Bamboo cutting seminar
From Saturday May 28th to Sunday May 29th a Bamboo cutting
seminar was held. 39 participants attended the seminar from all over
Japan. Thank you very much for your attendance. We had participants
from 12 years old to 70 years.
Voices of the participants
I could understand it is important to do things with plus mind.
Do not fix your mind on the bamboo. It is important to think bamboo
as my friend, not to think of it as an enemy. I can use this state
of mind in my daily life.
Woman aged in her 40s
I surprised myself by having a calm mind. I am very glad that I
could cut the bamboo because this had been my dream.
Man aged in his 50s
I did not try to cut the bamboo. This is the reason I could cut
it. Mind and body are one. Ki is extending. I am very happy.
Man aged in his 60s
Last year, I could cut bamboo on the second time. However, this
year could cut smoothly. I appreciate my teacher's teaching. Bamboo
cutting demonstrates the result. What a wonderful thing it is!
Man aged in his 50s
I think the word "Mushin" does not mean no mind, but
the state of oneness of the Universe. I was very nervous when I
practiced, but I could calm my mind in the actual bamboo cutting.
If you do this, you will understand the meaning of the bamboo cutting.
Man aged in his 30s
"Yahoo!" I can announce to my kids. When I cut bamboo, I had no feeling
of cutting bamboo. I realized that it is important to understand how to use mind.
Man aged in his 40s
I thought there is nothing I cannot do in the world! I would like
to challenge many things after I graduate school.
