香里天風会
天風会の事は以前にも何回かこのブログで紹介したが、パソコンで「天風会、中村天風、心身統一法、天風哲学」
などで検索すると、相当詳しく紹介されているので、ご興味のある方はそちらを見て頂く事として、
ここでは私が所属する「香里天風会」について少し書いてみたいと思う。
香里天風会は、京阪「香里園」駅で下車、改札を出て東へ歩くと、少しひなびた商店街に出る、その坂を少し上った右手に、昔乍の
「藤田内科医院」（休診中）と書かれた看板が目に入る。その、医院の２階が「香里天風会」の道場である。
駅から徒歩５分の利便な所にあり、しかも自前の道場である。天風会の支部道場は全国各地にあり、多くの熱心な会員が毎日曜日、
心身統一法の行修を行っているが、自前で道場を持ち、誰にはばかる事無く素足に短パンひとつで行修が出来るのは、ここ香里だけである。
藤田邸の敷地は６００坪からあり、医院の裏に本宅がある。その前が和洋折衷のお庭になっており、
芝生の庭が我が香里天風会の戸外修錬場である。夏に行われる修錬会（夏季特別研修会）には全国各地の熱心な会員が馳せ参じてくれるが、
誰もが先ず最初に口にするのは「香里は良いなー」である。これは偏に藤田先生（９１歳）
のありがたいお志に寄るものだが、本当に恵まれた環境にある。それゆえにではあるが、今年の冬は相当応える・・。何が・・・
とお思いの方に少し説明をすると、
心身統一法の戸外修錬（プラナヤマ呼吸、呼吸操錬、統一式運動、平和運動（積極体操）、駆け足、
光線呼吸等々）は、基本的に男性は素足に短パンひとつで行う。ところが、
昔はともかく最近は素足に短パンひとつは異様で世間が煩い。そこで、自前の道場を持たない各支部は、運動靴、短パン、
半そでシャツに鉢巻というのが一般的な服装となっている。ところが、香里は塀囲いされた私邸の庭が運動場である。
そのため世間体など全く関係ない。そこで創設以来３５年間、何一つ変える事無く、天風先生ご存命当事と同じスタイルで行っている。従って、
真冬でも元気の良い男は、素足に短パンひとつに鉢巻姿で、約１時間戸外での行修を行う。ゆえに今年の冬は相当応える・・となる。
足は５分もすると全く感覚がなくなる、ところが終わりごろにはポッポッとしてくるから不思議である。
一昨日の日曜は香里天風会の新年会であった。朝９時?１０時は何時もの戸外修錬、
その後通常は道場で養動法、安定打坐（天風式坐禅）、誦句となるが、
新年会の特別企画で２時間の講話があった。講師は、山本紹之助先生（８３歳）にお願いした。
先生は１８歳で天風先生に師事し、以来６５年間心身統一法を基本に人生を歩んできた人である。
天風道を我が物とした実践に基ずくお話だけに言葉の一つひとつに重みがあり、何時もながら非常に勉強になるありがたいお話であった。
I have written about the Tenpukai several times before on this blog, but I have been using my computer to write “Tenpukai, Nakamura Tenpou, Unification of Mind and Body Method, Tenpou Philosophy
It is introduced in considerable detail if you search by the following terms, so if you are interested in it, please have a look at it.
Here I would like to write a little about the Kori Tenpukai to which I belong.
The Kari Tenpukai is located at the Keihan “Karien” station, exit the ticket gates and walk east to a slightly deserted shopping street.
You will see a sign that says “Fujita Clinic” (closed). The second floor of the clinic is the dojo of “Kori Tenpukai”.
It is conveniently located five minutes on foot from the station and has its own dojo. Tenpukai branch dojos are located all over the country, and many of our dedicated members attend them every Sunday.
She has her own dojo, and she is the only one who can do it barefoot and in a pair of shorts without being seen by anyone.
Fujita’s house is located behind the doctor’s office. In front of it, there is a garden with a blend of Japanese and Western styles.
The lawn garden is the outdoor training ground of our Shangri-la. Many enthusiastic members from all over the country come to the Shurenkai (special summer training sessions) held in the summer.
The first thing that everyone says is “Kari is good”. This is Dr. Fujita (91 years old).
We have been blessed with a very good environment. That’s why, however, this winter will be quite a challenge. What’s…
Let me explain a little about this to you.
Outdoor practice of mind-body unification (pranayama breathing, breathing exercises, unification exercises, peace exercises (positive gymnastics), running, and
Basically, men wear bare feet and a pair of shorts (light breathing, etc.). However.
In the past, it used to be, but nowadays, barefoot and one pair of shorts are strange and bothers the world. Therefore, chapters that do not have their own dojos are required to wear athletic shoes, shorts, and a pair of shorts.
Half-sleeve, shirt and headband are the common attire. However, the garden of Kari’s private residence, which is fenced off, is a playground.
Therefore, publicity has nothing to do with it. In the 35 years since its establishment, it has not changed a single thing, and has continued to do so in the same style as when Dr. Tenpou was alive. Therefore, the
Even in the dead of winter, the energetic man, wearing bare feet, a pair of shorts and a headband, goes outdoors for about an hour. Therefore, this winter will be a considerable response.
After five minutes, my legs will be completely numb, but by the end of the day, they will be popping.
The Sunday before yesterday was the New Year’s party of the Kori Tenpukai. 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. is the usual outdoor training.
After that, usually in the dojo, there is yodoharma, stable daisy (Tenpusan-style zazen), and chanting.
There was a two-hour sermon at the New Year’s Party special. The lecturer was 83-year-old Mr. Shaunosuke Yamamoto.
He is a person who, at the age of 18, became a student of Master Tenpou and has lived his life for 65 years on the basis of the Unification of Mind and Body Dharma.
It was a very enlightening story, because each word of the story was based on the practice that made the Tenpodo my own.
