A Drop of Water Sogen

Shodo Harada Roshi



When the Monaco would become the National Teacher Fukushi, entered the monastery of descent Hogen, Hogen Buneki Zenji ( 885-958), was already Sozan been with Master for many years. Because he thought he had already achieved enlightenment, Fukushi was confined to live in the monastery without going to sanzen ("meet the teacher" ndt). One day a
monaco Hogen asked the master: "What is a drop of water Sogen?" The Monaco was in fact asking the great Dharma, truth, transmitted by the Sixth Patriarch of Zen, what is actually everything? He was asking the essence of the Dharma teaching that came from the temple Sogen the Sixth Patriarch. "The drop of water Sogen" was it the way for him to refer to this Great Truth.
When asked, "What is the drop of water Sogen," Hogen said immediately: "This is a drop of water Sogen. So he answered,
saying: "Just who asks is that drop of water Sogen." But that Monaco had started the exchange of koan not understand the meaning of the answer he had received and, after bowing, he departed. When
Fukushi, who was standing behind the Monaco, he heard this exchange of words was at once deeply enlightened. And though you think you have already achieved enlightenment while staying at the monastery of Sosan Roshi, he knew that there was still more to achieve, and that had not yet fully understood, but since now his mental state was much more mature, in that single phrase Hogen was fully and completely realized.
The phrase "a drop of water Sogen" riflerisce is the flow of a drop - the essence of the dharma-the mountain where he lived Saokeisan Patriarca.Questo the sixth is the end point of Zen where neither words nor sentences can arrive. It 's the true place of Zen, the pulse of the truth of the sixth patriarch. For
Okayama was a teacher called Gisan Zenrai Zenji who made an excellent use of these words and through them a monaco who studied with him was deeply illuminated so that later became known as Tekisui Zenji, or "a drop of water" Zenji (Zen priest, ndt). The following incident happened to Sogenji, in the year 1837.
When his master died Taigen Shigen Zenji, Gisan Zenrai Zenji became the abbot of Sogenji and began teaching there. At that time they met more than a hundred monks to do zazen and among them some Giboku Zenji. One day Giboku was commissioned to prepare the bath for the master Gisan, was nineteen years old and was old enough to believe that they have figured out how to make good cose.Giboku was formed initially in a monastery in Kyoto where he could not find a good master and had come in Okayama after hearing that there, Sogenji, was an excellent teacher. At that time a poor Monaco had no money to spend, but Giboku, having made a great vow came at Okayama walking with broken sandals and increasingly poor. He did so with the Sanzen Gisan Roshi but not being in condition to offer incense as a gift, made with a handle of a brush that someone had given him.
Giboku then was in Sogenji only recently when his turn came to prepare the bath. The bath water was too hot so took buckets of water from the well to cool it. As the temperature DeVenne just put the last bucket in which they remained a few drops of water unused and before going to take more water on the floor thinking he threw the no longer needed. Gisan then saw him and said, "What are you doing? "" I threw the remaining water, "he said candidly Giboku. "If you practice with a mind so made, no matter how much practice you do not wake up. If you throw away the remaining water, how can it be used? If the door off and then I give you give life to plants and water will receive the same life. If the cucumbers from the garden they will receive help and also the water will be met. "
The task of those who received the monastic order is indeed to create to everything but can not be done with such a great manaca attention. In this way Giboku was reprimanded. Nineteen years since he thought he had already figured out, but after the rebuke he realized how little he actually knew, and that such a simple thing like a drop of water, one drop of made him understand that should start to engage in practice and in doing so became a great Zen master.
course, today the water is generally available even though there are times and places where it is scarce. Often, for lack of care or attention, we use the water even when there is no need. The drops of rain fall, one after the other from the sky, there's on the leaves of trees, trunks, stone walls and only comes together when you gather a small stream. These streams can meet with others and form a river. When the waters of many rivers meet the sea also becomes possible. The origin of the sea is the raindrop that falls from the sky. A drop of water. Every drop has to be a useful, a small amount of water has its function as a large quantity. be able to use the potential of any amount, be it large or small, this is our profound wisdom. Being able to make the best use possible of the amount of water we have is human wisdom. Zen is
cultivating the clear vision and deep that allows us to know and act appropriately in any situation that happens.
is not a matter of a wisdom that has to do with petty and small pieces of information but rather a wisdom that allows you to see all the way to the essence of things. Allows us to make use of every thing whatever it is and give it life. The depth of the same mind is Zen. In this way Gisan Zenrai Zenji constantly lit his disciples. Tekisui Giboku Zenji used that wisdom, gave him another life and before his death said

