<br />
Kishu-Chikurin is the School of kyudo (Japanese Archery) that my Sensei grew up with. Though as he grew up, he decided he prefered a more ceremonial approach. So he went searching and found another school of kyudo. It is this school of kyudo along with the teachings of Koen Mishima Sensei that they first introduced to the Los Angeles Kyudo Kai when I first came to their dojo.<br />
<br />
We had yet one more school of kyudo in the dojo too. Kiomaru Mishima (the younger brother of Koen Mishima) practiced Muyoshingetsu school of kyudo.<br />
<br />
In 1996, when a few of us in America were forming the American Kyudo Renmei under the auspices of the ANKF in Japan, my Sensei was asked by the Mishima brothers to practice Muyoshingetsu-ryu at the dojo. So as he did that, we also formed the Nanka Kyudo Kai for me and others to do kyudo with the AKR/ANKF.<br />
<br />
Many years later The Southern California Renmei was formed to take over the relationship in the area with the AKR/ANKF. So i decided to revert back to the original school my Sensei had taught me. I wanted to keep the principles of that school alive, since i was one of the few still practicing it; even my Sensei was doing Muyoshingetsu-ryu instead.<br />
<br />
The Kishu-Chikurin too, that he had shared with me, has very few practitioners left... even in Japan. So with the opening of our new dojo, i decided to keep that alive as well. Here is a sample of our Kishu-Chikurin practice at our Budo Dojo.<br />

Today was a much smaller group of practitioners so I was able to gather much more one on one time with Sunaguchi Sensei. A small group of us had lunch and dinner with him as well; little gems of knowledge and wisdom were shared throughout the day.<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04231893877138244971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3228594926118800428.post-56416365794834553512017-08-27T21:58:00.000-07:002017-08-30T09:42:46.867-07:00Ogasawara-Ryu Kyudo and Rei-ho Training August 26 & 27 2017The Redwood Kyudojo hosted Sunaguchi Sensei of the Ogasawara-ryu; and invited a few of us to join.<br />

Though not part of this Ogasawara-ryu event; there is a branch of the family that does yabusame. One of the principle members of the Redwood Kyudojo does yabusame with them; So he has this mokuba (wooden horse) to train on.<br />

Today we usually think of martial arts when we say or here the word dojo.<br />
But the dojo was a temple building where The Way was put into arts and other practices.<br />
Each one designed to help us on this path of The Way.<br />

We just do what the ancients did, living reality as it is. But there is such a writing that says the goal, if there is one, is nin gen kei sei "to be human, or become human." Perhaps we can twist this a bit to say to be humane. For the qualities of being human we mean by this phrase is like that, to be humane.<br />
<br />
This means to be Kind, to be compassionate. After all Compassion and Wisdom are to be the two pillars of our lives.<br />

<br /></div>
Our group was doing a ceremony for the local Japanese Community.<br />
We were joined by a fairly large group of local Buddhist Priests from other temples.<br />
One of the older Abbots asked me a question. "So you do kyudo with him too, right?" As he laid his hand toward my teacher. "Yes" I responded. "So, tell me then, in kyudo which is the most important the taihai (<i>approach</i>) or the Hassettsu (8 stages, <i>of shooting</i>)?<br />

<br />
1. Shikantaza = Just Precisely Sitting. Promoted by Dozen Zenji as the proper way to do zazen.<br />
<br />
2. Zazen = Sitting Absorbed. Comes from Zenna (Absorption Meditation); which is said to be the meditation Shakyamuni Butsu found himself, both naturally as a child watching his father work, and when sitting under the 'Bodhi' tree to awaken. Absorption Meditation means to be absorbed into reality as it is, as Reality itself absorbs us... so there is no separation between us. We are living in Reality, and Reality lives in us. This is said to be our natural human state, which results in natural humane behavior. In Zen all other meditations are thought to be the result of living in Zenna. Though they can be used as meditations in and of themselves, they should eventually lead one to be in Zenna, so that they should be, not just a meditative technique, but will be naturally a part of our lives.<br />
<br />
3. Meiso- Japanese Meditation. As most cultures, the Japanese too, always had their own meditations as well; these are usually put under the category of meiso. Since it's used for many meditation, the meaning of each character takes no various connotations according to it's use. But generally relates to the natural sitting of the mind. Me relates to the eyes, and often is said to be eyes closed, or eyes resting (often interpreted as 1/2 closed in a natural resting position). 'i' is harder but deals with nature and natural. So is the mind or thoughts, which should rest naturally like the eyes. In this way there is no separation between Nature, our body (eyes), and our mind. Meiso can be used with all of the Zen Meditations as they descended to it through it's Buddhist heritage.<br />
<br />
4. Nen-Meiso = Nen is Mindfulness. Mindfulness Meditation means to be aware of all time/space... Of our place in relation to all time/space. It has the meaning of both being right here / right now and also remembering all here's and all now's... thus connection past-present-future as one here now. This is often used as a Meditation in Daily Life during all of our daily activities. Nen-Meiso is the natural result of living in Zenna.<br />
<br />
5. Kan-Meiso = Kan is Insight; or to see clearly into reality... Looking deeply into Reality.<br />
<br />
6. Kida-Meiso = aka Sanmai; This is to be established; focused; concentrated; determined. <br />
<br />
7. Jaku-Meiso = Tranquility.<br />
<br />
8. Kakusoku = Immediately Awake. This is an interesting type of awareness, where it settles no where, with no distinction. Naturally, immediately we are awake. This is often thought to be the true teaching of Soto-shu Zen.<br />

The 2017 Asia Oceania Seminar and Shinsa was held in New Zealand. It was the first time that this event was held outside of Japan. Because I had visited the Australian and New Zealand groups the previous couple of years in a row, I decided to support this event; and they decided to help support my attendance as well. It was a great experience all the way round.</div>
