「反転」（田中森一）と中村天風
日曜日、ゴルフの打ちぱなしで汗を流していると、携帯がブルル・・・・、「もしもし、お前、田中森一の反転読んだか・・」
突然兄からの電話である。「なに、それ・・」、「今話題の小説、止めケン（検事）の田中森一が書いた本だ」、「それがどうしたん・・」、
「直ぐ買って読め・・・、これは凄い、朝から首っ引き目が離せん。境遇的に相通じる所もあるし、久し振りに感動した・・」、
少し興奮気味の電話であった。
私は、兄とは一つ違い、所謂年子である。歳は違わなくても兄と弟は全く違う。とにかく兄貴というのは凄い、
ある意味親以上に怖い存在である。その兄の命令である、きかぬ訳には行かない。早速その足で本屋に向かい、大枚1700円をはたき「反転」
を購入。
直ぐに読み始めた、ところが仕事柄もあってか兄の受けた印象と少し違い、寧ろ反発を覚えるところさえある。弁護士たる者が・・・、
守秘義務は・・・等とつい思ってしまう。それにしても、裏社会の一部を垣間見る事ができる興味深い本であったことに違いは無い。
その中で、筆者田中森一は、「終章」と「あとがき」の中で書いているが、
獄中精神的に相当参っている時に友人から送られた一冊の本に救われたという。その本がなんと、
中村天風の講演録をテープ起こしした「成功の実現」であったという。
以後、中村天風に関する本を読み漁り、今では枕元に常時、中村天風の著作「真理のひびき」を置き、何時も寝際に読んでいるという。ただ、
筆者田中森一は中村天風の本を、単なる「自己啓発本」と捉え紹介しているように取れるところがあり、
その点は少し気に入らない。と云うのも実は、中村天風は50年の長きに亙って講演活動を行いながら、
自筆の本は殆ど残していない。それには、先生なりの深い考え方があり、真理の教えは「文章で書き表せれるものではない・・」との思いと
「本を読んで簡単に判ったと思われたら、逆に教えが仇になることがある（中途半端に勉強し判った気になっていると、
イザ事があった時にできず、出来ない自分が情けなくなり落ち込みがより一層深くなる）」との考えがあったようである。所が、
戦後周囲の強い要望から断りきれず、非売を条件に3冊の本を書いている。その本が、今「天風会」
の唯一の教材となっているが市販はされていない。本の題名は、「真人生の探究」
「研心抄」「錬身抄」で、所謂、天風三部作である。その他に「安定打坐考抄」があるが、何れも非売品である。可也難解な本であるが、
市販されている中村天風関係の本とは一味も二味も違う。市販されている天風関係の本は、天風会の会員やその周辺者が書いたものが全てで、
天風先生自らの著作で無い為、単なる自己啓発のハウツー本として読まれる傾向がある。
本当に中村天風直伝の「心身統一法」を勉強するには、各地に在る天風会員の集まる所に出向き、直接学ぶしか方法はない。

On Sunday, as I was sweating from golfing, my cell phone rang: “If you’ve read Mori Tanaka’s Inversion…
Suddenly it was a phone call from my brother. What’s that?”, “It’s a book written by the popular novelist, Tanaka Morikazu, who is a prosecutor.”, “What’s that about?
“Buy it now and read it…this is great, I can’t take my eyes off of it in the morning. I was touched for the first time in a long time, because we are in the same situation.
It was a slightly excited phone call.
I am an older child than my brother, so to speak. They may not be different in age, but they are completely different from my brother. Anyway, you’re a great big brother.
In a way, they are more scary than their parents. It’s his brother’s order, and he can’t afford to ignore it. I immediately went to the bookstore and bought a large amount of 1,700 yen for “Reversing”.
Purchase.
I started reading it immediately, but it was a little different from my brother’s impressions because of the nature of my work, and I even felt repulsed by it. A lawyer…
I think that confidentiality is … etc. Nevertheless, it must have been an interesting book that gave us a glimpse into the underworld.
The author, Shinichi Tanaka, writes in his “Final Chapter” and “Afterword
When he was mentally overwhelmed in prison, he was saved by a book sent to him by a friend. The book is…
It is said that it was a taped transcript of Tenpou Nakamura’s lecture, “The Realization of Success”.
Since then, he has read many books on Nakamura Tenpou, and now always keeps his book “The Hibiki of Truth” at his bedside, which he reads at night. Just…
The author, Shinichi Tanaka, seems to have introduced Tenpou Nakamura’s book as a mere “self-help book”.
I’m a little uncomfortable with that. In fact, Tenpou Nakamura has been giving lectures for 50 years, but he has also been involved in the
He kept few autograph books. There was a deep thought of his own, and he felt that the teachings of the truth could not be expressed in writing.
If you read a book and think you understand it easily, your teaching may be against you (if you study halfway through and think you understand it, you may not understand it at all).
It seems that he had the idea that he would not be able to do it at the time of the disaster, which would make him feel sorry for himself and his depression even deeper. But…
After the war, at the urging of those around him, he was unable to refuse, and wrote three books on the condition that they would not be sold. That book is now called “Tenpukai.
It is the only teaching material of the Japanese government, but it is not available on the market. The title of the book is “The Quest for True Human Life.
This is the so-called “Tenpou Trilogy”, which is “Kenshinsho” and “Renshinsho”. In addition, there is a copy of Steady Daza-Ko-Sho, all of which are not for sale. It’s a rather esoteric book, but
It’s a bit different from the books about Tenpou Nakamura that are on the market. All the books on Tianfeng that are available on the market are written by members of the Tianfeng Kai or those around them.
Since it is not written by Mr. Tenpou himself, it tends to be read as just a how-to book for self-development.
The only way to truly study the ‘mind-body unification method’ of Nakamura Tenpou’s direct teachings is to go to various places where Tenpou members gather and learn directly.
If you live along the Keihan Line, please visit the “Kori Tenpukai”.
It’s a great way to make sure that you’re getting the most out of your time.
