If you are able to do this, then you will be able to achieve your goal. If you are able to do this, then you will be able to achieve your goal. It's a very hard job. So, to prepare for the show and the performance, I had to wear a lot of clothing and tie it up. So my legs hurt very fast. So my kimono is not fluffy and I can't see my feet. They are not wearing any clothes. They are not wearing any shoes. They are not wearing anything.

[01:02]

And their obi is loose. This is also loose. They are wearing a heavy obi. And their neckline is also loose. They are wearing a long kimono. And their hair is straight. They are not wearing a kimono. If you have a body, you have to wear it. If you have a body, you have to put on the kimono. But they are not wearing kimono. And they don't have a reason to do it. So, they are wearing kimono silently. They are wearing clothes. And they are wearing clothes. You have to do it like this.

[02:28]

You don't have to look at your heart. So, from the waist, show it like this. Then, gradually, look at your chest. Then, look at your neck. Then, look at your head. This is where you stop. If you do it carefully, it will be easier to do gazens. I couldn't do it at the beginning, so I couldn't do it well. I couldn't go up to that point. I couldn't do it too high, and I couldn't do it too low, so I couldn't do it. I tried to do various things, but if you do it carefully and do gazens, your body will naturally get better. This is the same as going back to life. It's exactly the same.

[03:30]

Dogen Zen-shoma says it's like a demon. A demon. It digs a hole. It digs a hole, and it digs a hollow hole. Then, it digs a hole, and it digs a hole that's sticking out here. Then, it softens it. It goes on like this, and it stretches it out. and it stretches it out. It goes on like this, and it stretches it out. This is the Anma method. Everything must be placed naturally. This is your soul.

[04:32]

This is you. Don't really have to talk to us. Then, after that, then you move your body like that. your body like that. This is Taijo-ryo-shin in Japanese. Don't move your body like that. Quickly. Rapidly. Rapidly. You should move your body like that. Prevent. Preventing form is happening or happening automatically. Dogen Zen says

[05:36]

you should do as if you give a curve point place in place of the body from down to up. From down to up. So, this point is moving the body like that. Like a curve. This is Taijo-ryo-shin in Japanese. In the beginning, you swing from up. In the beginning, you swing from your waist. In the end, you swing from up. Then, you swing from your waist to your feet. Then, you stand. You don't have to do that. It's the same thing.

[06:37]

Before you come again, before you ask Dogen this exercise, you must use your body like that. Going from large motion and to small motion. After this, before you come back from sitting position, you are done. It's over. Moving is going from small motion to large motion. Then, stand. You don't have to do that. do that. You don't have to

[07:39]

do that. You just open your mouth a little bit. Then, you open your mouth. Then, you breathe with your mouth. You breathe with your mouth. Do this two or three times until your body gets used to it. After this, you breathe stronger than your nose. You must breathe strongly. Then, you breathe from your nose. You don't have to breathe with your nose. You don't have to breathe with your nose. You just breathe as if you are breathing. You breathe quietly. Then, breathe with your nose. Then, breathe quietly from your nose.

[08:41]

Then, breathe quietly from your belly to your belly. Then, breathe quietly from your nose again. I think that's the most important thing. That's good. See? That's enough. But don't open your mouth too much. Close your mouth and take everything in your nose.

[09:45]

Breathe in and breathe out. One more time. This may be difficult at first, but you will get used to it eventually. Then you will be able to do it easily. You can't do this no matter how much you practice. It's too early to say that you can't do it. You have to practice hard.

[10:50]

Today, I'm going to explain it only on the shape of your body. To put it simply, this is the way of practicing Zazen. This is the most important technique for Zazen. You have to do this. You have to do this. You have to do this. That's it. Breathe in through your lower stomach.

[11:53]

And when you feel the breathing, there's quite a way out through your nose. That's why it's important not to make noise while you're breathing. Breathe in more. So it's not a fight. But this is the way I describe the outline of this way of Zazen. So to put it simply, this is the way of Zazen that you must follow. This Zazen is called Zut.

[12:58]

Zut means stomach. Zut means way. So this is the way of Zazen which you have to follow. You try to put Zazen into practice. Zazen practice is to put Zazen into practice. In other places, Zazen practice is to put Zazen into practice. Zazen practice is to put Zazen into practice. Repeat it over and over again. But I want you to practice the right way of Zazen.

[14:08]

I want you to put Zazen into practice. I want you to put Zazen into practice. So that you can be in the same form as in this Zazen. So that you can be in the same form as in this Zazen. You can be in the same form as in this Zazen. And the content will be gradually completed. This Zazen is not just a meditation. It is also a great pleasure. I think you can do this great pleasure. If you don't receive it, you can't do it. That's not the case. If you do Zazen, you can do Zazen. If you don't receive it, you can't do Zazen.

[15:15]

But if you receive it, you can do Zazen. If you receive it, you can do Zazen. And the content will be gradually completed. I will talk about Zazen later. [...]

[16:24]

By following the teachings one by one, you can examine yourself, and by doing so, you can practice. This is called Zazen, or perfection. Zazen means that we try to wear, to protect, the meaning of Zazen. And that inspires the connotation of faith essential, spirit, Zazen. Of course, even though you don't wear the Zazen,

[17:30]

the meaning of Zazen is the same. But, we hope, much positive, if you could keep the meaning of Zazen, we invite you to the Zazen. And then, during the meditation, you, the voice itself, came again, and you lift your mind, to take care of the position, or position of the navel, navel and nose, ears and shoulders, your hands,

[18:31]

your body, your back, your head, your eyes. How about your eyes? How about your hands? How about your mouth? To take care of the position of your body. And if you want to do it slowly, you can do it as it is.

[19:35]

If your hand goes down, your head goes up. If your hand goes down, your head goes up. This is the way of teaching in the Zen school. And this is how you do it. And you can do it like this. You can do it like this. You can do it like this. There are many ways to do it. But this is the way of teaching in Zen school. Of course, it can be done as it is. This is how you do it. You can do it slowly. And from now on if you stand this way... Dip your feet. If you listen to this, get up. 十のものが一つになると、合わせると、隙間がないように合わせる、合ったら、そして、こう、鼻のところに、身体と手と一緒に入れます。

[20:51]

In addition, in addition to the line of thought about the kashyap, this is kashyap. Your ten fingers being together, spread like this, not like this, not like this. And, put the palm together, and tip it towards the face in this level of your nose, not like this, not like this. And then, your arms are straight in this straight line, not like this, not like this. And, when you bow, if you bow, don't bow with your hands, don't bow with your head, only palm.

[22:04]

Now, when you bow, please bow with hands and head. When the hand goes down, your head should follow with hands and head. OK? So, not like this, not like this. I think if you see the Buddha statue, you will find, again, find kashyap, you know, kashyap. But, in the explanation of kashyap, Dogen Zenji describes it on the sort of bendo form, bendo, I don't know, bendo form.

[23:15]

When you gassho, when you do gassho, your hand is facing like this. Now, don't support your nose with your hands, OK? Don't support your chin with your hands. And then, change fingers, your fingers must be, must be one, one. Don't make space, change your arm. Don't make space, change your fingers. OK?

[24:26]

OK.
