Iwama Uchideshi 2009: Week three

Week three

Training continues, tomorrow I will enter my third week here, time is moving fast, its hard to keep track of my own personal progression although I am sure that something in that regard is happening.

This coming wednesday is the Tai Sai festival so today we spent the day cleaning around the Shibu Dojo grounds and the Aiki Jinga (shrine) itself. Plenty of people turned out to help, one person rode there bycycle from Tokyo, a 5 hour trip. I managed to get a metal rake which was a lot more effective than the wooden ones, which was lucky, and I now have some nice looking blisters on my hands to prove that I wasn't just standing around and that I was putting it to good use.

So wednesday will be a signifcant day with over one thousand people expected to arrive in Iwama for the ceramony, and the Doshu will perform a demostration which should be great to watch.

Ja Mata The Heart Sutra (Maka hannya haramitta shingyo) Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, when deeply practicing prajna paramita, clearly saw that all five aggregates are empty and thus relieved all suffering. Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness does not differ from form. Form itself is emptiness, emptiness itself form. Sensations, perceptions, formations, and consciousness are also like this. Shariputra, all dharmas are marked by emptiness, they neither arise nor cease, are neither defiled nor pure, neither increase nor decrease. Therefore, given emptiness, there is no form, no sensation, no perception, no formation, no consciousness; no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no sight, no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch, no object of mind; no realm of sight, no realm of mind consciousness. There is neither ignorance nor extinction of ignorance; neither old age and death, nor extinction of old age and death; no suffering, no cause, no cessation, no path; no knowledge and no attainment. With nothing to attain a bodhisattva relies on prajna paramita, and thus the mind is without hindrance. Without hindrance , there is no fear. Far beyond all inverted views, one realises nirvana. All buddhas of past, present and future rely on prajna paramita and thereby attain unsurpassed, complete, perfect enlightenment. Therefore, know the prajna paramita is the great miraculous mantra, the great bright mantra, the supreme mantra, the incomparable mantra, which removes all suffering and is true, not false. Therefore we proclaim the prajna paramita mantra, the mantra that says: Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi svaha!
