MUSHOTOKU

Hatsumi Sensei talks to the wind as it expands its teachings throughout the world. Now what is called “stay connected” a few years ago was called “not to cut the ribbon” and the teaching was transmitted by Takamatsu Sensei, the importance of not cutting the ribbon on the teacher-student relationship, student-teacher.
Mushotoku The practice of “search for a non-production” is crucial in budo training. It is essential in the practice of a budo that becomes one with your life. Perhaps too many people venture to associate with roads budô esoteric. I remember well, including date and place (1995 at a popular restaurant south of Gran Canaria), when Hatsumi Sensei said in front of everyone present, that perceptions are not important extransensoriales who truly important is the magokoro is say a sincere heart. This open heart is the launch pad to find your own spirituality, to get to your own enlightenment. As stated in the final part of Great Wisdom Sutra “gyate harasogyatei gyate bojisowaka hannya shingyo.”
Go, go beyond the beyond
A true happiness,
A true freedom
Come together
Infinity along the satori.
Master Taisen Deshimaru says: “The kanji KU has often been translated in the West as” empty “but this translation is inappropriate”
“Empty” is just one of the multiple meanings of KU. The original meaning denotes expansion, centrifugal, KU is not a negation of the concept of existence as such but uses the idea that all existence and its constituent elements are dependent on the principle of causality. Since the causal factors are constantly changing, it is said that there can be static existence.
Another sense of KU is zero, a concept that Indians knew very early, long before the West. Zero has no value in itself, but takes the place of missing values in the numbers. It symbolizes all the possibilities, like a cosmic egg that generates and disintegrates indefinitely, in a rhythmic alternation of centrifugal and centripetal movements. KU is the container and contents of all phenomena, which exist in terms of non-existence and the principle of interdependence … ”
Hatsumi Sensei says: “Fumetsu fusei no, Shindo no jikai, shizen ninniku no, no choetsu shizen, Komyo no satori. Unless you to know these five bases, you can not access the path to enlightenment is described in the Tatara Hibun (ancient Japanese documents) ”
As I wrote in www.kankaku.net, number December 6, 2007. These principles are:
1. Fumetsu not fukyo: Offering timeless. Gratitude.
2. Shindo no Jikai: The discipline of the true path. The faith, confidence.
3. Shizen no Ninniku: Patience and perseverance of nature. The art of perseverance.
4. Shizen no Choetsu: The importance of nature. Inspiration.
5. Komyo not Satori: The truth of light. Clarity.