"The drop of water Sogen,
for seventy-four years was used,
never run out, through Heaven and Earth "

So saying he died. For seventy-four years Use 'the wonderful teaching that had received Sogenji importance of water. I use 'to fund and gave him life but it was impossible to exhaust this teaching. When we use the money, you consume. If we use things for a long time, wasting, but is used when teaching becomes more brilliant. Throughout his life Tekisui gave this teaching can extend through the earth and the sky. Utillizzando water as a metaphor for teaching what is the nature of Buddha. This truth, this revival of the true eye was what was being taught.
From the descendants of Gisan Zenrai Zenji was also the chief abbot of Kamakura Engakuji: Imakita Kosen. The lineage of teaching was continued by Shaku Soen that, at the World Congress of Religions
hundred years ago, gave the first Buddhist teaching in America.
One of the disciples of Shaku Soen was Daisetzu Teitaro Suzuki considered one of the leading translators of Buddhism in English.
That drop, a drop of course, that dharma now receiving life throughout the world. Myoshinji (the main monastery of the Rinzai tradition, ndt) was founded in Tokyo by EKKE Shuken, a student of Gisan Zenrai, but the monastery was founded by Tenryuji Tekisui Zenji and Osaka, was in Sakae Nanshuji founded. Among the other students were also Gisan Zenrai Zenji Daisetsu Joen and Ogino Dokuen Shokokuji of the monastery.
When we look closely at this we see that this current, which is a major Zen, comes mostly from the overflowing stream of wisdom that comes from the drop Sogenji and that Japan has reached around the world.
The teaching of the Sixth Patriarch, with water as a metaphor for the Buddha Nature, he received great respect from Gisan Zenji which makes it present teaching. Since then, that teaching has received great life.

Shining by Stanley Kubrick

Marco Agus Josto

novel by Stephen King, this film directed by Kubrick is set in Colorado, the Rocky Mountains and takes place entirely within the Overlook Hotel.
Jack Torrance, played by Nicholson of Science, has agreed to do the warden of a large hotel, which remains closed during the winter and completely isolated from world. Accept the job taking advantage of the quietness of the place even to finish his novel.
The owner of the hotel lights on the possible problems arising from isolation and especially on the tragic end of the previous guardian, upset by the claustrophobia, had killed his wife and children then took off his life.
joint all'Overlook Hotel with his wife Wendy and son Danny, Jack Torrance seems to be comfortable in the huge facility, with every comfort.
Little Danny, who possesses the shining, that psychic powers that allow him to see what others see and communicate telepathically, in turn, warned the chef Hallorann against the dangers that the events of the past are for him and his family in particular are advised not to set foot in the room 237. In the hotel
desert and the snow, Jack shows the first signs of imbalance and tries to distract ed'insofferenza throwing himself headlong into work, but this is reduced to an accumulation of papers in which he wrote the same phrase: "A lot of work and no fun makes Jack a dull boy! "
Jack begins to" meet "with the late Grady, and other characters from the past, and falls into a state of isolation and tension that more and more away from family and from reality. Even Danny
has visions of becoming more frequent, particularly the two daughters killed by Grady, making it aware of the menace of the situation.
Wendy, in turn, while not grabbing any foreign presence, he realizes the growing turmoil of her husband and try to ask for help by radio, but Jack destroys the device. Only Danny
powers can establish communication with the outside world: it receives signals Hallorann all'Overlook Hotel and rushes, but was killed by Jack trying to kill his son and wife. Chasing Danny
-maze in the garden near the hotel, however, is fooled by the baby and can not find the exit, only to die frozen.

