ZEN(禅）

春は花　夏ほととぎす　秋は月　冬雪さえて冷（すず）しかりけり

曹洞宗(Soto-shu)　

道元禅師

(Dougen Zenji)

When spring comes, a flower will bloom, when summer comes, a little cockoo will twitter, and when autumn comes, the moon will be seen finely.

And in winter it snows and it is cold dignifie.

(This is the sentence that I translated into English.)

In this way, nature is always the same without changing.

And, although nature does not change, each of the seasons surely circulates and comes round to us as usual.

Just a natural thing is the most important.

It does not change, although it changes, and although it does not change, it changes.

“I am thou. I’m not it.” This is a German philosopher’s word.

In the Heart Sutra

You see the phrase “Shiki soku zeku Kusoku zeshiki” 「色即是空　空即是色」.

It seems to exist there but there is nothing in fact.

It doesn’t seem to exist there but there is something in fact.

I will explain it at a point of view of the atomic physics,

Appearance of all things, is determined by the form of a combination of atoms.

Whether it is visible to your eyes or invisible , it is only the difference.

If it is not visible, it is there, and if it is visible, it does not exist.

Therefore, I am you, am also the big ocean, and am also a bird which flies in the sky.

From where to where is human’s own body?

Sweat and urine, even though there has been in our body as our own until now,

at the moment it comes out of our bodies, it is no longer sweat and urine.

Boundary does not exist in this world.
