abbot of Obaku school.
But nither your question nor the above answer are relevant.
You, Harry, painted these scrolls
regards
Taigu
No, Pierre, I didn't.
Regards,
Harry.
then, Harry, you ae a wonderful artist... and you don t know and it is true you don t need to know...
Meanwhile, gassho ( in which direction do you do gassho?)
Taigu
it is incredible how clouded eyed Buddhas do not see the wonder for what it is, just a mere clouded beautiful dream of theirs...Harry, you are one of them, so much to unlearn....
Pierre,
As form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
The scrolls were certainly painted, but Harry did not perform that *action*.
Please do not feel that you have to worry about my learning, or lack of, on my behalf. I'm sure you have you're own practice to attend to.
Regards,
Harry.
Harry, when a snail like creature leaves traces on a stupid monk s blog wondering where these black dots come from, the stupid head has the gentleness to remind the Buddha hidden within you that it comes from the very eyes of the crawling thing. Unlearn arrogance. A good start for all of us.
Dear Pierre,
There is no Buddha 'in me' other than that which is realized by my meagre, imperfect practice.
I have only committed to learning what is real, not to unlearning what I and/or others perceive wrongly to be unreal.
Regards & thanks for the info regarding the human being who really did paint the calligraphy,
Harry (stupid non-monk).