With this film, Kubrick would definitely create a horror film, much in vogue in those years, but remaining faithful to its cinematic style and ideology.
resorts to typical horror elements, such as the hotel built on a cemetery, the pact with the devil (when Grady convinces Jack to kill his family), necrophilia (Jack in a scene is seduced by a woman who then however, reveals an old rotting).
Kubrick focuses on these elements with extremely rational eye, as a spectator, creating a film for sharp images and crystal clear, and that is even more disturbing.
awareness of the drama and fear because what happens is you very real, potential or could be, as it is a psychological drama, derived from the madness and isolation.
are therefore not the few explicit horror scenes, namely, those of the murder of Hallorann or waterfalls of blood that flooded the hotel, to create fear in the viewer, but rather the extreme psychological tension that reigns throughout the duration of the film .
The name of the hotel, Overlook, which means to see, doted, highlights a fundamental aspect of the film, ie the ability to Danny, to see beyond reality thanks to the shining, that if one side makes the restless child through visions of death and despair, allow him to save himself from the other parent with the clarity and calm that sustain it in times of extreme tension. In this
Kubrick ago Danny change of clothes for each scene to demonstrate its viability compared to inner death of his father and then her mother.
E 'Danny certainly the psychological character of the film, the key to the only able to save themselves. Danny
before leaving for the hotel is already receiving it will face a tragedy but that is why when it manifests itself in facing the other is more glossy. The tragedy of Danny is not able to do anything to save his family impassive and assist in the shocking final.
The film in this light, also reads as a metaphor for life, seen as a struggle for survival in which only the strongest, the smartest in this case, comes out a winner. The gun that Danny uses to defeat his father invaded by murderous rage, it will be just what the father has lost, that lucidity.
Jack Torrance, a former literature professor, appears at the beginning of the film as an extremely rational and self-confident and at the same time it will take advantage of the creative work to complete writing the novel of his life.
Nothing seems to upset him and gives little credence to the recommendations of the master hotel.
Here is a man capable of sustaining Kubrick seems to tell us any problem. But the problems that Torrance will have to face are those for which it has been used to fight, house, salary, profession, family and affect another medal to be a man, ie the intellect and mental clarity.
Kubrick makes us understand how these two elements are essential in order to survive in the jungle and well-being that is life, and that the absence of one, the other takes over, turning our lives. Jack Torrance
lose the light of reason, because it has embarked on an enterprise bigger than him, not considering any possible difficulties arising.
That which is to struggle and, unfortunately, is not to succumb to the difficult work of guardian, the truth is too simple, but rather forced cohabitation with himself and then with his mind. The forced isolation, excessive persistence in work wear psychologically Jack Torrance who reacts violently, hurling his kin.
Kubrick but not so intellectual that it poses no real solutions to this problem, and, in fact, Jack Torrance would love for his wife and son in the affection of his keys to salvation. Jack And the same should be aware of growing problem when mechanically writes, "much work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." The solution is there, Kubrick seems to say, at your fingertips. And 'the Jack unconsciously to notice and write, but I can not find it fun alone, and salvation is not in him.
At this point takes over the figure of the mother-wife Wendy that remains obscure in the shadows throughout the film. Very loving wife and caring mother too, Wendy does not know with certainty what role to assume. Intellectually active but not brilliant, is the shadow of her husband and son of the cage. Unable to hold and divert her husband at the first symptoms of imbalance, the leisure of which Jack needs more are only the affection and warmth of a woman, and rightly so helpless in the face of physical violence from her husband, Wendy seems disoriented and totally dominated the events.
His final redemption has sacrificed himself to save the child, and desperate gesture last but certainly not simplify the future of Danny, while saving it.
Now, Kubrick seems to say, the drama is consumed when family roles are reversed or denied, where the man ceases to be cogitans and tries to regain his lead with violence, where the woman neglected to deny his love 'man pouring into morbidly on the child, where Danny and stripped of his role as son, he is saved thanks to the shining. In
this game in the massacre, in this view of the "mea mors your life, everyone has defeated Jack died frozen in an attempt to kill her son, Wendy and her husband succumbs to Danny, while saving themselves, will face life as an orphan. ---

