Saitan No Ge - New Year´s Poem

by Shodo Harada Roshi



the world is Disturbed by chaotic Wars

When will the day come that the people finally recieve peace?

The oyster bearing a rabbit-pearl is of deep deep meaning

Radiating complete Purity through heaven and earth



The world is disturbed by many ongoing wars, when will the day finally come that the people of the world can encounter a quiet time?

The clam swallowed the light of the moon, that is how the pearl inside is being created. There is a deep deep meaning in this. The light radiating from the clam is making heaven and earth shine with purity.

From the old days it is said in China that there lives a rabbit in the moon. When it is full moon, the clam opens its shell and absorbs the light of the moon. The light entering the clam then brings forth a pearl. The light and the pearl are bringing brightness to the world.

This story appears in the 90th case of the Blue Cliff Records:
A monk asked Chimon, “What is the body of wisdom?” Chimon said, “An oyster swallowing the bright moon.”

The monk asked, “What is the function of wisdom?” Chimon said, “A rabbit getting pregnant.”

This is also a story from old China, saying that there are only female rabbits, no male rabbits are around. So how does a baby rabbit get born? The female rabbit quietly keeps gazing up to the full moon and becomes pregnant.

Yet here it comes, wisdom and the functioning of wisdom cannot be two separate aspects. For example, the light of the full moon is the base and the shining, the functioning happens simultaneously. There are not two worlds. The shining of the moon at the same time makes the world bright. Yet the monk is asking here about two aspects, as if there are separated. Chimon Osho is correcting the monk´s mistake.

A monk asked Chimon, “What is the body of wisdom?” Chimon said, “An oyster swallowing the bright moon.”

The monk asked, “What is the function of wisdom?” Chimon said, “A rabbit getting pregnant.”

He is saying it the other way around. When the oyster opens its shell and the light of the full moon enters then a pearl is being created. And the functioning of wisdom? A rabbit getting pregnant. The other way around. The base and function are not separated. The bright moon is shining onto this world. There are not two worlds, only one.



Yet people get so confused, believing that there are two worlds. We are all just human beings. The one who wins and the one who loses – just a human being. If this were to be understood, we would not fight, and then the whole world could become purified.

Our Dear Roshi Sama! The deep Truth of zazen to be experienced 🥰

~by Shodo Harada Roshi:
"... This clear human character, which is like a mirror, can accept and receive everything, but nothing that is reflected can get stuck to this mirror. It reflects everything exactly as it is, but the mirror itself stays untouched. This mirror-like Mind has no sense of “that’s me” or “that’s him, not me.” It has no dualism; it makes no distinctions like that. At that true base, there actually is no differentiation between self and others. The world that is reflected in—reflected by—that mirror is not one of self and other; it has no such separation, it accepts everything as one unified whole. From the origin there is only one world, with no division into “my” world and “your” world.
In zazen we need to align our body so that our mind, like a great huge mirror the size of the universe, can better reflect the myriad things.
From the beginning we all have a clear nature; we dont gain it because we train, but it may take some time to awaken to it.
Altthough people have different names and different histories, there is a place within each of us, that is before all that, identical in each of us and uniting all of us; it is that place in each person, that hears the dog barking and sees the red flowers in the same way. The sound, that the buddha hears, is the same sound that we hear. We all have the same mind.... This mind, that every person has from birth, is what we call buddhanature.
When we see in this way, we love everything directly, not because we think we should, but because there is no way to see anything as apart from ourselves. When what is seen and what is seeing are one, that is prajna, and a spontaneous love for all beings is born from there."

Верьте и действуйте! Либо действуйте так, будто вы верите... и оно произойдёт, у лучшего будущего не будет шанса не случиться!
Друзья, присоединяйтесь к Энтони Хопкинсу! ...и мне :)

«Люди всего мира, где бы вы ни были, я знаю, вам сейчас нелегко. Я старик, живу давно, и живу я c oптимизмом. Oбращаюсь к отчаявшимся молодым людям. Поверьте мне. Я читал, уже не помню где, то ли в Beтхом Завете, то ли y Kapлоса Kacтанеды, про одного шамана. Была засуха — умирал скот, умирали люди. И шаман сказал: “Делайте рвы. Poйте рвы для дождя”. “Но ведь дождя нет”. “Poйте рвы, и дождь придёт”.

Heверующие скажут, что это чушь. Xopoшо, верьте во что хотите. Это рациональное мышление. Ho я не думаю, что рациональное мышление в настоящее время работает. Нужно иррациональное мышление, подсознание! Когда я был маленьким, я мечтал стать тем, кто я сейчас. Может, у меня было видение, я не знаю. Я не сильно надеялся, но то, o чём я мечтал, произошло co мной. И теперь я верю, что мы можем сгущать время, притягивать его к себе.
Эти мечты о будущем: “O, я сделаю что-то в следующем году”. Этого не существует, завтрашнего дня не существует, следующего часа не существует. Это лишь возможность. Ho мы можем перетянуть время в настоящее, сейчас, прямо в солнечное сплетение, в нашу душу.

Poйте рвы! Что бы вы ни задумали сделать, верьте в это, верьте в это, верьте в это. Если вы не верите, играйте в веру. Действуйте так, как будто вы верите. Это и есть сила. Это абсолютная сила. И тогда это произойдёт. Верьте мне, старому дураку. Cpaботало в моей жизни сработает и в вашей. Никогда не сдавайтесь! Верьте, верьте, верьте! Агностик вы, атеист, кто угодно — это не имеет значения. Верьте, верьте, верьте! Как верю я».
