「20代で得た知見」引用
私たちを守るものは、私たちを孤独にもする。
昨日読んだ本の感動した文章だ。何度考えても、本当にそうだよね。
他の人と親しくなりたくなくて、打ち解けない。群衆に取り囲まれるのが嫌で、必然的に人に会う機会を減らしている。
だけど、心地よい居場所を捨てれば、新しいチャンスは生まれてくるはずだ。だからこそ、いろいろなことを試して、充実した生活を送ろう。

Buddhism in Japan [#2]
The first branch of Zen tradition that we will take a closer look at is the one established by Dōgen Zenji, Sōtō Zen School.
Also known as Dōgen Kigen (1200-53), he was ordained as a Buddhist monk on Mt. Hiei. At the age of 23, he left for China in search of ‘the true Way of Buddha.’ There he discovered the practice of zazen (’seated meditation’ 座禅), which became the main focus of his preaching. After coming back to Japan, he left for the mountains of Echizen, where he established in 1244 one of the two head temples of Sōtō Zen - Eiheiji. His most prominent work is ‘Shobogenzo Zuimonki’
Keizan Zenji (1268-1325) - was the 4th ancestor in the Japanese Sōtō Zen lineage. In contrast to Dōgen Zenji, whose main focus was an exploration of the internal self, Keizan Zenji looked outwards and boldly spread the teachings. He also emphasised the equality of men and women by promoting his female disciples. In 1321 he founded the second head temple Sojiji, which was moved to Yokohama after being burnt down during the Meiji period
In contrast to Rinzai Zen School, which had the support of many powerful people, including the shogunate, the Sōtō Zen School had adherents mainly among wealthy families in the rural districts
Head Temples
Tumblr media
Eiheiji Temple (’The Temple of Eternal Peace’) - located deep in the Echizen mountains, in northwest Japan. The land was offered to Dōgen by Yoshishige Hatano, one of his most devoted lay followers. To this day, one hundred monks continue to practice his shikantaza (’single-minded seating’ 只管打坐)
Tumblr media
Sojiji Temple - it is an internationally open temple for Zen practice located near Yokohama city. On its extensive grounds educational facilities such as a university, high school and junior high school are located. One can see how these two temple complexes differ and how both of them strive to emulate their founders’ teachings

Buddhism in Japan [#1]
I have changed my mind. I know that I have said that instalments will be chronological - and they will be - but considering that I am almost finished with ‘A Tale for the Time Being’ by Ruth Ozeki - a highly recommended read - I have decided to first study the teachings of one Dōgen Zenji, a founder of Sōtō Zen School. However, before that, it is probably beneficial to learn about Zen in general. ^^
Overall, there are twenty-two religious corporations registered with the Japanese government that are recognised as belonging to the Zen tradition, the biggest of which are Sōtō School and Rinzai School. Today we will focus on the former.
Things that all Zen branches have in common include:
Dharma transmission is said to have been founded by the Buddha Shakyamuni
Most of the branches (流派) were established during the Kamakura period (1185-1333)
They all trace their lineages back to China through two men - Nanpo Jōmyō, also known as Daiō Kokushi (1235-1308), founder of the Daiō branch of Rinzai Zen; Dōgen Kigen (1200-53), founder of the Dōgen branch of Sōtō Zen
Japanese training monasteries are modelled on the leading Buddhist monasteries of Song and Yuan Chinese dynasties
Key Concepts
Dharma transmission (傳法) - the act of designating a dharma heir 
Dharma - a key concept in Buddhism and Hinduism considered to be one of the three jewels of Buddhism, alongside sangha (the Buddhist monastic order) and Buddha. When capitalised, it is understood as the collective teachings of the Buddha. Otherwise, as ‘the way things are,’ aka ‘the laws of nature.’ The earliest writings on it come from the Vedas and it was the main focus of Buddha’s mediations. It is also thought that an individual’s dharma is pre-determined
Shakyamuni - an epithet for the ‘historical’ Buddha, the founder of the Buddhist religion in the present world cycle. His image (shakazō 釈迦像) is the main object of veneration (honzon 本尊) on the central altar of most Zen monasteries and temples

Buddhism in Japan [SERIES]
During my year-stay in Japan I have realised that I have minimal to none knowledge on Buddhism in Japan, which is not only essential if you’re studying the culture and history of this country as an actual degree but also really helpful if you’re considering at all to sightsee all the shrines and temples.
Therefore, I have decided to explore the topic and create a ‘little’ series on it. How little will it actually be depends on how far I decide to research the subject. ^^ It will be divided into bite-size instalments, starting with a general overview and proceeding with more detailed descriptions of specific sects. 
Without further ado, let’s get started!
Buddhism in Japan
There are 13 major sects that can be distinguished in Japan (peach-coloured).
Tumblr media
Chronologically speaking, these are the Six School of Nara Buddhism, which emerged after the capital was moved to the city of Nara in 710 AD; Heian Buddhism which includes Tendai and Shingon sects from the Heian period (794-1185) and schools that branched off during the Kamakura shogunate (1185-1333) such as Jōdō or Nichiren. Lastly, there are Zen sects which also emerged around the same time.
Next instalment will cover the two main sects of the Six Schools of Nara Buddhism. ^^

[I love him so much cx] それじゃ…
有益な表現:
あり得ない
見くびってもらっちゃ困るぜ
何やってんだよ!
章の引用
巨人は最大でも15mのはず…!50mの壁から頭を出すなんて…
でも:the て-form of です + も ‘even’. It should not be confused with the particle combination で+も, where で is a particle of location or of means.
WH-word + でも yields the following meanings:
誰でも anyone
何でも anything
いつでも any time   いつでもかまいませんよ Any time will be fine
どこでも any place
どれでも no matter which it is
なんて:「XなんてY」 it is used to express criticism of X or display surprise concerning it. In contrast to なんか it can be also used after a verb or adjective, not only a noun

今日の類語
気持ち・心持ち・心地・気分

「使い方」
気持ち:あなたに対する気持ちは変わらない
心持ち:褒められて悪い心持ちになる人はいない
心地:すごいスピードで生きた心地がしなかった
気分:ウキウキした気分で出かけた
「使い分け」
気持ちは、心持ち、気分よりも感情や考えている内容を具体的に表わすことが多い。「どうしても大学に行きたい気持ち」

心地は、気分とほぼ同じように使うが、気分より文章語的である。「夢心地」寝心地」のように、他の名詞に付いて「心地」の形で使われることも多い
