Iwama Uchideshi 2009

Tonight was the first keiko. Inagaki Sensei taught the lesson. It was the first lesson of the year at the Shibu dojo. Rather cold, but breaking with tradition they had the doors closed and a heater, it wasn't too cold. There were about 12 people in all, mostly Japanese. The current Shibu uchideshi are Christopher-san and Byron-san, two nice young gents from sweden and america.

We did 3 variations of katate dori kyoku-nage.
1: Kihon
2: Grabbing uke's GI under the elbow and breaking out.
3: Pushing uke's elbow toward them
4: Grabbing uke's belt

I am expecting that we will be continuing with kyoku-nage, probably for the entire three weeks that I am here (and beyond).

First training with Nemoto Sensei tomorrow morning. Yay !!

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!