Scorpio Guy Lost Interest

Rebirth ISM





With the fall of the twin towers in New York, the art, that in the last twenty years had found its American galleries in the exhibition space, seems to have stopped, as indeed for a short period, the rest of human activities.
From the rubble of civilization, no light seems to flash and the arts, always a true reflection of society, seem to have remained steady at an expression difficult to interpret anything.
As always, so at least the story seems to have taught us, after a disaster the jackals of thought take steps to revisit experiences or insights, looking in the same lever emotional tragedy that should approximate the human culture.
But in this case, the lack of a common project, the total absence, up to this moment at least, a genius of expression, gathering and simplifies the experience has not produced the desired results. That is a new artistic language of social and emotional impact.
The tragedy leaves the man with the serenity, to arrive at which art and culture in general have always offered their assistance, the film has imploded on itself, producing the opposite of what you could imagine, not terrible films destruction on American, not terrorist movies live, but images of a life and a society that has seen the danger in the face without worrying too much to defeat him, humanity is not sad and scary, but largely indifferent and utterly unconscious of the danger passed.
While this attitude is not programmed, this response to the death so submissive spontaneously generated a desire for immediate reconstruction, it also simplified the process of psychological and social recovery, leaving an awareness of the problem and the resentment el ' hatred towards destruction.
Far be it from me hope that these feelings take over, it is true that the lack of feelings of revenge has led to a failure in the cultural activities, a total absence of the plethora of images of death and disaster that you would expect to see.
other hand also the romance of a society without death and destruction has not regenerated souls, not pushed them to the idealism and the creation of the perfect society.
What is lacking is the rebirth. The construction of themselves through the pain.
If art, especially painting, has always been a reality or artificial colors and shapes, or the real and lived, after the tragedy, the New York artistic figure has not been able to be placed and reflect on itself. Did not let go by the destructive thrills, images catastrophic and apocalyptic to which television has made room for many days.
But as the television itself an image repeated ad infinitum, this attitude may be justified. Too often the killer plane flew over the towers, too often men and stones have collapsed before our eyes, to review the same images on paper.
From this state of things, this can all be taken from nothing, it has come to no conclusion, nothing has been built from nothing, nothing is produced. The ISM
rebirth is inevitable. Consider the collapse of industrial civilization as the basis from which to resurrect any type of activity, is a condition without which any kind of argument is possible.
light rises from the rubble, but after this tragedy, the lamps of mind you are definitely out, or their light is so dim as to illuminate the memory, only. The ISM is
rebirth after a long analysis of what has previously been painted, and is proposed as the first movement programmatic zero since the year end and destruction.
The coloring on the assumption that painting is the key to salvation for the annulment of memory and historical memory, and that without its ability relaxing and purifying the human soul sin of activism and blind force.
For the first time you get a chance to reconstruct a pictorial language from scratch, to re-establish the laws and canons, without having to account (at least not too much) to the artistic reality of the past.
The coloring on the assumption that the color, intended as a mass-painted, is the dominant element of the work, without which, even before the form, the word painting is not its full meaning.
color as the dominant part of the painting, color spread with a brush or spatula, observing, talking about hand signals, the master painter of the great artists of the past.
The pictorial, understood as trade craft, is the dominant element, no more structural performance or media events, but in than traditional painting based on color or tonal violent, dense or diluted in chiaroscuro, a beautiful impressionist painting in the style short or baroque.





This work entitled Nuit, I intend to open my own propaganda poster painting, a painting where color dominates the scene, the ultramarine blue and blacks tinged with mourning night of rebirth, where the light of civilization rises, such as painting, from the rubble of tragedy.



back The rural landscape, the land he calls his children to grow and work, plowed fields mark the return to antiquity, to the manual craft to rebirth from scratch.
